Find My Past Free Access Weekend

You’re welcome, Steve. I found my great grandfather by the way and know so much more about him now, including seven days Field Punishment No.2 for not complying with an order...oh the shame

Happy hunting with the 1939 Register! (Browser permitting)

Thanks Martin - funny you should mention disobeying orders as, only this morning, I was reading how someone did so to survive the Piper Alpha disaster - but we digress.

I should also take this opportunity, though, to correct my broad misreading of Ancestry's warning as not yet actually dissing IE11.

 

Just read the Piper Alpha story from your link, thanks for that. Boy, did he make the right decision! But we digress as you say.

Not sure you meant to post that again Steve

 

I did so because my original copy had been taken down earlier this morning and, by the time it was 'magically reinstated', this daft new forum software wouldn't then let me simply delete my dot-joining repost meant to explain your thus-orphaned reaction to it to later readers.

It seems, because the non-political Piper Alpha incident was cited in a supposedly-political thread, one of our admins overreacted to misapply this forum's illogical and poorly-disseminated anti-political censorship rule.
