I now take a screenshot of the relevant information from images on Ancestry and save it as I learnt my lesson the hard way a few years back. :-(

I do the same for the entry of births from GRO as it gives the maiden name of mother on the earlier entries and is just one more tiny piece of evidence ;-)

FarmilySearch (The Mormons) has most of them anyway - free.

Sadly, you can only view Keepsafe items while you are currently subscribed to the package that contains the records (eg. Platinum / Parish). This is a lesson many of us learned the hard way.

The trick is to download them to your computer while you're subscribed. You could also then upload them to your Keepsafe again if you want to.

Ancestry are equally annoying - I dropped my sub down from Worldwide last year to the ordinary one and found I couldn't access items stored in my shoebox that weren't from the UK.
I phoned up to ask why as I had obviously paid for them originally and was told I hadn't 'bought ' them, just the right to view them with the correct membership. Of course I should have printed them at the time but was having printer problems so hadn't done that.

Think they have a limited time span to be kept before you have to renew

Why is it I cannot view parish records that have been in my Keepsake since I started on Genes reunited ? Before saying I need to pay for parish records these are paid for and have been in my folders for a long time so why should I have to pay again? Genes reunited and I are no longer friends and I'm very upset about this, I now regret renewing my account.
