Yes, it's just as I feared. I can understand that it has important role as the 1931 census was destroyed and there wasn't a census in 1941, but I'm not sure that is enough to justify the huge price people will have to pay. The blessing for me is that I have enough family memorabilia from those days for me to know the ins and outs of my immediate family at the time, but there are plenty of other people who simply don't have access to such things and it's harder for them. And more expensive. Especially when, as researchers, we all know that it isn't as easy as people in the business of selling genealogy services like to make out.  Regards, Sally > > In the email I received it talked of :- > > Interactive maps showing how your neighbourhood has changed over the > past 130 years > > Local and national newspaper articles from 1939, giving you an insight > into the world in which your family lived > > Photographs documenting life in 1930s and 1940s England and Wales, all > of which have never before been available online > > Facts and figures comparing average ages, occupations and popular names > in your area compared to the rest of the country > > > Which appears to me to be padding out the record set to justify the price > > Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)

That is extremely disappointing to hear, but thanks very much for the heads up. I have so many people in my tree that I'd be interested to find out about that it makes it a very expensive option to take up.  I wonder what "wealth of additional information" actually means?

FindMyPast have just announced that the 1939 Register will be available on-line from 2nd November. I had assumed that as a subscriber to FindMyPast the Register would be available as part of the package I pay for by annual subscription. WRONG! I can’t have read the small print. FindMyPast say that: “Records will be available to purchase for £6.95 per household or £24.95 for our 5 household bundle (£4.99 per household). As an early 1939 signup, we will send you an exclusive code soon which will entitle you to 10% off our 5 household bundle.” When asked if these charges apply to those who are currently subscribed FindMyPast said: “Because of the amount of work involved, and wealth of additional information we’re providing around the records, we’re unable to include the 1939 Register in our users’ subscriptions.” David Railton

Funny how ancestry can keep adding records without additional charges. I'm sure it takes just as much work for them to provide their information.

Unfortunately, even if currently subscribed to FindMyPast this extra charge will be the only way to access this new Register...for the present time. For any of us in Australia the cost of accessing this new record in $A is:: "For the first time ever online, the 1939 Register (including names, addresses, occupations, marital statuses and more) will be available for you to explore on Findmypast in just a few days' time. Records will be available to purchase for $13.50 per household, or $48.50 for our 5 household bundle ($9.70 per household). Findmypast subscribers will be entitled to a discount, which we will email you about." And in Euro: Records will be available to purchase for €9.50 per household or €33.50 for our 5 household bundle (€6.70 per household) less special discount.

Thank you so much. You are the fount of all knowledge as usual. The newspaper page was fascinating. The very fact that a Reading paper was covering it in some detail indicates how concerned the 'establishment' was about the movement. I will research it further now I know.

A meeting of the Atlantic Conference has been held in Liverpool, but nothing of a definite character was resolved upon which would lead to the settlement of the points in dispute between the companies. A correspondent states that great efforts are being made to come to an arrangement, and the prospect of an end being put to the present disastrous competition at low rates is certainly a little more hopeful than it was a month ago. _________________________ FORTY EMIGRANTS, composed principally of women and children, have left the locked-out district in Cambridge for Liverpool, en route for Canada, and according to the emigration agents, this makes a total of 800 persons during the present year, who have been induced to leave the district. On the other hand, it is reported that several emigrants who have been out to Canada have come back again. _______________________________________________________ barb, ontario, canada.
