Dear friends of Beara, >From this morning's Irish Genealogy News: Ancestry UK's collection of one billion Irish and UK records will be free until Sunday 7 June at 23:59hrs GMT (which translates into Irish/British Summer Time as Monday 8 June at 00:59). It's a straightforward 'free access' process. You have to register with name and email address but no financial information is requested - you just go direct to searching for your ancestors. When the free access period ends, you will need a subscription to Ancestry.co.uk to view the records.
