Well done FindMyPast!

[BumbleB]

Just for a change I would like to compliment one of our search sites!

On 8 March, FindMyPast launched a new item - Women's Land Army records.  I did my usual and entered the surname of Archbell (a lot easier than Appleyard, Kendall or Milner).  One result - Doreen Archbell.  BUT whilst the transcript fitted, the image did not.  So I rang them to ask for a correction.  After the weekend I received a response, and all is now OK - correction made and 15 March able to see Doreen's card.

Thank you FindMyPast    (I have thanked them directly).

Nice to read that at least somebody is getting good reviews.

Yesterday BumbleB said -- BUT whilst the transcript fitted, the image did not.  So I rang them to ask for a correction.  After the weekend I received a response, and all is now OK - correction made and 15 March able to see Doreen's card.

This has happened to me two or three times when looking at military records -- each time FindMyPast have apologised and corrected the problem quickly. I have been with FindMyPast and Ancestry for 20+ years and I am seriously considering ditching Ancestry because of the past and current problems.

Scotland's People has the employment record cards for the Scottish Women's Land Army and the Timber Corps from 1939 -1950.

The index is free to search and shows name, date of birth, service branch and enrolment county/division. Records of women born less than 100 years ago are not available.

There is also a free guide to the records.

Ops, I have no connections at all to Scotland - but I hope that you (and everyone else) continue to benefit from the expansion of records available to us all.
