Thanks Victoria & Rootsgatherer for the dates

All i need to do now is remember lolol

Sorry, I don't know much about football - in fact it could all be written on the back of a postage stamp! I thought they had to play all the other teams in their group and then the highest up team went through to the next round. Perhaps someone who knows the format can tell us if it is a straight knockout competition?

well you will at least get 3 x 90 mins of free access for these 3 group games.

then the further we get in the competition the more free time you will get. If hhey get to the final..............hmmm then you will get seven free lots of 90 mins

any help?

Talanya - I just thought that everyone KNEW that England were going to do an action replay of 1966!

If it means more free access, I might even see if I can find an English flag to fly myself! Wonder if a Union Jack would do!

Just looked at FMP looks like it will be 3 x 3hours -
see quote from web page ::
" 30 minutes before kick-off we'll stop charging for 3 hours, which should give you plenty of time to explore what we have to offer.

* To get ready, make sure you've registered as you'll need to sign in to view the records. If you need help, take a look at our handy Getting Started guide and our video tutorials."

Does this include 1911 not that I want it anyway?

yes it includes 1911

I am quoting from their web page again -

When England play, you don't pay!

*All records available using our Full subscription (including the 1911 Census) will be free: Living Relatives searches and Memorial scrolls are not included

Just hope it includes existing members - we shall see

Irene

So if you subscribe like myself to just the 1911, you should be able to view the rest for those few hours?

Whilst I applaud the site for giving 'free time'to everyone, and I DO hope they enjoy the benefits !!, I feel that we who have paid for subscription are missing out.

I, for one, will be sending them an e-mail about what 'we' can have in recompence'

Best of luck to anybody who can manage to get anything from the 1911 census from
Findmy past.........it's been rubbish since the freebie started at 7pm...should have guessed it couldn't cope

I thought that might happen - haven' tried myself - all the more reason for 'subscribers' to ask for recompence!!! ???

I have not got a sub with find my past but i do buy credits for the 1911 census. I have a world sub on ancestry. I get mad when ancestry give away when i have paid in full.I make you right in complaining.I went on find my past tonight on the 1911 census.I still have credit but it came up it would cost me 10 credits or 30? Annie

Thank you for your support Grannie 11

OOhh errhhh -have you had your message 11th grannie ??

I just put in my message and addressed it to 'Grannie' but something somewhere put in the '11'

Is this a 'secret mesage' -? to say the 11th has arrived??

OR, should I just ignore it - ??
