Technical Help / Downloading Army Info using Ancestry/Library edition?
« on: Wednesday 04 September 13 11:28 BST (UK) »
My current access to ancestry is in my local library.
My trusty memory stick has been shuttling information (and parish records, and census forms) home for a few weeks now.
"Save to my computer" is my friend.
But I recently hit a problem. I was trying to save a (heavily degraded) army service record.
The main API said "cannot ., since it hasn't been indexed" (or something similar)
So I went to the browse view and used "right click, save image" in IE.
But the document browser is evidently using an Ajax tiled technique, since all I got was small image tiles or varying sizes, showing only part of the document on the (temp) Z:drive.
So - how do I save the army image files for later use and my archive?
