It turns out we have free access to FindMyPast's U.S. and Canada collection, but not to their UK collection. If you want access to the UK collection you have to pay the regular price of $19.95 per month. This is pretty disappointing since the primary reason for subscribing to FindMyPast is their UK collection. The records in their U.S. and Canada collection are widely available elsewhere. Kind of makes you wonder who got the best end of this deal!Ted Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810743230086342147noreply@blogger.com
