BT Phone Books on Ancestry
« on: Wednesday 10 January 18 16:37 GMT (UK) »
Anyone else having trouble with these? It doesn't matter which name I put in it always tells me noone of that name. I've tried with my own name where I know I was in the phone book but nothing!

It's the repeat/continuation of a problem they admit to.

This has been discussed before, but Ancestry don't seem to have fixed it.  I found the only way was to browse individual directories.  :o
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
