Hi,
Not sure if this will make sense but here goes. A while ago I had a 14 day free trial with ancestry and I managed to research almost everything for 6 different arms of my family. This left me no time to actually find out all the little things the site does.
I have now found the public tree section and low and behold there is a tree on there that contain several of my family going back to 1810.
I went to my library to use ancestry there as it is free. I was hoping to contact the family, however it doesn't allow you access to that area of the site.
If possible could someone with a subscription please try to contact them on my behalf. I could give my email by PM and also their tree name.

Not sure if this is possible but thought it was worth a try.
Thanks

Cheryl

Don't mind doing this Cheryl. Send me your email address, the tree name and also a member of the family I can cross-check for reference - preferably someone with a distinctive name!!.
