Yes Bron and Pam. I have given up trying to gain access during Australian day time. Usually get that proxy error. Suggest you try later when they are up  ;) It should work then...........Kris  :D

Just to let you know that I joined the library yesterday on Sunday evening 3 June 2007 (Australian time) with no problems whatsoever. I've already spent 2 hours searching the old Times newspaper, and found quite a few "hits" revealing new family information.

I noticed a few postings back on this thread, another Rootschatter from West Australia also joined, so hopefully, today's recent problem is only a temporary glitch.

To the Rootschatter who first posted the information about the library, I thank you - its a great asset for researchers.

Regards

You're welcome Les. :)

It is an amazing resource with lots of fascinating side-tracks. I can spend hours getting nowhere and still feel the time not wasted.

I too use Bracknell library access, I work in Bracknell.

My local lobrary in Surrey does not allow remote access, only available from a Central librayr in Guildford, which is little use to me

Paul,

I must thank you very much for this link and your excellent easy to follow instructions.

I have just, a few minutes ago, joined the Beds Online Library (from Australia) and I am hooked already. Don't think I'll be getting much work done today.

I especially love the way the page can be viewed and the words you are searching are highlighted.

Many thanks.
