Hi, I am thinking of joining ANCESTRY is it right you can look at certificates on that site and is the 14 day trial worth doing , not sure what to do

14 day free trial is certainly worth doing - make a long list of things before signing for it and make sure you cancel the trial or you will get charged

What certificates do you think you can view on Ancestry?

Never found any to view on that site

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.

Hi, I never ordered any certificate from Ancestry only from the government website as it is cheaper £7 while Ancestry is £14. I use Ancestry to check the ref nos etc.

The only problem that I've, personally, found with Ancestry, is that it is a little cumbersome to use. Having said that, I've found a good deal of useful information there, and I wouldn't be without it either.

If there is one site you can afford to pay for, it has to be ancestry.

Ancestry now charge £19.99 (up to 16 working days) , or £39.99 for express delivery (up to 6 working days)

An even more compelling reason to order your certificates directly.
