Hi girls I think Ancestry is for finding dead ones only! It has censuses from 1871 to 1901, bmd's up to about 1910, but as far as I know, nothing that would help you find living rellies. But I've found heaps and heaps of dead ones with Ancestry, so I love it. Bev |

Any idea of area or rough dates. The marriage index on Ancestry goes from 1984 - 2000 |

LOL bev, but even though my family are still alive, I do class my older family members as ancestors1 It`s not obvious Ancestry is for dead people. I have found my fathers marriage to my mum and my step mum, I have found my mums marriage to her new husband! |
