Ancestry - Free Access to all UK records 24-26th December
« on: Tuesday 23 December 14 19:20 GMT (UK) »
Ancestry are giving free access to all UK records, from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day (24th - 26th December).

(Click on the image below to get there for more)



What a lovely Christmas present from them.  :)

The question is - can you tear yourself away to eat your Christmas turkey?

Enjoy!

Pinefamily

That's brilliant - it's Christmas Eve already for you - we've got a few minutes to wait here in the UK.

Let us know of how you get on with it :)
