I just received an email from FMP to say that they're giving free access this weekend.

As a consequence, because I have a subscription they're giving me 3 extra days at no charge. Very good of them!

Judging by all the posts in their Facebook page, this weekend could be a complete nightmare.

Lots of complaints about the 'new' new search and many more problems.

I am the same as you but I take it to mean that we will be able to take advantage of viewing the records not included in our subs for the three days.

Like you I seem to be getting an extraordinary amount of error messages.

Hope they can cope at the weekend with the extra traffic that the offer will surely generate..

The info I had stated that ALL their records are free, which means worldwide.

The new search is AWFUL

Well, I have my 3 free days having treated myself to a years worth of world subs. this renewal time round (possibly not the best treat ever)

They have also sent me Hints about my tree (a new feature) - my own birth registration, Father's death, couple of marriages I already have and for what I can only think is because I have a couple of Bellamy's in my tree, a selection of death reg's for Frederick Bellamys !! My tree on FMP totals about 2 dozen relations and apart from the unknown Fredericks, the information is there for them to see anyway...............

Just getting used to the all new awful site from months ago, and it all changed again!
