Credit pricing changes on findmypast.co.uk

From 1 July 2010 we will be simplifying the pricing of our PayAsYouGo records. Currently there are over 10 different price bands for viewing records which can be quite confusing. From July we will have fewer price bands, grouped into multiples of 5 credits, for example, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.

In most cases the changes will result in a slight increase in credit prices, in some instances there will be a reduction, and some records will stay the same (for example, 1911 census and passenger lists).

Viewing a birth, marriage or death (BMD) result will cost 5 credits instead of 1, but thanks to the full indexing of the BMDs (more information on this coming soon), overall a BMD search will cost you less, as you will need to view far fewer records to find the one you want.

This is the first time we've increased the prices of our records since we launched them, apart from the slight increase in credits to view 1841-1901 census records in April. Our PAYG credits are more flexible than our competitors' offerings. A subscription offers even more flexibility - view your options on our subscriptions page.

A full breakdown of the price change is included below.
