locked folder on Ancestry
« on: Tuesday 11 August 09 21:32 BST (UK) »
I have just started using Ancestry, and while trolling through the Shropshire section I found an entry where two members were discussing  their ancestors who turned out to be brothers from Edgmond, born just after 1800.  My Great Grandfather was a third brother, and I was keen to contact them, but the folder has the padlock motive displayed on it. Can anyone please advise?
 Regards,
    Flygirluc.

I'm not sure what part of Ancestry you were looking at when you say 2 people were discussing a common ancestor. Or were you looking at the boards on here?

If it was Ancestry there may be something about it in their FAQ section.

Hi,         
Thank you for your input, which I am extremely grateful for, but I have been lucky, and managed to contact one of the people from my ancestors line.
   Regards,
