Thanks also to Mick Loxdale for his posting on the ERO . My bowser is acting up today - (must be those rebels figiting in their graves with the approach of July 4th) ;-)! Peter's posting was the only one to pop up. However, Mike's popped up shortly after. Shirley in FL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mick Loxdale" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, July 1, 2011 2:50:04 PM Subject: [Ess] ESSEX RECORD OFFICE ON LINE Just received the below in the Essex RO monthly E-bulletin, which may be of interest:   Pay-to-Browse Launch Essex Record Office will be launching Essex Ancestors on 30 August. This new service will offer unlimited pay-to-browse access to Essex parish registers and many wills, giving customers fuller and wider access to our holdings from the comfort of their homes. Parish register coverage will extend from at least 1538 to 1837 with the period 1837 to the present partly included at go-live date or planned imminently. Marriages within the last 50 years will be excluded, in compliance with government guidelines, however.   Parish register and will images will become available for 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months or 1 year according to the user's need or preference, but we are pleased to say that access to the images will be free in the ERO Searchroom.   We look forward to your future comments  (e mail: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]) and hope that this new departure will help mitigate our savings in the new financial climate.     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any problems, please contact the List Admin: [email protected] ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
