also FMP are offering free access to military records.

Now I am sure there was someone I wanted to look up on Fold 3 and can't remember...or where I noted it!

Me too. Must try to figure out who it was in fold3

When I come across a record I want that is in Fold3, I put it in my shoebox for the next time there is a free weekend. Some years there are a lot more than others!

What a good idea! I always forget those I thought might be worth a look. So much so that I don't even bother with the free access as I would waste too much time searching for needles in haystacks. I will give that a go in future!

It is true to say, though, that FMP often has the Fold3 records available on my current membership. It's always worth checking if Ancestry directs your search to Fold3.

ozgirl Great tip. Thank you.

now why didn't I think of that, great idea. Just checked and have a load of rubbish in there, along with some stuff I had added for when I got WW - and have had that for a couple of years - what a numpty!
