Tried going to fold3 via Google but, when I investigate the 7 day free trial it immediately links to my Ancestry account... presumably through my IP address as, at that stage I hadn't entered an email address.
After giving it some thought I went to TNA website and have asked them to do an initial page search for me as I have all the details they need for that. I will then buy a copy from them. I know I could get a free trial of fold3 through Ancestry but I am prepared to cut off my nose to spite my face here on a matter of principle. I would rather pay a small amount to our own National Archives because I think it is so wrong of Ancestry to charge what is not a small amount for what is advertised as premium access membership and then suddenly move the goalposts by hiding records behind another pay wall.
