It looks as if it's only England and Wales I'm afraid. |

It seems it will cost £6.95 per household or £24.95 for a bundle of 5 households. |

I'm very disappointed. I had assumed (and I know you should never assume anything) that these records would be included in the subscription. |

It's extra? Oh, that's a shame. Wait a year and it'll probably be included in a sub. |

I feel the same Joan. I know where my family were in 1939 so I don't think it would be worth spending that amount of money just to see the documents. |

There are a lot of very unhappy people posting on the FMP site this morning about the cost, customer services will be busy !! |

I'd missed the bit about prices - it is sooo far down the email. :-| |

FMP "exclusive" right is limited so they will be trying to get as much money as possible !! |

it's not very limited if this post on FB is correct ? "According to tender document the contract is for 10 years from 2014, with option to extend for 5 years.". |

and how in any case are they going to match a death cert for someone with a common name to the entry in 1939? It presumes the birth date on the death cert will match (I assume)...but we know that is often not the case. :-S |

I too had assumed 1939 register would be included in the subscription on FindMyPast. It's the first time an additional fee has been mentioned, yet I have been receiving regular blogs from them about it. |

I've been reading the comments on the FMP website and found this quote from FMP :"Just to let you know, unlocking a record doesn't just grant you access to the record, it also provides a bank of fascinating content, including data, maps, articles, photographs and more" |
