Elisabeth, can you not right click on the images and email them to yourself?

Just found the advertisement on my Ancestry home page. Off to see what I can find.

I didn't have to re-register and have had fun searching.

I have saved some images to my shoebox, but it will not allow me to save any images to the computer. I suspect that at the end of the 'free search period' the shoebox images will be unavailable.

Off to search some more.

I can't see this item from the latest Lost Cousins newsletter posted yet.

Free access to immigration records

Between Monday August 29th and Monday 5th September Ancestry.co.uk are offering free access to all their immigration records - you'll find more details here. Even if you're already an Ancestry subscriber, this offer should provide access to records that would normally only be available with a Worldwide subscription.

Note: you'll need to register at Ancestry if you haven't already done so. It's possible that if you're currently an Ancestry.co.uk subscriber you might have to re-register using a different log-in ID to get access to worldwide immigration records - it won't be clear until the offer starts.

Have fun :-)
