Fingers crossed that it does mean all members, so you can see the collection for free as long as you've got an account.
Although I suppose that by the time somebody has found our #OnePlaceStudies , they're already deep into research & likely already have a sub to FMP.
#genealogy #OnePlaceStudies We can tag things and leave notes in our My Records on findmypast, but can we *do* anything with them? I don't know. I like that My Records exists, but it could be so much better.
I need to get all my newspaper stuff into Clooz to really organize things, but having a public collection means you can point other people to it. This is excellent news.
Now if fmp would only let us export our My Records into a *.csv file, that would be really cool. #genealogy #OnePlaceStudies
It's great! Could do with more tags, some kind of indexing, but it's a good start. You could add surnames etc in the file name, I've just left them as the newspaper details for now. Lots of possibilities... #OnePlaceStudies #Genealogy
