-or as we in Yorkshire might say "summat fer nowt" !! An article in today's 'Yorkshire Post' states that North Yorkshire County Council's library service has signed up with Ancestry.com to give library users the opportunity to research their family history on 400 computers in the county's libraries. All Ancestry online data will be accessible. This free service means users do not have to pay individual subscription fees. Enjoy. Michele

Michele, Darlington in Co. Durham has had this service for about a year now and it is available in the local studies 2 computers plus all 25 computers in the E-room. However it is not free, the first half hour is free and thereafter each half hour costs 1 pound. Printing copies is 10 pence. I agree though that this is great for casual users, Terry. -----Original Message----- From: eng-north-yorks-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-north-yorks-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of michele Sent: 16 May 2007 23:18 To: eng-yorkshire@rootsweb.com; eng-north-yorks@rootsweb.com Subject: [ENG-NORTH-YORKS] Free access to online records. -or as we in Yorkshire might say "summat fer nowt" !!
