>>> I am reading posts about the national registers with interest, but I am not pleased that private companies like FMP and Ancestry can get sole rights to them. I am an Ancestry Subscriber and Genes Reunited plus free site subscriber. I now see that if I want access to the Registers in full I will have to subscribe to FMP or go to the Natonal Archive to see them. Luckily, I live in London and can make the journey to Kew to see them. I just feel for other people studying family history who cannot access the information without paying! >> I don't think FMP have any more information from the Register than Ancestry can give Fiona
