FamilySearch ebooks won't download

Brian - still much quicker (and cheaper) than
going to the archives library
buying it on eBay
visiting the British Library or Salt Lake City

What could have prevented you/anybody downloading the files also is 'the connection timing out'?
[I am thinking that if no data is read within a given time period, the connection stops]

some ebooks (using Chrome) didn't load for me, then I discovered that they had not had their cert's passed by Microsoft or maybe google?  In the address bar on the far right hand side there is an extra symbol which if you click on it, you can say "accept".  The document will then load.

Most of the ebooks took about 30 secs to download

Sorry my post was so useless earlier. I had a feeling it would be.

 However, I haven't found the books on familysearch before and since I have a lot of ancestors from Northumberland and Durham please can you tell me what the advantage of these books is? Are any of them Parish Records?

I can't seem to download them either but I do spend time trawling through the images on familysearch and so am intrigued by these books.

You're welcome Gaie

Sorry Hampshire Lass, your post wasn't useless at all, many who have never used FS databases would find it helpful.

It's just this thread is about FS making available the digitallly scanned books and some parish records for download, which makes it so much easier to look through without causing access havock for FS.  Its certainly worth having a good rummage through and see what you can find.

Thanks jc26red I will have a rummage. I did find one which may have been useful but something went wrong when I went to view it, so I'll read and digest the posts on this thread and perhaps that will solve things for me.

Hampshire Lass: After clicking onto the link, input your search term then see what is available.
Once you have decided which book interests you click onto the icon to the right of printer icon. Download icon is square box with a downward arrow, when download complete (in my case I have an option to save/read using Adobe Reader). (simple)
