They are honoring their contracts by placing the restrictions on these collections. It may be helpful to include this in your further explanation.Jimmy Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677934820333828147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793782800729950147.post-33123764727341701472015-02-18T09:41:03.108-08:002015-02-18T09:41:03.108-08:00See Jimmy Zimmerman's Comment above for a full...See Jimmy Zimmerman's Comment above for a full explanation.

Maybe my searches were better.<br /><br />I looked up Paul Hinckley from 1750-1850 and found three listings; one in Rensselaer Co., NY and two in Stonington, Ct., all of which I can access. Some are transcripts, some are images of original records.<br /><br />I looked up Daniel Waters from 1815-1870 for Massachusetts then for New York. On the list of hits I can tell which are accessible to me and most are but not some of the Massachusetts vital records. These may be available at FamilySearch, however.<br /><br />From what I looked at yesterday before logging in, the items under Education, at least some of them, are free to anyone and look worthwhile.<br /><br />And they have an e-newsletter which is free to all. Subscribe from the link at the very bottom of the homepage.<br /><br />That's a start. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572739124200052085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793782800729950147.post-44423408189225927592015-02-18T09:28:50.910-08:002015-02-18T09:28:50.910-08:00It looks like my previous comment didn't come ...It looks like my previous comment didn't come through, so if this is a repost, please ignore.<br /><br />With all of our partnerships, there are certain record collections that the partner cannot include in the free membership. That said, the majority of records should be available, so it sounds like your experience isn't meeting that.<br /><br />Here are a few things to check to make sure your account is set up correctly:<br /><br />1. On your "My Account" page, you should see: "Membership Level: American Ancestors Affiliate Account..." You can check that here: http://www.americanancestors.org/userprofile/<br /><br />2. When signed in, you should be able to view this record: http://www.americanancestors.org/databases/essex-genealogist-the/image/?volumeId=12594&pageName=140&rId=143270259<br /><br />If this isn't working, you may need to work with the AmericanAncestors.org support to get the account issues resolved.<br /><br />If you have questions about which collections are not included, please see the following article:<br /><br />http://www.americanancestors.org/Membership/affiliateaccount/<br /><br />This lists 25 collections that cannot be made available with this level of membership. NEHGS has been gracious in publishing this list. If you hit a record restriction for a collection that is not on that list, then it should be considered a bug and NEHGS should fix it.<br /><br />Hope this helps!

I looked at about five people and none of the records listed would open and there was no data in the entries.James Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989059644120454647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793782800729950147.post-12406053381657600012015-02-17T13:42:46.625-08:002015-02-17T13:42:46.625-08:00I was able to see images from some collections but...I was able to see images from some collections but not others. It must depend on which are included in the LDS account but I could not tell which is which until I tried to see them.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572739124200052085noreply@blogger.com
