“Inside History” posted your ‘records finder’ on FB.
The first thing we all do is put in something we already know. And yes I love the way it works.
I admit, and especially after reading your blog, I don’t understand the technical points.
Thank you. Great idea
p.s. Hope your daughter enjoyed “Minecraft.”

Henriette, Thanks. Yes, you can also include other_names and service_number parameters in the url. For example: http://wraggelabs.com/ww1-records/?family_name=cunliffe&other_names=thomas&service_number=67. And yes, feel free to use any of the code. The screenscrapers are obviously site-specific, but there might be some useful patterns in there -- like how to deal with horrible .NET forms!
