Hi, I tried to get on to Ancestry but It wouldn't let me view the records, what am I doing wrong. I am registered with them already, does this matter. I have tried logging out and trying again but no luck.

Thanks

Sorry but you are a year too late - the other posts were made in November 2008. Try the internet at your local library as they will have a free subscription to Ancestry.

I can highly recommend this, I joined up at the beginning of Jan for the free trial, and now Im a paid member!
Ive really enjoyed tracing my family tree, and have found many relatives and secrets noone knew about!
I am currently as far back as the early 1800's.

The yearly membership is very expensive, so take the free trail and get as much done as possible to see if you will like it.
The amount of records available is amazing, but you may find yourself having to use other sites, such as the 1911 census (I think this is find my past) to find people, which of course you will also have to pay for. You will also need to pay more to go further back, but its really worth it if your commited!!

Tracing your family tree can be hard work, great fun, simple, and at some points you may be pulling your hair out!! But if you want a fantastic, rewarding and informative hobby, and are interested in your roots and family history, I really cant recommend it enough!

Be prepared for some suprises too!!

Thanks for the warning. That's a day off it then, because all of us who pay won't be able to get on that day.

Just about every library in the country has Ancestry, the library version which is much fuller than Acestry UK it has censuses, bmds etc for all around the world. One or two library authorities (slough is an example) have Find My Past too
Most libraries also have electronic versions of the Times back to day one and some have 19th century British Library Newspapers, that is newspapers chosen by the BL as being good regional examples. Excellent for obits etc.

I am starting to go into finding my ancestry's I know it's harder then I thought I found some of the information from family anyway but I wont be joining that because I aint got the pennies but I wouldn't mind going to the library about it :-), and also I've been looking on the social networking site Facebook .

Anyone tried this? how do you view the record free today? every time I try it still wants me to register as normal (which is 14 days free then they take payment) that is available all the time not just today so what should I be doing just to get the free census records today?
