The index on Ancestry has been updated again and it now says over 6.5 million records. And Fold3 says over 4.6 million records, 55% complete. Doesn't quite fit if it was 54% complete last time!
Ooh, there are some records for my great-uncle at last! They only come up on Fold3, not Ancestry, so it seems the index on Ancestry isn't as up-to-date as the one on Fold3, despite the higher number of records. I guess Ancestry is counting the name of each relative of a soldier as a separate record and Fold3 isn't?
Unfortunately Fold3 is saying I need a premium membership to view the images, so I will wait until they have a free weekend or whatever. Maybe they will make the records free for Remembrance Day very soon?
