I don't think it's had free access for a while.
I have only 6. You add people in the group or add to relationship?
You're not trying then.
Sorry what
Mr Smith over here flexing…
All of us are related via Adam and Eve and before that it was all aliens.
So the history channel tells me.
before that it was all aliens.
Any deals on ReptilianAncestry.com subscriptions?
Wasn't it monkeys or apes
Yes until the aliens spliced their DNA to create you and me.

It seems to be a 14 day free trial which you need to give CC detail on? Or have I done this incorrectly
Check your local library website too - mine allows access to ancestry from home right now (might be pandemic thing) for the library edition https://catalogue.grlc.vic.gov.au/client/en_GB/ancestry
Not sure which library, but yes.. My mother found this out at her library too,
Click on the 3rd link down as per title. Not the 14 day free trial.
I read the title as Records.
A bit difficult to get anywhere without the paid version (or 14 day trial), even with these records.
All you get is electoral rolls
You also get access to births deaths & marriages which I find more helpful
With my vpn set to USA the link asked if I wanted to go to the UK site.
Stating it was better.
Can anyone confirm,as my mother used the AU site buy our relatives date back to UK.
I haven't found any significant difference between the sites except for search defaults being localised to the USA, the UK, or whatever. Also, the basic US subscription buys you access mostly to US records, the UK subscription mostly to UK records, etc. But if you're not paying anyway that isn't an issue.
Is this only for whites?
It's for anyone, but from the description - "Australian, NZ, UK and Irish records" - I presume that it only covers records held by those countries. There are likely gaps in their coverage of Australian Aboriginal births from say the 1950s and earlier, but that'sa record issue, not the fault of Ancestry.com.
All that being said, I hate using the Ancestry.com website, and I strongly recommend that you make a local copy of any information you find useful, because after the free period you probably won't be able to view it again.
Right…thanks for the info.
Is this only for whites?
No, you can use any surname.
Something I learnt recently is that birth data from BDM is locked for 100 years. Death and marriage less.
It makes sense from a privacy point of view but I was perplexed why I couldn't find info on relatives.
In Victoria:-
100 years for births
60 years for marriages
30 years for deaths
The time period is from current date, so if you search for a birth today (Saturday 2 Oct 2021) you can see all births up to 2 Oct 1921, marriages to 1961, and deaths to 1991. These time restrictions have been in place for many years now.
Check newspapers for possible birth, death and marriage notices. trove.nla.gov.au has historic papers up to around 1954, but not every paper is there - Melbourne Sun isn't unfortunately, as many people put notices in The Sun. Age and Argus on are Trove. State Library has microfilms of papers, but you'd need to know an approximate date. Google Newspapers does have some later copies of The Age. You can also search for deaths on the Ryerson Index at ryersonindex.org
Thanks heaps for the websites
