Hi Alan I am in Amsterdam with a super dooper internet connection. LDS website has seemed slower than normal to pull up images; having said that I get an image in around 10 seconds whilst usually it is about 5 seconds Rgds Malcolm -----Original Message----- From: MR ALAN DOUGLAS HATTLE <onganda@iway.na> Sender: south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2012 13:24:37 To: <SOUTH-AFRICA-EASTERN-CAPE@rootsweb.com> Reply-To: south-africa-eastern-cape@rootsweb.com Subject: [ZA-EC] Death Notices in PE (LDS site) Hi Antoinette, Gwyn and others It sounds grand, logging on the the LDS website (familysearch.org), and hunting down death notices in various towns for various years, but either you have super-fast internet connections, or Namibia Telecom is particularly slow today! Clearly, one has to already know the date and place of death to start using this material (browsing of individual images only - no search possibilities). For example, my grandfather (William Gray) died on 22 March 1950 in PE, but if I only had the year and not exact date, at about 2 - 10 minutes per image to download, it would take me years to 'view' all 4761 images for PE in 1950! Even when you know the exact date, it is still a hit-or-miss affair to find the image among those thousands (and opening 1950, I found that images 1 and 2 are actually for deaths in March and September 1949! - So be aware that the death notice you are looking for might not even be under the year you expect to find it!) In fact, it seems that some images just never download at all - I have been waiting half an hour for an image to come up, but all I get is a black screen with the white tools (Rotate, zoom, Save, Print etc) on the left side. Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just Namibia Telecom? It cannot be my computer software, as a few images have actually eventually materialised.
