Hi Maree, Once you have posted your tree on Ancestry, you can continue to look at your own tree even after your subscription has lapsed. You can also look at any records which you attached as source details to your tree. However, you cannot access any other records after your subscription has lapsed (with the exception of those records which are free to all) nor can you contact other tree owners if you think you have a match.

Hi Lynda, Thank you for your reply - I must admit I thought it bizarre that you couldn't access it - so I appreciate your response.
