Find your family, all long weekend
« on: Tuesday 27 March 18 19:17 BST (UK) »
From Ancestry, "From 30 March to 2 April, you’ll be able to search millions of UK, Ireland and Commonwealth records – all completely free*. Start in Britain then head off to Australia, Canada, or wherever, and spend four full days finding long-lost family all over the Commonwealth."

So are Ancestry also adding on 4 free days to all their loyal subscribers? I guess the answer will be, "No"  ::)

Rather than giving away free weekends its a pity they don't try and sort out all the problems they are having at the moment.

This is really strange, every time I go to see my daughter in Torquay, Ancestry  seem to make Commonwealth records freely available!
Mullingar, Westmeath Ireland: Gilligan/Wall/Meagher/Maher/Gray/O'Hara/Corroon (various spellings)
Bristol: Woodman/James/Derrick
Bristol/Somerset: Saunders/Wilmot
Gloucestershire:Woodman/Mathews/Tandy/Stinchcombe/Marten/Thompson
Wiltshire: Mathews
Carmarthen: Thomas, Lewis
Australia: Mary Lewis, transportee, married Henry Brown - what happened to her?

I only have a UK membership so will get the extra access but as I don't need it then no real extra benefit for me.

I hope that this time those getting it free won't be moaning about the problems they are having with access etc     ::)   :)
