There is someone else posting on their FB page with a similar issue, so why not?

I know you found some 'famous' living people on the database. Maybe we could find more and hit them (FMP) with a new name every week?!!

I was thinking more of every day! Though the ones I found at the weekend don't show as "New" any more so not quite so easy now to prove that it is the latest update which has opened any more such records that we find.

Only because they have done nothing about it the last three times have contacted them ("thank you for your patience" lol) so I thought they would be even less likely to do anything if they have a different bigger problem to look at!

Good point.

Where did the 'New' show up? I looked at several records last week (last Thursday or before that) that were definitely not two months ago, but I didn't see anything saying New.

Oh, is this to do with it?

Filter
Added in the last 30 days (0) NEW

I don't have the tick box ticked, so I presume that's why I didn't see anything saying New.

I just did a look up from last Thursday again and ticked that box. The person I looked for and 19 of the others (of 46 original matches) now say New next to them. When did they do the 2million release? It wasn't as much as 30 days ago was it?

kiterunner · #35 21-11-16, 09:29

Oh right, thanks. Maybe it is just not showing "New" for ones I have already looked at, or I didn't have the box ticked (I am on a different computer from the one I used at the weekend). I'll try again.

Michael Heseltine and Dennis Skinner are no longer showing. Presumably they have closed the other one you mentioned on FB too, but I've forgotten who that was!

I'll PM you, Merry. Glad to hear they are doing something, but hopefully they are not only closing records that people have contacted them about.

kiterunner · #38 21-11-16, 09:45

My relative's record is still open. Maybe they're only bothered about politicians' records?

kiterunner · #39 21-11-16, 09:53

Merry, where did you find the box to tick to make it show "New", please?

They are really pushing it with their new post on FB, "What amazing discoveries have you made in the 1939 Register?"
Tempted to post that I discovered that loads of people were dead who everybody thought were still alive, lol.
