Dear list, I gave Jill some information about Kalabargo that I had found using "The Times" newspaper archives. Here is the website that I found it on. It is a free trial at the moment, but I don't know how long for. http://trials.gale.com/pubacd/ > >When you get to the Login Page, enter the following: > > User: pubacd17 > Password: durable > > Note that the User ends in 17 (seventeen) and not l7 > click on biography- genealogy click on database in the ancestryplus There is alot of information, such as 1871 and 1891 census You can also view newspaper articles. Here is the information you will need if your computer won't let you get into it. > >This website, as with all of the Thomson Gale trials, can be a little >tricky to get into, but I think I've now solved all of the problems. > >There are 2 possible problems. The first is that your web browser >(e.g. Internet Explorer) is not allowing access because of your >"cookie" restrictions, and the other is that you have a firewall. > >Before you start, you need to fix-up your web browser, so that it >won't stop any cookies that Thomson Gale (and their third-parties) >want to put on your computer. I only know how to do this with >Internet Explorer, so if you are using another browser, you will have >to do whatever that program requires. > >>From IE6: > Tools > Internet Options > Privacy Tab > > Against "Web Sites", click the "Edit" button > > Then, in the box provided, type in the following URLs and click > "Allow" for each one: > > ancestry.com > gale.com > galegroup.com > > Then click on "OK" until you get out. > >OK - that's fixed up IE, now you need to disable your firewall, or >Norton Internet Security, until you get into the database you want - >you can then turn it back on again, although you will have to disable >it each time you want to access a new database. I find it easier to >leave it disabled until I have finished with the site. > >Once you have done all of the above, to enter the website, go to URL: > > http://trials.gale.com/pubacd/ > >When you get to the Login Page, enter the following: > > User: pubacd17 > Password: durable > > Note that the User ends in 17 (seventeen) and not l7 > > >You may still have problems getting in from time to time, possibly >because of overload of their server. If so, just leave it a while >and try again. I can assure you that it's well worth the effort. > >Just a little bit extra about getting into this website. > >The first next page you get is: > Gale's Public and Academic Database Trial > >For the main Genealogy pages, click on (3) "Biography - Genealogy" > >Then, on the next page, click on (2) "AncestryPlus" > >This will take you to the "INFOTRAC Trial Site" page - don't worry >about that - just click on "Proceed". Sometimes, it seems to miss >this page - I have no idea why. > >You should now be on the AncestryPlus main page. There are thousands >of things to choose from on this site, but the most important for us >are the "U.K. & Ireland Records" - you will find this about halfway >down on the right hand side of the page, next to the globe icon and >under the heading "Search by Location". > >Click on "U.K. & Ireland Records" - and you have hundreds of choices. > >Lastly - a most important footnote. > >Every time you are about to try to get into this website, make sure >that you have your Firewall or Norton Internet Security disabled, or >it won't let you in - as I just discovered the hard way - I've been >on there since yesterday and have only just re-booted and, of course, >by then had forgotten everything I've just told you (above) !!!!! > >Apparently, this Trial is available until the end of September, but >of course, they could decide to take it down at any time, especially >if they get too many hits. So, my advice would be to get in there >quickly and download everything that you want while it's free. > Hope you can all find something useful on the site.
