When taking advantage of a free trial offer from our site we may gain a small percentage, which helps us support Family History Daily.

Although we are not associated with Ancestry, we do sometimes act as an affiliate. However, you can get a free 14 day free trial here if you would like to access all records on Ancestry. If you are asked to enter credit card information you are trying to view paid resources. You do not need to sign up for a 14 day trial to search or access the free records. But since they cannot charge you without credit card information, there is no risk you’ll accidentally sign up for the wrong account. When trying to access a free record they will simply prompt you with the free membership signup page if you do not already have an account. You will need a free ancestry account to take advantage of most of this data (you do not need one only for Web collections). It can essentially act as a large and free genealogy search engine, allowing you to find data from many free sites in one search. If you keep your tree on Ancestry, or just like their format, this is an extremely convenient way to search and document data. Other collections owned by Ancestry cannot be found elsewhere for free. Many of the Web collections are provided in partnership with well-recognized free family history leaders like The National Archives or FamilySearch, and others come from smaller sites. There are two types of collections in this free section – those Ancestry owns and ‘Web’ collections provided by other sites. Their Free Index Collections page, linked to below, offers the ability to search and sort every single cost-free collection and provides a complete list of these collections at the bottom of the page. There is, however, a much easier way to find all 800+ free collections on Ancestry (up from 600+ 2 years ago), although they don’t make it very easy to locate. There is no way to limit results by membership level in this search–ie free vs discovery vs world explorer etc–and the only obvious sign that a record does not require payment is that its search result data is not censored.
