FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk) is offering a month's access to its Britain or World subscription for just £1, if you subscribe before 23.59 GMT on Saturday 31 December 2016.


Please note the following in the Terms and Conditions detailed at www.findmypast.co.uk/seasonal-offer:

After the initial 30 day period, your subscription will be automatically renewed at the normal price unless you un-tick the ‘auto-renew my subscription’ box in the My Account section of the site.

If you do not do this, you will have your subscription renewed. To untick the box, go to My Account, then Personal Details. You will see the following when you scroll to the bottom:



Untick the Auto-renew my subscription box and then click on Update details. You will be asked if you really wish to disable the auto-renew - select the option allowing you to do so, and you should now be sorted. To double check, come out of the My Account section, go back in as before, and look to see if the box is unticked when you go in once again - it should now be. If not, please don't shoot this messenger - contact FindmyPast instead for assistance at support@findmypast.co.uk or 020 33266300.
