ERO going Pay-to-Browse for online PRs etc

[findem]

Hi,

Boy was I lucky!  I went on to SEAX yesterday afternoon (Aussie time) to carry out rechecks in the Terling and Fairstead online PRs and they were still free to view    . 

Being only the 5th of November I thought I might do some more today and found they are no longer free  so I'll wait now until the later years come online, looking forward to the Non Com coming online sometime.

Regards

I shall have a try at viewing them today.

Hi all,

Think I may have found a way to "get into" the Parish Registers.  Works for me, and I hope for everyone who has bought a subscription.

Instead of going through the "Essex Ancestors" search, do a search on the ordinary Seax screen.

I typed in "Barling baptism", and the list came up with various registers and dates.  When you click on the little icon, you get the parish registers page - but this time it worked!!

Hope I haven't spoken too soon .....

I looked this morning for 2 of my parishes Woodham Walter and Boreham. The transcripts they had digitised did not seem to be new as I had searched them previously. I really needed different dates. Have they just put the same registers on line that were there before for free???If so Im not over happy. Family Search has  just put loads of Essex parishes on line  for free but of course you dont see the transcript.
I think having waited so long I will be patient and see if my villages do get on.

What dates are you wanting Ringrose?

I've just looked at the main Seax search site and they have baptisms ranging from 1563 to 1863, with viewable images.

Any suggestions??

I used to use it as a guest, but registered today, received my email link but after activating i still can't log in. Is there a period that i have to wait after activation, hope not as my money is burning a hole in my pocket and i'm chomping at the bit to get to the Brightlingsea PRs.

wll it seems that the clever people at the ERO have made a complete mess of this launch with seasoned users of the old web site unable to access the site and it would seem very little in the way of how to use the new site,its a shame as lots of people have been waiting from all over the world to get access,me well I will go along to the ERO in person I enjoy the day out.
