Familysearch.org which is the mormon site has free access to U.K. 1881 and Canada and U.S.A. 1880 very useful for relatives who may have emigrated. It also has the IGI free and is very easy to use. There research tips are very good.

Katrina - If you're only given a choice between a World Deluxe and a US Deluxe membership. you've probably logged on to Ancestry*com. Try logging on to Ancestry*co*uk instead, and you should have the option of a UK Deluxe membership. As far as I know, the US membership lets you see US records, the UK membership lets you see UK records, and the World membership lets you see all records (there are memberships for other countries as well). If you've got a US membership, for example, I think you can still search the UK records, but you don't get details (such as city or year), nor can you access scanned images, etc... Unless you're actively searching in two or more countries (and the UK encompasses England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales), I don't think that you'd need a World membership. My opinion, for what it's worth - Tim in Canada

If you subscribe to Ancestry through Lost Cousins, you get a big discount - it costs something like £50 instead of £70: http://www.lostcousins*com (replace the asterisk with a dot)

Dear Katrina I have the monthly membership and its very good value, as another newbie I have found its very educational as well.

Katrina, dont choose the world deluxe or american one. Go to Lost Cousins site, register free, then click on the ancestry logo on the right hand side - you get a year for £55

Hi everyone again... I just joined up to the free trial with Ancestry and found no difference to looking up to before I did the free trial. I must be doing something wrong...

When you have pressed search, does it bring up something like this? View Record George Adams abt 1858 Fareham, Hampshire, England Son Alverstoke Hampshire View image Have you pressed on the view image? If you are not seeing an image it could be that you need to download the viewer. It should tell you that somewhere on the screen. Kat
