Ancestry.co.uk is a membership-based genealogy website which allows people to access family records and trace their family trees. The website has been in operation since 2002, offering access to more than 950 million family records. Different levels of membership are offered, from the basic ‘Essentials' membership, right up to the most comprehensive ‘Worldwide' membership.
A good way to learn about the site is by using its free 14-day trial, available through an Ancestry.co.uk discount voucher from this site. The ‘Essentials' membership allows access to UK census records, as well as birth, marriage and deaths indexes. It also allows members to use the ‘easy tree builder' on the Ancestry.co.uk website.
The more expensive ‘Premium' membership offers additional access to parish records from 1538 to 1980, as well as important military records. Members with overseas ancestry should consider the ‘Worldwide' membership instead, which includes access to emigration records, as well as the most important overseas records.
Each membership offers monthly or annual payment, with significant savings for those paying annually. Ancestry.co.uk iscount codes can also offer significant discounts on memberships, whether bought for oneself or as a part of a gift package. All members receive a free monthly newsletter.
Members also have the opportunity to use an Ancestry.co.uk discount voucher on its other services, which include hard copies of important certificates and printed books on family surnames. The Ancestry.co.uk's staff is most helpful, with their free helpline open seven days a week. Alternatively, budding genealogists could watch the video tutorials in the website's ‘Health & Advice Centre'.
