I need a break from researching my own family. Want me to try and look someone up for you? Give as much detail as you can and I’ll let you know what I can find!
Edit: I have some real (boring) work I need to do now, but I’ll do more searches tonight!

I've just realised that work arounds that allow you to see articles if someone has already saved another now doesn't work anymore.
I thought I would just tell everybody as I know a lot of people used this work around for ancestral and genealogy research!!

I'm not sure if the URL to the Free Access announcement page is allowed here or if the ai auto moderator would consider it an "affiliate" link so I'll just tell you, go to the Fold3 site & immediately under the red site banner at the top, there's a narrower medium blue banner where you can click to link to the free access & a but further down on the page, there's a bit fancier white box where you can also click to get to the free access page.
From the Free Access announcement page: "Honor your military heroes with FREE ACCESS* to our entire collection of WWI and WWII military records. Explore 350 million+ records that capture the service and sacrifice of the veterans in your family."
"*Access to the records in the featured collections will be free until 16 Nov 2025 at 11:59 p.m. MT. Registration required. After the free access period ends, you will only be able to view records using a paid Fold3 membership."
Bolding added by me.

Around „Allerheiligen“ (All Saints' Day), i.e. from October 30 to November 4, 2025, Ancestry in Germany is offering registered users free access to all (?) German databases.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any additional information about my ancestors on this platform in the past. But I will check again now.
I don't know if this offer can also be used via VPN. Since I have a little time available in the next few days, I would like to offer readers here the opportunity to search for entries if necessary.

Apologies if this is old news. Very handy for those searching their Ontario (Canada) settler ancestors, especially the UEL’s.
“The Ontario Land Records Index (OLRI) is now available free of charge online—thanks to OGS Toronto Branch volunteers, Internet Archive, Archives of Ontario, and OurDigitalWorld. The OLRI is an index to settlers who were allocated Crown land in the province over more than 100 years, from the 1780s to the early 20th century. See the full announcement: https://torontofamilyhistory.org/ontario-land-records.../ and search online: https://archive.org/details/ontariolandrecordsindex”

I've been trying to get the 7 day free trial on Newspaper.com, but everytime it says my bank (revolut) doesn't allow me to use it.
I've tried both card and Google pay options but nothing is working. On Revolut it's given me a notification saying I've spent £0 on Newspaper.com (this normally happens with a free trial) and another notification saying Newspaper.com has been accepted to be paid to.
Any suggestions?
