Frustrated Ancestry.Com Subscriber

[Tariana]

I remember reading an article about that. My hometown's library is supposed to be doing something like that soon. I'll probably need a card though. I haven't been to that library in ages. I don't even know how to get there

to be quite honest, I think anyone who can afford ancestry.com or any subscription is lucky. I'm a college student, so my income is.. well, what income? lol, also I DO NOT use credit cards online.

I think you are right, Tariana - it can all be a bit expensive and as other threads have shown there are some risks attached with credit cards (not re Ancestry though).
I was lucky in that I got a subscription for Christmas from my wife.  Before that, I relied on the good folk on this board to help me out.
Carry on posting lookup requests - that's the answer - at least until you've graduated and are earning megabucks: then you can repay the favour for someone else!

best wishes

In England, the Church of Latter Day Saints Family History Centres have free access to Ancestry.com.

I have just discovered that my local LDS family history centre here in Oz also has free Ancestry for patrons.  They are so good, the LDS centres!

also, www.familysearch.org works too. It's their site.

I got in touch with Ancestry because Sheffield wasn't in Yorkshire on the 1871, after numerous e-mails, they informed me that Sheffield was probably a 'village' and it would be 'somewhere' in Yorkshire...............I gave up as a bad job..............then lo and behold all of a sudden Sheffield is there ! No explanation, it just appeared.
I have come to the conclusion with Ancestry that if you don't expect too much, you won't be disapointed !

Sounds like a good guiding philosophy for life, janet!

Hi all

Until today I was delighted with Ancestry.com

Today when I clicked to view an image it wouldn't allow it until I downloaded the "Enhanced viewer".

Download clearer images faster!

Oh great now its slower and looks out of focus and the "save" button won't work!

The problem report generated a standard email that stated it will be fixed in the next periodic update.
