Hello All, News from the Federation of Family History Societies "WELCOME TO THE 1901 CENSUS WEBSITE Test Site The 1901 Census Online service is currently running as a test site. During this period the service will be available 09.00 to 19.00 hours (GMT+1 hour) Monday to Saturday. We are conducting this test phase in order to undertake detailed monitoring and further optimise the site settings to ensure a good user experience for the high levels of demand we expect when we launch the live service. Users have asked for an indication of how their searches are progressing, and in response, a queuing mechanism is now provided, allowing you to see where you are in the queue for search results. To permit more users to access the database and maximise throughput during early days of operation, users are being limited to 2 hours of continuous use. At least one operation (such as a search, display of search details or image download) must be conducted every 15 minutes to stay active on the system, but note that accessing the Help pages is not classed as an activity for this purpose."
