I sent an email when my first trial ran out - never got a response.
Might try the OH's addy instead    as they seem to want people with 'proper jobs'

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

Ive just discovered this site and the line to Gale, I can get in with those details, keeps saying my email does not belong to an institution. Any tips ? I am tying to trace my irish family who settled in Liverpool, am certain the Gale may give me some more help!

Thanx

Hi, welcome to Rootschat! 

I suspect that since Lizzie posted that message, Gale have tightened up their 'free trial' access. I had a very long 'free trial' of several weeks but now cannot log in at all as myself. Now I get in through the Lancashire Library website.

Gale intend the archive to be accessed through libraries, colleges etc. You can get free access if your local library (or county library network) subscribe to Gale.

Anyone with a Lancashire Library membership card can access Gale at
   http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/onrl/

then click on one of the Newspaper links in the right hand  column.  You then have to enter the numbers from your library card barcode - and that's it! You're in, completely free.

You can join the library online, it says ANYONE can join, but that may mean, anyone that lives in Lancashire. 

hope this helps!

Hi

My free trial stopped too and no reply to email.  I suspect they were inundated.

I think the library use must be spreading though, and there's no harm suggeting it if yours don't.  Ours (Cumbria) I'm told have got it too.  Just going to check it out this week!

I hope you get to use it.

Best wishes
