All I can say is: Thank goodness QinetiQ were around to sort out the errors drawn to their attention, such as the mistranscribed Tuck families... |

Ha! I wonder if we'll get free access, being GR members? I won't hold my breath tho... And will GR try to bar people from doing look-ups on Ancestry, seeing as they will be in direct competition with them? |

The National Archives advised us last Friday evening that FriendsReunited had bought the contract for the 1901 census service from QinetiQ (though we would comment that the service may be provided via the sister site GenesReunited, since this seems more appropriate). The Message from TNA was as follows: <quote> This is to advise you that QinetiQ (operators of our popular 1901 census service) have sold the contract this afternoon to FriendsReunited. We were not party to the negotiations but our approval was necessary. We sought and obtained assurances about the standard of customer service FriendsReunited will offer and believe that it is a positive development for 1901 customers. Customers will not notice any difference in the way the service operates. A press release will be issued by the two parties on Monday and we will publish further details on our website then. Should members of the public have any questions about the sale, they should address them to QinetiQ or FriendsReunited. <unquote> And GR STILL shows an out of date URL for the National Archives. |
