Emms, Thanks for the tip about right clicking, that's worked.  At least now I have the document I can work on it.

Hi Lizzie

Really glad you finally got your document!  Isn't it annoying when you're almost theree and can't get there. 

Earlier on, I found two databases with biographies for my gggrandfather, but one wanted £5 by pay b
per view, and the other didn't say what it cost. 

Neither  had a free trial or even an example.  Spo I don't even know if either was more than one line!

The Gale's great on a free trial, and at least if some day that ends, and I can afford it, I'll know what to expect and what a wealth of info is on there. and have an idea of the coverage.

Maybe some of the libraries will take up things like this as they have Ancestry.

Best wishes

Sorry! Now received e-mail!

First your e-mail address, then the log in is virtual and the password books.  It seems to be the same for everyone.  If that doesn't work, just re-register, I did and that was fine.  I didn't get a message saying I was already registered or anything.

Hi Olly

That's brilliant!

I hope the downloading goes okay!

I've actually started right click and copy and pasting the imege and also the publication and date etc into a Word Processing document.  then I can soon narrow down what I want, and I've just got one for each subject.

Good luck whichever way you choose.

Gale is a great resource, and it should (as it's in part a British Library project from what I recall) be open access, at least to UK residents.  I think you can access it for free at the British Library.

But - and I'm going to be a killjoy here - I really don't think we should be handing out passwords on a public forum.  It's the sort of thing that's likely to point out to the site's owners that access is being abused and precipitate them taking the whole thing down, tightening it up, or making it chargeable.

Sorry to lecture.  But it's a privilege that we're being allowed to access these resources free of charge, and if they set some registration procedures, then I think we should follow them.  Compare this to how much is charged by other companies, who've digitised other texts.
