No, this doesn't mean I have my laptop sorted and it's printing off some hot news on the family tree, but it's just as exciting!!
Ancestry are starting to upload the WW1 Service Records.
In 1940, during WW2, a German bomb hit the War Office repository in Arnside Street, London; destroying over half of the WW1 service records stored there. Many of the records which survived were damaged by fire and water and are located in series WO 363 at The National Archives. These were microfilmed by TNA as part of a conservation project.
Ancestry are now making these available through their website, starting with surnames A-C.
www.ancestry.co.uk
In my opinion this website is well worth the subscription, especially good as a starting point for researching your tree.
Enjoy!!!
ps Still awaiting confirmation from PC World/The Tech Guys/Coverplan, who appear to each in turn "not deal with this" but it looks good for receiving vouchers to replace the now lost laptop.
