But, in one way, they're giving *more* information. For example, when I first searched for my parents by entering my father's name, the preview showed him and said that there was one other person (whom I assumed to be my mother) plus one who is officially locked (whom I assume to be my elder brother who would have been 5 or 6 at the time - I wasn't born) But when I looked today, it listed my father and said {my mother's name} is also on the record, plus one closed person. And when I looked for my widowed grandmother and my (then) 3 unmarried aunts and uncles who were living with her, a similar thing happened. Each time I searched for an explicit aunt or uncle, they were listed and it said that the record also contained {my grandmother} by name plus two other unnamed (but not locked - they were all born before 1910 and are all dead) people. So, if you've got a good idea as to who should be in a household, you can get pretty close to confirming it without spending any money! -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.

Today all I get when trying to preview any record is what was there some days ago - name, reference and x more people. And now when you search based on a specific address it only appears to show the head of household, unlike a few days back when it showed all the non-redacted occupants. Looks like they are closing the loopholes. -- BobC ==========

I wonder whether one's FMP subscription status makes any difference. I *do* have a UK subscription, but I haven't purchased any credits for the 1939 register. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked.
