Free datasets on Ancestry
Ancestry gathers datasets from many owners around the world, and (as part of their licence conditions) some owners require that their information be made available without charge to users who do not have an Ancestry subscription.
A page that lists ONLY those datasets you can use free is located at https://search.ancestry.com.au/search/group/freeindexacom#databases From that link you have the choice of a general search across all the free collections or (the better alternative), scrolling down to select one dataset to search at a time. Note although the software may ask you to sign-in to use these datasets, it does NOT need to be a paid subscription account. With a simple sign-up (no credit card required) you can search or browse these items from home. |
