This has been available for quite a while, at the library i used to use before i subscribed to Ancestry they let you have a 2 hour time slot, booking in advance and 5p for each print, I think some of the larger libraries will give you unlimited time, depending on how busy they are, theyre often packed on wet rainy days i used to find. nicky |

I have just found out that all Ancestry is free when you use a library computer. The librarian will give you the details. Free to join,you make an appointment to use it. If no-one is waiting, you would probably get longer. Hope this helps. |

That's a tip worth looking into, thanks Margaret. If folks google 'ancestry library edition' it will bring up a list of participating Librarys too. Regards Ann |

You can also access Ancestry free at any LDS family history centre. My local library doesnt subscribe to Ancestry. OC |

Unfortunately I don't think all libraries offer this service - my local library doesn't yet. (I shall have to ask them why not!) |

Stoke on Trent Archives has this - as long as you book the computer in advance, you can stay on as long as you like. Sam x |
