This had a couple of mentions on the TTF just about lunch time, but I had already been sent this news earlier this morning from my 'American cousin' across the pond.

I just got the news by PM, and replied that I'd have to get old No.1 to send me the schedule.

I think I'll take your lead Amokavid, and not mention the reason. ;)

first match is tomorrow at 7.30 (I think) as it's 8.30 here. so log on to FMP at 7pm (half hour before match starts) for 3 hrs free.

Will this include the 1911 census? Or am i living in a dream world!
I asked my football fanatical son to give me a list of when England are playing, he said "Mum, your cool."....Yeah, right!!!

So, if I already have an account with them with no credits on at the moment will that become "active"? or do I need to open a new one?

Findmypast are allowing FREE access to the 1911 Census and ALL the other resources for which you'd normally need a subscription, but only while England are playing in the World Cup.



Their first game is on Saturday 12th June, and the free access will be for 3 hours from 7pm British Summer Time.



England's second game is on Friday 18th June, and the free access will again be for 3 hours from 7pm.



Unless England qualify for the next stages of the competition their last game will be on Wednesday 23rd June, and the free access will be for 3 hours from 2.30pm.
