Hello listers. I would like to ask if everyone who is registered with FMP had the complete 90 minutes "free time" and were not cut off before the time was finished? British summertime between 9 am 27th June and 9 am 28th June and on the other days when the English football games took place in South Africa. How were FMP able to know the country earthwide where the subcribers were, what time they signed in and when their time was up? A mammoth undertaking. but very, very, very slow going for the subscribers. April
Dear April, I didn't have any problems here in Dorset, UK. I managed to get on during all the England games. The first time - there was 'overloading the server' problems and I only managed to download 1 document, but after that it was great and I've managed to download over 60 documents - that's nearly all my known rellies who were alive in 1911. I wasn't cut off before the time was finished, but it was to the exact second. I've managed to track down the whereabouts of some of the various siblings and their lines and have also confirmed unknown children born between 1901 & 1911 and now know how many had died, so I can look for them also. I am very pleased with the outcome and if FMP offer it again, I will certainly be logging on!
