United Kingdom, Chelsea Pensioners' Service Records - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Known Issues
Question #1: I get a message “This image is viewable: - When using the site at a family history center. - To signed-in members of supporting organizations” for these records." How can I view these records? Answer #1: FamilySearch has limited rights, granted by the record custodians, to publish some images for viewing online. Images for the United Kingdom, Chelsea Pensioners' Service Records, 1760-1913 collection are only available for viewing to members of the supporting organization (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), and at FamilySearch Centers. Please check with the FamilySearch Centerto verify that it is certified to view these images. These images are not available on microfilm.

If you have a Church account and are not able to view images after signing in, it may be due to a registration problem, not an image access problem. Please call 1-866-406-1830 in the United States, or contact Patron Services at [mailto:support@familysearch.org support@familysearch.org]. Please include a brief description of the problem and steps taken thus far to resolve the issue.

Question 2
Question 2: The browse folders only contain Box Number (Digital Folder Number). How does this help me browse for the military records I am looking for?
