I am just grateful that we are able to access these records free of charge even though it does take some working out. Familysearch are prone to removing records from those we can access though so always worth making the most of them while you can.
Hear hear Rosie!
Living on the other side of the world, even before Covid restrictions, it was not possible to visit Record Offices to look through registers, documents, etc which have yet to find their way onto any website to be able to view them. Many times I have found they would be on familysearch if I delved into the catalogue deep enough.
Just the other day I found mention of some wills I was interested in at Nottingham which seemed only viewable at Nottingham Archives. Heaven knows a) when they would be open again; b) when they would get round to answering queries; and C) how much that would cost me for the copying of several wills.
After a lot of digging on familysearch (no such easy thing like just entering 'Nottingham wills'!), and having to trawl through many films to first find the year, and then the person, I finally managed to find all but one, as that film is not yet digitised. Took me some time, but how fantastic!
I did notice there are still many, many films not yet digitised.
I thought they told us the plan was to have them all digitised by 2020? (pre-Covid then).
I guess they're working on it, but will have been set back like everything else this year.
