Free Access to Ancestry.com This Weekend Nov. 26 to Nov. 30, 2020


Ancestry.com is having a free access holiday weekend. It started today, Thursday, November 26 continuing through Monday, November 30, 2020, at 11:50 p.m. EST. The access weekend is featuring Ancestry's StoryScout experience.

Here is an idea. Since many can't be with their families this holiday, considering you or your older kids calling or Zooming or Google Meeting grandma/grandpa or other older relatives who are maybe a little bit technically able and working on some genealogy together. Can you find grandma/grandpa or great-grandma/grandpa on the 1940 census? Or their grandparents on an even earlier census. Take some time to talk, sharing stories and do some genealogy together!

Yes, many residents of the United States and Canada are getting temporary free remote access to Ancestry Library Edition until March 2021, but this is an opportunity for those with Ancestry Member Trees (which are free) but no paid Ancestry membership to be able to utilize the free access time to more easily enhance their trees with record information/sources. Remember to download your found images so you do not loose access to them after the free access time period. Otherwise, if you do have access to the Ancestry Library Edition offer you will have to manually find the record images back and download that way.

Have fun searching!

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library! (some day soon)
