Subscription based resource of worldwide census, marriage, newspaper and various other records. Includes some free searchable databases, columns and articles, gedcoms, and forums.

Usage Tips

Ideally, this Source should be used rarely, if ever. Ancestry.com is a Repository of other Sources (censuses, vital records, newspapers, individual family trees, etc.) Those Sources all have their own Source pages here, or should have them created. Accordingly, links to this page should be mere placeholders and replaced as soon as better information is found, except in the rare cases where the cited information is actually content created by Ancestry.com. In those cases, additional specific citation information should be added to the Source detail fields to enable other users to find the information.

Alternatives

If the information was found in a user-submitted tree, the source should probably be:

• Source:Ancestry.com Public Member Trees or
• Source:Ancestry.com - Ancestry World Tree or
• Source:Ancestry.com - OneWorldTree
