  • Does your local library have free access to Ancestry on their computers? Many do.

    I believe Ancestry allows dipping in & out using trial options, you have to remember to cancel though or it becomes a continuous yearly membership

  • Ancestry allows intermittent use. I subscribe for a month every now and again. You can utilise some of their hints for free, and add/edit items such as photos, scans of documents, etc. without needing to be a current subscriber, the account type reverts to Registered Guest.

    BTW, the Ancestry app works well on an iPhone, I mostly use the app as it’s very handy to use while visiting relatives.
