FamilySearch ebooks won't download

Sounds like a Dropbox or equivalent jobby, Brian.

Hi,   I might be misunderstanding what it is you want to do here but have you tried accessing the Longhaughton Parish Records on Familysearch this way?

The file is now sitting in my dropbox public box.
[Now what!, never used before]- cancel that message.
Just sent a personal message with a link to my dropbox folder.

Dropbox has it! Many thanks, it's now saved in my "Dowloaded genealogy books" file:-) That is the exact book that is in the Northumberland Archives reference library..... still pondering how Brian can do it but not Gaie or Gen

HL - those are the Bishop's Transcripts, very tedious to navigate although MUCH better than nothing sometimes!

Gen: Regarding your earlier supplied link for the Northumberland records, just had a look at what is held under the 'Yorkshire' heading.
Quite a few good evenings reading matter to look at.

Oh this looks like my "winter" reading is going to be quite full!

Thanks for the heads up on the ebooks

I found some indexes that would have taken me a very long time to sort through elsewhere!

hmmm... the ones that have a no entry icon can only be accessed in a familysearch center

I only started exploring FamilySearch more thoroughly recently. Up till then I'd mostly used it for the IGI and Bishop's Transcripts.

Is there any way that this huge resource of scanned ebooks can be "pinned" on a resource list by a Moderator? Seems a pity only those who stumble over it, get to use it. Or is it already up there?

A quick word of caution though, depending on the speed of the connecting link to your computer the time it takes to download a full document can take quite a long time.
Just downloaded a 400page document and with my download speed of 60Mb/sec it still took all of 4 minutes.
