  • FREE ACCESS AT FOLD3 (some of it)

    Bring their story home

    This Remembrance Day marks the centenary of the end of WWI. ‘The war to end all wars’ touched everyone’s lives, from soldiers on the battlefield to families on the home front.

    Starting this Thursday, we’re inviting you to explore your family’s WWI story in detail, with free access to the Commonwealth collection on Fold3. Explore Fold3’s specialist military records in addition to Ancestry’s wartime records: everything you need to uncover your relatives’ stories on the battlefield and beyond.

    *Access to the records in the featured collections will be free from 8 November 2018 to 12 November 2018 at 23:59 GMT.
    After the free access period ends, you will only be able to view the records in the featured collections using an Ancestry All Access paid membership.

    I realise this is a bone of great contention, but at least we can have a look at some of the records .... don't forget that you will need to download them to your PC for future access unless you have paid for Fold3.

      Aaargh! I'll be so busy bell ringing I won't have time to do this justice. Yep .... practicing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Ringing at 9am, 12.30pm and 7.05pm on Sunday 11th. Maybe I'll get a chance on Monday 12th ... must make myself a big note so as not to miss it.

          Thank you for this. Hopefully, I'll be able to access Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner records from the 1812 war. There are several records for my 2x great grandfather listed that I'd like to have.
