Help please!
Can anybody tell me if their local library service offers access on their pcs to Find My Past and has anything gone wrong in the last couple of weeks?
My library service doesn't subscribe to FMP but previously anyone who had a sub or credits could log in to www.findmypast.co.uk and use the site from the library's public network pcs.
2 weeks ago things changed and now that link takes you to the Schools Project version which offers free access to 1911 census to all schools in England and Wales. It does this by the local authority providing them with the relevant blocks of valid IP addresses. This is the only version available to me in the library now, even if I bring my own laptop and hook up to the library wi-fi. Even more galling is the fact that my library service is in Scotland!
If your library service does have an FMP sub, do you know if your children or grandchildren have got the free 1911 census project version in their schools and are the two versions working happily side by side in your local authority?
