Free Access Weekend to Ancestry UK

It seems doubtful that Ancestry have announced their free weekend just for the Berwick 900 Family History Festival but let's make good use of it.

Free access is until midnight British Summer Time.

I'm puzzled that the Ancestry page says "UK Records Free Access" but lists only immigration and emigration records.

The records include

  • 19th-Century Emigration from Kreis Simmern (Hunsrueck), Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany to Brazil, England, Russian Poland, and USA
  • A List of Emigrants from England to America, 1682-1692 and 1718-1759
  • American Migrations 1765-1799
  • An Alphabetical Index to Ulster Emigration to Philadelphia, 1803-1850
Please note you'll need to login (and register if you haven't logged in before.
