Crikey, you seem to be reading something into this that doesn't exist Why would they advertise to those who already have access? They have announced this all over the place see http://www.findmypast.co.uk/freeweekend I added that I as a worldwide subscriber had received an *extra* email telling me they would add three days to my subscription which I thought a good idea as its bound to be busy with a totally free access three days You don't have to use it, its your choice Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 04/03/2015 23:46, ABH wrote: > You have just pointed out that as a SUBSCRIBER you received the > email.

I agree with Nivard totally, I have a worldwide subscription to FMP and had the same details about 3 days of free access for anyone and everyone. for those of us who have a subscription, they have added 3 days on to the end of our sub, so, like mine was going to end on Feb 15th next year, that's now changed and it will end on Feb 18th. Absolutely anyone will be able to access the FMP website over the three days, although I believe I'm correct in saying you will at least need to set up a free acount to do it as you need to be logged in. that doesn't mean you need to pay anything, just set up a free account if you don't already have one. All the best, Jon

AEST is Australian Eastern Standard Time obviously that would not be 10pm British time, any suggestions please John Tyhurst On Thursday, 5 March 2015, 9:18, Nivard Ovington via <cornish-gen@rootsweb.com> wrote: Crikey, you seem to be reading something into this that doesn't exist Why would they advertise to those who already have access?

Mr Google is very useful for this sort of enquiry A google for AEST to GMT gets :- Australian Eastern Standard Time is 10 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time 23:15 Thursday, Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) is 13:15 Thursday, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) Also very useful for pounds to dollars or Australian dollars to pounds etc Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 05/03/2015 11:08, johntyhurst@sky.com wrote: > AEST is Australian Eastern Standard Time obviously that would not be > 10pm British time, any suggestions please > > John Tyhurst

Hi Nivard I don't want to correct you - just add to your considerable knowledge. For time differences between locations around the world I always use: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ I deal with many different countries and find this site useful. To see the actual time zone map: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/ I live in Melbourne, Australia and the notion of time differences between AU eastern states is somewhat confusing in our summer. The eastern states, Tasmania (Hobart), Victoria (Melbourne), ACT (Canberra) and NSW (Sydney) adjust clocks for summer time. (Thank god now they now do it on the same day! In the recent past they adjusted their clocks on different dates!) Queensland (Brisbane) doesn't. Never has. Their reasoning was either that their curtains would fade with the extra hour of daylight (?) or their cows would be confused what time to come to the sheds for milking. Anyway, the notion of AEST in summer in Australia doesn't apply. To add to the confusion we have two "states", one directly north of the other. Northern Territory (Darwin) and South Australia (Adelaide). They have a half hour time difference with the eastern States, and one state adjusts for Daylight Saving/Summer time, and the other doesn't. HTH, Alan.
