Forces War Records Reviews

Not very much information on the records I found on Forces War Records. Difficult to find any records of any of my relatives. Think it would be easier to visit the National Archives at Kew.

Helps fill family tree gaps

Force War Records can sometime present an awful lot of items to look through to find the one you want. If you have details of your relative other than just name it will help in your search.

Horace George pinches served in the Boer war in the RAMC. We have his medals. But the War Office seem to have no record of this

Receiving names not in the RN or connected to ww2, many have no connection to the information I supplied. I am now in direct contact with RN achieves and will use the $ elsewhere.

Excellent site, but beware, it's addictive. You can get hooked as there are so much you didn't know about your family history and the site just keeps on giving more details. I've learnt so much and keep coming back for more

Avoid they hold no access to military records of any use to any researchers, happy to take your money though. Received refund/customer service was effective though.

The website was comprehensive yet still easy to use. I was able to find some excellent information about my family members who served in the military. Thank you for providing this excellent service.

I was just renewing my account and I think your company is great. I found everything easy.
I know I haven't used it much, but, will be in the future.

Found records for some of my ancestors though be aware it is difficult to be certain of anything without a service number. Cancellation of auto renewal was easier than I expected after having reading other reviews, there is an option to turn off auto renew.

Information available here adds to that found elsewhere and helps to build a data base which validates information form varying sources, giving confidence that the history seen is correct.

Although it can be hard to determin whether a record belongs to an ancestor if you have a lack of information, it is easy to search for the records you need, especially if you have the correct infomation/

I have no record of signing up to this site but they are taking money from my bank every month. I sent an email complaining but had no reply.
Update - I have now received a message indicating that my membership(?) will not auto renew and will end on 12 December for which I am thankful. I still do not know how I was 'recruited'!

Having signed up to Forces war records I’m appalled at how difficult it has been made to unsubscribe. I only wanted a 1 year membership but it has an auto renew with no clear way of unsubscribing on line. This not a good way of doing businesses.

As a member of Forces War Records i frequently use Stockton on tees public library to research and print off information. For about 3 weeks now i have not been able to use the site due to a problem with the sites secrurity certificate. The problem has been recorded by the library and myself but have had no answer. could you please chase up the problem so i can get onto the site and print off information. many thanks
