Getting the best out of Ancestry

Ancestry.com is one of the major subscription databases for family history research. The library edition is available at the State Library and in public libraries throughout Western Australia. Its contents include 1841-1911 UK censuses, London parish records, US and Canadian census collections, Australian electoral rolls and passenger lists as well as New Zealand, European and US records.

This session outlines the top content and gives plenty of search tips for better results. A handout is provided and afternoon tea will be served.
