« on: Wednesday 08 November 17 08:15 GMT (UK) »
Probably much expected, but here's the details

FOLD3 FREE ACCESS – STARTS THIS FRIDAY*

Starting on Friday, you can make sure your family never forgets who fought and died for their country with free access to the Commonwealth collection on our sister site Fold3.   

and here's the T&Cs

*Access to the records in the featured collections will start on 10 November and be free until 13 November, 2017 at 23:59 BST. To view these records you will need to register for free with Fold3.com with your email address. We will then send you a username and password to access the records. After the free access period ends, you will only be able to view the records in the featured collections using an Ancestry.co.uk paid All Access membership.



Note that it doesn't say that Ancestry Military records are free for the weekend

I will be registering for this.

I will continue to loathe Ancestry for quietly forking off some previously included data to a new site.

Anyone know a way to see ONLY fold3 related hints in your Ancestry tree?

I certainly can't (practically) redo all my searches on the off-chance.
