Brad, The "supporting organisations" are FMP, Ancestry and the likes and the link does not seem to work even if you have a subscription. However, in addition, the LDS have made available images of microfilms, made by LDS, themselves, and that form the backbone of most record office reading rooms. Most have not been indexed or added to Familysearch but some have been linked to the index. In the US they have links to public image databases. For Devon BTS go to https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https://familysearch.org/rec api/sord/collection/2515875/waypoints as an example select 005883389 for Charles Plymouth. This is where it may ask you to register or sign in and in the top right corner will show a button labelled "Free Account". It is free and does not commit you to membership of the church. Church members have their own accounts which includes "supporting organisations". Durham is another set of unlinked BTs but some Derbyshire and Warwickshire index entries are linked to LDS owned images with the agreement of the records office. Devon seem to be mixed (or a work in progress). 005883162, St Andrew Plymouth, is an example of a film linked to Familysearch index. On some images, including Devon, download and/or print is blocked. Presumably because Devon CC has also sold them to FMP. Hopefully my previous mail explained how to associate places with film numbers and, as I said, the site seems to prefer Internet Explorer.
