Ancestry Immigration Collection -Free Access till April 30th

Post by grannysrock » Sun Apr 15, 2007 9:56 am

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Ancestry.com's Immigration collection ( including the new Border Crossing records ) are free to view until April 30th.

I've already found some of my Canadian rellies off for a wee holiday in the States !

Thanks Sally

Its a shame certain other sites dont entice you in with free time like Ancestry. Once youve had a peek and a bit of luck thats it .............. :D

Or be like me and wait for it - the free time - to come round again :wink:
Scotland - Donaldson / Moggach / Shaw / Geddes / Sim / Gray / Mackie / Richards / Joel / Coull / Mckimmie / Panton / McGregor
Ireland and Scotland - Casey / McDade / Phillips / McCandle / Dinely / Comaskey + various spellings

Hi,

I just logged on to the Immigration section of Ancestry and it's not allowing me to see the records? It's asking me to purchase or buy pay per view? Thought it was free til April 30th???

Try going to ancestry.com rather than ancestry.co.uk and see if that works. It still says on the home page that immigration records are free until the 30th.

Yes that's what I had to do too and it works fine that way.
