Cathy, just caught it myself today on ancestry.
Apparently it started yesterday.
I hope everyone can find the time to take advantage
of this, it is a wonderful collection.

Valarie This may sound a silly question and I know this offer from Ancestry states 'through April 30' but can you dip in and out until then or is it a one off search you can do?

Hi Emmy :D , I believe it's unlimited.
I haven't seen any disclaimers.

Also, not free but new (in case you want
us to check anything out)

This is wonderful, I accidently discovered it via Steve Morse's site for the Boston Passenger lists. When I clicked on the link it opened. For a minute I thought I had inadvertently joined again.

I love Ancestry, just wish I could afford all of their databases. $39. is too steep for my budget, I would have to cut out groceries and gas!

Many thanks Valerie

I can get the Scottish information from
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk I'm sure its about £6 for 30 credits and recently they have extended the time you have to use them - I'm sure its a month now but before you only had 7 days and if the credits were not used within that time you had to buy another £6 and the credits not used from the previous time would be added on.

Me being me I always remembered something I was to look up when the 7 days were up.

God Bless
