Hello Diane Sorry, I just re-read and I got it back words. You check at home then try at the library. Still with my Library, I get many US Directories. It could be different library subscription levels? Have you asked the local library persons for assistance. I know most are eager to help. As a test (if you are not already), don't do the global search. Select only the database wanted from the 1st page. Or click on the link to show all databases then find the directories.

Since I do not have a subscription I sometimes research Ancestry at my library. After checking the newest databases from my computer I wrote down what I needed to check out & to research.

I made no mistake, I copied it correctly so have no idea why I couldn't find them at my library. >> >> Does anyone know, is it possible Ancestry Library Edition & Ancestry.com are different? I did try to find out on my own searching through Ancestry, I wasn't able to find anything pertaining to this. Your help will be greatly appreciated. >> Thank you! >> >> Diane
