Title: Help needed accessing free Fold3 records
Post by: deejayEn on Saturday 08 November 25 23:15 GMT (UK)
As I previously tried using Fold3 as a free trial I got a message today saying that access to WWI and WWII records was free until 16 Nov. However after logging in and searching I found a WWII medal record and I was unable to see it. Has anyone got any advice on how to see the records or is it a con to get you to sign up?

You need to read the small print.
Free access to the featured collections seems to be limited to certain USA forces records only!

Couldn't see no small print, certainly not in the email or on the page I was directed to. What a shame.
