For those of us without individual subscriptions to Ancestry, below is an email I received from the Reference Librarian at my local library.  I was surprised to learn about the collections NOT included in Ancestry's Library Edition.  I had been under the impression that the Library Edition was the most comprehensive available.  Apparently not.   The item I was looking for over the weekend, on which several listers helped me out yesterday, was in the "Family and Local Histories" collection.   Ruth --- On Mon, 3/22/10, Christina Tropea <[email protected]> wrote: From: Christina Tropea <[email protected]> Subject: Your question about Ancestry Library Edition To: "'[email protected]'" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, March 22, 2010, 2:37 PM Hello Ruth,   I spoke with Ancestry today and they gave me a list of what is not included in library subscriptions. There is no option for us to add these components due to copyright issues.   Here’s the list:   Historical Newspapers Collections Family & Local Histories Obituaries PERSI Filby’s Passenger & Immigration Lists BGMI Freedman’s Bank Records N.J.
