Ancestry.com gives Free Access to its Irish Records 'til March 18, 2019

Ancestry.com is giving genealogists another way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with free access to its Irish Records collection until March 18, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

There is a St. Patrick's Day Free Access page to start your search and a list of what records are included. On this access page there is also a downloadable guide with tips for finding your Irish ancestors.

If you are not a member (pay or free account) already, you need a free Ancestry account in order to participate. Remember, for free access you do not need to subscribe, do a free-trial or provide your credit card. If you see any of this, you have clicked on the wrong thing. Simply register for a free username. You do this by going to the link above and starting a search. Then a pop-up window will show asking for your name and email address. Fill that in and as it says a username and password will be sent to your email.

Remember when the free access period ends you will not have access to any records found unless you have a paid subscription. So make sure to download the record images you have found so you do have future access to them.

Good Luck Everyone! And stay safe!

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
