Re: POW records

... Eh, isn’t that what I said? I never mentioned the rights to the data, just their film😀 Ah - you were more careful than I realised. ;) What led me astray was... then they [FamilySearch] block browsing access to registered users trying to access them .. because it's not FS that drives that blocki...

Re: POW records

You’ll find the same thing happens with FamilySearch films. If they ‘sell’ the rights to a film to the likes of FMP or Ancestry, then they block browsing access to registered users trying to access them You have it slightly wrong way round. FS don't own any rights to the intellectual property on th...

Re: POW records

... TNA don't care about researchers but make researchers pay for access to the records, shameful. I've said it before and I'll carry on saying it - those who want free access to historical data via websites never answer the question about how to pay the IT personnel who create and maintain the web...

I guess it's wait for 11 November and hope Fold3 (which is where the proper size image is) have a freeby.

Re: Fold3 - New UK Military Records (WW1)

I don't recognise those words as relating to anything I was looking at - except badly. ;) My guess would be that's a transcript somewhere that's gone pear-shaped with an over-enthusiastic translation of the Rif (from Sco Rif maybe?) to Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. It surely can't represent a correc...

Re: Fold3 - New UK Military Records (WW1)

NB - for the above, I was looking at the images in Ancestry, so any transcription errors for there, or on other sites, I won't have registered.

Re: Fold3 - New UK Military Records (WW1)

Hmm. I don't see a reference to RIF for Royal Iniskilling Fusiliers on either of his two Medal Index Cards . I've seen the one for his 1914 Star and another for his BWM & VM pair. Nor do the two Medal Rolls mention the Royal Iniskilling Fusiliers. So I'm not sure what's going on - am I missing s...

Re: Fold3 - New UK Military Records (WW1)

... Incidentally the all access sub includes a membership to newspapers.com BUT doesn't allow full access to the site Ooh err... :( I have a vague idea I read something about a further restriction but since I don't have a newspapers.com - or Fold3 - subs, I forgot what it was. Thanks for the warning.

Re: Fold3 - New UK Military Records (WW1)

I suggest you watch out around 11 November - Fold3 does seem to get the occasional free days, though normally restricted to specific topics. I've certainly picked up the odd WW1 Pension record. (That's the real Pension records - from the Western Front Association).
