Free Ancestry Weekend

[lanercost]

Thanks for sharing

[Joney]

Yes, I forgot to say that. I used the free My Heritage access last week, to track the siblings of a direct ancestor through from 1851 to 1911 in Northumberland and Durham, which was all new ground. Having free access to Ancestry this weekend is another bonus. I am spending my money on sending for GRO certificates as I have tracked down all my own branches and I'm just filling in some more of the details on the Clough tree I'm doing for my husband. It's his grandmother's family. He's never moaned about the time I spend on this hobby, but knew nothing about his own family lines. I think I've got him hooked now.

thanks for that

Does anyone know if access is restricted?  I'm in New Zealand, and I can get to the .co.uk site and see the free access button, but it automatically reloads as .com.au and I can't do a thing. 

I've taken the weekend off specifically and really want to get in!

I am in NZ and cannot get access to the free records.

You should be able to Carol.   I've been on since yesterday morning our time (before it officially started).

I've logged in via www.ancestry.co.uk   and it's not booting me off.

Perhaps you need to log out of the Australian site first and start again.

Log in via hurworth's link and stay on .co.uk, don't click on the free access button.

I am in.
 As soon as i logged in it sent me to .au so logged out. Went back into .uk and did not log in. Was asked did i want to go to .au or continue at .uk. I chose .uk and am now able to search. (still not logged in)
     Thanks
                 Happy Carol

P.S Just looking for one family member.

Nope  :-(  I am logged out of everything, turned location off on my device - it still reloads as .com.au no matter what I do.
