This arrived in my inbox today:
- "Explore more free records than ever before until 14 November
- "Dear Robin,
- "This Remembrance weekend, Findmypast is offering free access to more records than ever before.
- "Discover the military heroes in your family in the largest collection of British Army records anywhere online. Or trace their stories from cradle to grave, with billions of detail-rich family records. ..."
That's rather misleading. It's not just the soldiers' family records. It's almost everything. Website says this:
- "Almost all of Findmypast’s records and newspapers are free to access. The 1921 Census of England and Wales is not included."
Registering with Findmypast is free. It is a great source for UK ancestry. I've gained much from it even outside the short "free records" periods.
