I get on Ancestry using the http://infotrac(.)galegroup(.)com/itweb page logging on with my username and password. Once on the next page has an Ancestry link at the bottom. It is not there anymore where has it gone and how else can I get onto Ancestry. Fern.

Hi Fern, As soon as ancestry find out the password is being used by people other than those 'authorised' to use it they block it. The only legal way to access ancestry is to subscribe. Gwynne

Gale are starting to prevent access to their Ancestry sites outside of the libraries. You won't be able to access it at all soon.

If you use Ancestry by a 'back door' method, at least be discreet about it - once a password/username is out in the open on boards such as this they are picked up on and thus blocked..
