To take advantage of the free access period, you'll need to have a registered account with FindMyPast.com and sign into that account. Registration is straightforward and doesn't require you to provide any more detail than your name, email address and country of residence. No financial information is requested.

The free access will continue until 11:59pm EST on Wednesday 6 July (this'll be 04:59am on Thursday 7 July in Dublin/London).

This offer is available only via FindMyPast.com.

A separate offer of free access to all FindMyPast's Military records plus Irish and UK censuses is available at FindMyPast.co.uk, FindMyPast.ie, and FindMyPast.com.au (see blogpost).
