In earlier discussions, some people speculated that the 1939 Register would not be included in subscriptions for another year or two. I can only assume that FMP now accept that they were wildly optimistic about people's willingness to pay to access individual records - so there was no point in hanging out for that. Including them in subscriptions may encourage other people to subscribe - so FMP will get their money that way instead. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.
