Ancestry Library Edition can be accessed free within the libraries on our Wi-Fi or on the APNK library computers.
Ancestry will help you trace your family history. It contains extensive historical records from the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, including births, deaths, marriages, shipping records, and census data.
Once the records you need are located, you can email them to yourself in two easy steps!
Ancestry Library Edition is a read-only database. While it has powerful search engines that help you pinpoint genealogical records, you’ll need a personal Ancestry.com subscription to create and edit family trees, or to message or collaborate with other Ancestry.com users.
