Ancestry Hint

Some of you old hands probably do this anyway but it occurred to me to try just entering the town name in the search and see what happened. I tried aberfeldy and got 3 of the service records am after.

In this example if say MALDON were to type in 'maldon' in the search, he would come up with quite a few pages of Maldon men. eg two Boreham's possible relations of George Boreham?

if yr ancestor has an unusual set of christian names you can enter that by itself and then trawl the results

- but dont enter tom, dick or harry. In other words just about anything goes

Another suggestion - by putting - Maldon in as a keyword - it brings up birthplace Maldon as well as Maldon in the address so you get a few more.

I wish they would get on and add the rest of the surviving service records!

Upload the required number to make it look good, collect subscriptions & then take your time with the rest. The benefit is twofold, all interested parties will continue to pay in anticipation of more; cost of scanning etc spread over the budgets of multiple years.

.... and Ancestry are not alone, Findmypast have only 13 counties of the 1901 census complete...... but now started working on the 1911 census, and they wonder why I am angered by this!
