The Free Ancestry Trial has ENDED!
« on: Wednesday 15 September 04 07:25 BST (UK) »
Sadly,its true :(

Ancestry packed it's bags and left quietly in the night,firmly locking the door as it left!

So it looks like we are going to have to shell out the hard earned if we want to get in.

Oh well,it was fun while it lasted and I'm sure that a lot of people benefited from it so we can't really complain :)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings,

Mick ;)

Mick
I looked on the Gale Group - Database trial site provided by one of our members (in the useful sites section) and Ancestry.com which was freely accessible from that site appears to have been removed from there to!
Although you can still gain access to the times periodicals etc and much much more on the Gale site.

I finally decided to subscribe to Ancestry .co.uk
the UK arm ,just for the 1891 and 1871 census for my one name study.

I worked it out that it was cheaper than petrol and parking fees to view elsewhere.

Also I can have my tea on the hour,  half hour, and in between.

I shall stay subscribed as it will take all of my time(one year) to search it site thoroughly and despite all the "bad" things I heard on other mailing lists about trying to cancel
credit cards etc I am very happy  with its cost effectiveness..

Mind you it is for a One Name that I base my statement.

The amount  available if one selects all the databases is massive.

Cheers Gj.
