ABE - I've Changed my Mind!

Despite having said that I was going to support A B E on the Wales Home site, I have changed my mind.

Apart from Welsh politics my other delight is family history, which can be an expensive business when one has to pay for access to family history sites such as Find My Past.

Find my Past has pay to view family history records that include all the England and Wales Census records from 1841 to 1911, an index of Birth Marriage and Death indices from 1837 t0 2006 and many more records.

During the World Cup Find my Past has a bargain for those who do not want to watch the footy:

If you're not football mad, there is something else to do during the World Cup – make it your goal to research your family history.

You can view all the records on findmypast for free during every England World Cup match – all you need to do is register.

How it works:

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


England will play on / at
12/06 19:30 BST
18/06 19:30 BST
23/06 15:00 BST

South Africa is currently in Winter and working on GMT so add an hour for international world clocks based on GMT.

Of course if England succeeds to progress beyond the first stage there will be even more free time available on Find My Past, another four games / 12 hours if they go through to the final or the 3rd place play offs!

So come on Eng-earl-and!!!

  1. Excellent.
    Are the 1911 resources still as frustrating to use as they were when first made available?
