Cassey Hollinghurst: Helen, in the U.S. a lot of public libraries have a subscription to Ancestry.Com patrons can use for free. So you might check with your library.Ancestry.Com's real value is the amount of records on line.

Lashawn Zabarkes: There are many free websites for the UK, don't you think one is rather limiting.The census returns for England and Wales from 1841 to 1911 are held at the National Archives at Kew and you can access the census images and transcriptions via the links on their website: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/censu… Only the 1881 census is available free online, all others are on paid sites however you can consult the indexes for free. Volunteers are transcribing the other censuses to make them freely available and this site has completed some counties for some years: http://www.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.plOn the free LDS site, you can search the 1881 census and the International Genealogical Inde! x (IGI), which is a large collection of extracts from parish registers. You can search many more records on microfilm or fiche at your local LDS Family History Center â€" locate one near you by consulting their website. Also, you can also download the family history program Personal Ancestral File (PAF) for free. http://www.familysearch.orgThe national indexes of birth, marriage and death up to about 1930 can be searched at free bmd. Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales on July 1, 1837; however, registration of births was not compulsory until 1875. http://freebmd.org.uk Some local registration offices are putting their indexes online at http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/The two websites that follow have many valuable links, many are free and some are fee based but most of them are clearly marked, I believe with $ if they are fee based. http://www.genuki.org.uk/http://www.cyndislist.com/Genuki has a page for each county where you can locate the County Record Office! where the parish records are held and other county resources.! Two free sites in process the of putting parish registers online are:http://onlineparishclerks.org.uk/http://www.freereg.org.ukIf you search, the free World Connect project to see if anyone has done research on your ancestors [view these trees with caution as much of the 'research' is suspect - verify anything you find online by consulting the original records before incorporating the data into your family tree]: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/That is all I have for the UK, I hope you find it helpful....Show more
