Hello,
With planned outages at
FamilySearch.org on Monday 27 June 2016 ...
For those who did not get the word;
FamilySearch.org will undergo a technical upgrade on
Monday, June 27, starting at 12:00 a.m. MDT (6:00 a.m. UTC). The site may be unavailable
for up to 24 hours as we test the system improvements.
May I suggest trying the following from the LostCousins Newsletter? See below.
AND the hidden gem of FREE access to their UK and Ireland census records next week!
Good Hunting!

65 million military records free at Findmypast STARTS MONDAY
In recognition of the importance of next week's commemoration, from Monday 27th June
until Monday 4th July all 65 million military records at Findmypast can be accessed free
via the following links:
Findmypast.co.uk
Findmypast.ie
Findmypast.com.au
You will need to register (or log-in, if you've registered previously), but you
certainly won't need to provide credit card details.
Findmypast are also offering free access to their UK and Ireland census records next week
- because it was taken just a few years earlier you'll probably find the 1911 Census
particularly useful (and remember, you can enter relatives from 1911 on your My Ancestors
page whether they were recorded in England, Wales, or Ireland).
Tip: 8 million of the military records you'll discover at Findmypast aren't
available at ANY other site - I found my grandfather's Great War service record which
I had previously assumed was amongst the 60% of WW1 records to have been destroyed in WW2,
because it wasn't in Ancestry's collection.
