Rather annoyingly, these are indexes only, with the images available on a separate subscription website, Fold3.com - despite not being listed as third party indexes on Ancestry.

It is worrying that Ancestry is trying to get its users to get a subscription to an unnecessary second site (which they own). Lets hope they do not start rolling this out to more than just a few military records.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realised that Fold3 was an Ancestry site. I found an Ancestry blog from 2013 with comments criticising this policy of sending researchers to another pay site from the Ancestry indexes. Very disappointing having paid for a full world subscription, but they don't seem to want to change this policy.
ReplyDeleteIf they think I'm buying a subs to Fold3, they can think again. Why would I want to pay for loads of stuff about US Servicemen?
ReplyDeleteWhat you need to do is a bit of research first. Of the stuff above, the Army Lists are free in Archive.com (using the copies from NLS) and the 1918 RAF Muster Roll is on FindMyPast.
Thanks to IanBee on the WDYTYA Forum, I also know that Ancestry have just added some WO116 stuff "UK, Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Admissions and Discharges, 1715-1925" under similar restrictions - images only on Fold3. However, I did a bit of double checking and *some* of WO116 is a/v for download through TNA Discovery, albeit in a right mix. Some isn't digitised at all there, some is digitised and a/v for free and some is digitised and needs to be paid for.
