I have had uk for 4 years and Ive had the 3 day worldwide trial offer twice before but I got in no problem. Dont take it for gospel if you get padlocks or a message saying you cant get it just keep going, enter John Smith born 1845 USA and search and see if you get entry.

ok, got my free access, dont know what to do with it or where to start now, lol

Is this trial for 3 days only from today or does ot start for 3 days when you log on to it. In other words can I do it tomorrow and still get 3 days.
Thanks Marie

3days from when you log in BUT I dont know if there is a close off date. Youll have to stay up all night - LOL>

Steph, do you already have UK ancestry? If not, then get searching for all the census and bmd plus WW1 records and Pallots and parish records to name but a few!

Thanks Heather,
Will sign up tomorrow, eyes ned propping up at mo.
What is on there that isnt on Ancestry uk

me neither says :
Our records show that you have already taken advantage of a 3 days free offer or another similar offer. You can still use our many free services or check out the other offers we have available. Thank you for your interest in Ancestry.com.

Hi

I'm having no problem getting in - but when trying to view the actual record, i.e. Census, then it's telling me that I have to become a member.

Elaine

Log out and in again Elaine and perhaps use a different email addy.

I have set up an account for you all.

I do hope Jim that this is the free 3 day trial you have set up, if it is a paid for account Ancestry will remove it and you will lose your subscription and they may even take legal action against you.

Sorry to possibly rain on any parade.

Jim! Thanks for your help - everything working now.

Thank you whoever posted this thread. No problem accessing the free trial. I have now been able to access this 3 day trial offer twice in the past 3 months. I have subscription for Uk but not USA. Will now get on with finding all my rellies.
Thanks again

Many thanks Jim - have now got in after several tries following other tips - hopefully my family can look after themselves for a while now while I'm searching!!!

Amanda like you I have been on the site now for 3 days and my eyes have gone boggly too. what a rush to try and find things before they cut you off, but great fun.

Lesley

LOL, Glad you are enjoying it - think about a sub after you finish as I dont know what Id do without mine.

What I cant make out is why people are still asking for census look ups when they could be looking themselves 24 hours a day!.

Do check out all the sources - go through the list of sources available, not just the obvious census and bmd.

All is well for me...

This is the 2nd time I've been able to have a 3 day free access to ancestry now.

Thank you for the link, it all comes in useful, especially coming up to xmas, the amount of money this saves.

Thank you for the link. Hope all has as much luck as getting access to it 1st time.

I spent about 10 hours yesterday contacting most of the people who have incorrect information. Some of them have thanked me for pointing out the anomaly of a woman having children 150 yrs or so before her own father was born. Another person told me to educate myself in the whole process of genealogy research! And another said there were 9 other people with the info on OneWorldTree so it must be right! I did reply that 9 wrongs dont make a right.
I have been fuming over the stupidity of some people, but I welcomed the opportunity to at least tell them they had it wrong. I just hope those who do nothing will enjoy their spurious trees.

Hi just tried this and when I accessed the USA records I was able to view images with no problem but then when I tried UK it told me I had used their free trial before-how has everyone else managed it then?
just my luck !
Ah well
