One of
the temporary online resources that developed out of these COVID-19
times is the temporary remote access of Ancestry Library Edition thanks
to its providers ProQuest and Ancestry.com. This resource is accessible
via the website of the library that issued your library card.
Looking at our favorite library's genealogy pages we have learned this wonderful resource has
been extended again until the end of August. As we said last month, according to ProQuest this
temporary remote access will be re-evaluated monthly.
So, we patrons of the Suburban Library Cooperative libraries can keep
on researching!
You can
access Ancestry Library Edition by signing into the website of the
library that issued your library card and then clicking the link to
Ancestry Library Edition. You will be taken to the Ancestry Library
Edition home page and from there you can search to your heart's content.
Ancestry Library Edition has no personalized features so among other
things you can not access your personal Ancestry online tree or link
records to it if you have one. So you will need to remember to download
your record image finds and add the information to your genealogy trees
manually.
To compliment this online resource, remember that the Macomb County Genealogy Group has created an overview video on our YouTube channel. This video is An Overview of Ancestry Library Edition.
After explaining the differences between Ancestry Library Edition and a
personal home Ancestry.com subscription, we walk you around the
Ancestry Library Edition website and some different ways to start
searching for your ancestors.
We hope you are able to utilize this genealogy resource (Ancestry Library Edition) and learn something new about your ancestors.
If you need help starting genealogy see our MCGG Beginner's Packet for Family Research on our Research Help page.
Remember to have fun researching your ancestors everyone. And stay safe.
See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
