Dear friends of Founders and Survivors,

We have received many questions about the status of our data migration process. We are trying to bring together data from a variety of sources -- such as police records, surgeons' records and death registers -- that have been stored in many different formats and data structures. The process of making these different kinds of data ready for electronic publication is complex and time-consuming.

Some of you have received email notification of our newsletter and have tried unsuccessfully to log in as a user on this website. This may be because your address is on our subscription list for the newsletter but is not registered with a user account. These are two different registration systems, but if you do create a new account, your newsletter subscription will then be linked with your account.

In any case, you should not have to log in to download the PDF files for the newsletter. The links are on this page.
