What does Ancestry Library Edition include?
« on: Tuesday 11 April 23 14:55 BST (UK) »
I have got just a couple of things I wanted to view on Ancestry and have wondered about looking at my library.  I think they have the "Library Edition".  Does anyone know if this has all of Ancestry`s records?
I was mainly interested in Wills and probate

This was one of the answers from Mr G:

Is Ancestry free at libraries in the UK?
It has unparalleled coverage of the United Kingdom, including census, vital, church, court, and immigration records, as well as collections from other areas of the world. You can use Ancestry (Library Edition) for free as part of your library membership.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

The library edition has all the records to the best of my knowledge. You can't sign into your own account, so you cannot look at DNA matches, messages, or work on your own tree.

You can send things to yourself (eg a census page) by email.

I can't remember if public trees are available on Library Edition, Ruskie.
Here in South Australia, we were lucky to be able to access the Library Edition remotely during Covid lockdowns and restrictions.

Yes, Public trees are available to view.
I frequently use Library Edition at my local library.

Always take a USB memory stick with me!
So I Save to local disk, and then copy all downloaded images to USB, for later use at home.
