New 50% Off Code Findmypast Annual Membership

[Cell]

the new system introduced in 2014 has left searching difficult for many.

I do see quite a lot more newspaper records seem to be available on FindMyPast, is this correct?

Hi,
Ancestry do not have access to British newspapers online, (I've been a subscriber to Ancestry for years , and have been a FindMyPast subscriber too )  As you are in Australia - you do not need to pay for an expensive sub to access some of these papers. If you are not aware of it, you can join the Australian National Library ( it's free) - they will send you a card with a pin on it to  access their eResources, you can then access the British papers for free in your own home.

Cheers Cell 

Always good to know of another way

I did see on FindMyPast that South Australian Electoral records are available. As a lazy person from way back that suits my needs. Though a train trip into town on Saturday before the Crows win would be an easier way to look at the electoral books in the State Library

And that's why 50% off attracts me

I couldn't get the 50% code to work, but found another £1 monthly sub code which did, so I am pleased.

Hi,
free is better   If it is  the old British newspapers that you are interested in , you should really be using the resources that  the National Library gives  free to all people here, whilst many people in other countries either have to pay subs for, or sit in a library that has the access to exactly the same newspapers.

In some parts of the UK you can use your county library access to these papers from home. My library gives me access to The Times & C19th century newspapers in the comfort of my own home

Hi,
I have heard that hence my  "many" and not all.
In Australia, it's for all, no matter where you live in Aus . It's a simple matter of filling in the online form at the National Library  ( just want your name and address etc) .They will send you a National library card  in the post with a pin number on it, and you can access their  eResources.

The National Library have  some wonderful free resources  , and yet  many Aus users still don't know about some of these resources that they can access for free, and will pay companies  for these records.
Kind Regards

So it should be    Distances from home to a nearest library in Australia often can't be compared with the UK
