Worth it if you use it! by going to http://www.ancestry.com/ check the menu to the right and you'll see "What's New At Ancestry.com" click on and you will see 1901 and 1906 Canada Censuses Ancestry.com is already home to the first and only fully indexed 1911 Census of Canada. And now you can trace your Canadian ancestors one step further back in time, thanks to the 6 million new names in the 1901 Census of Canada and the 1906 Census of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. on the main page under "More Collections" to the right of the US Census, you'll note UK Census Collection and also "see all databases." When you click ion all databases, you can type in United Kingdom or choose to 'browse' the database. by typing in United Kingdom, View Record 1851 United Kingdom Census Sample Census Records England 994,793 View Record United Kingdom and Ireland Obituary Collection Birth, Marriage, & Death Records Ireland 60,170 View Record Peerage of the United Kingdom and Ireland, Volumes I-IV Family & Local Histories Ireland 2,630 View Record United Kingdom County Families Family & Local Histories England 1,209 View Record The county families of the United Kingdom, or, Royal manual of the titled and untitled aristocracy of Great Britain and Ireland Family & Local Histories Ireland 1,175 View Record United Kingdom, Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts, Fifth Report Reference & Finding Aids England 679 If you choose to browse, scroll down to the alphabet and for instance, click on the E for England ... my word! the number of things that come up. do the same for I "Ireland" or S for "Scotland" --- etc. I think you'll find that there are a great number of listings. If you are not a subscriber, then to http://ancestry.couponcart.com/ancestry.htm?bfinfo=109411 for a free trial. Go to the home page and tool around ... read the helps, etc. You'll get some who will complain about the cost. It is not 'cheap,' but do remember that it take $$$ to run this site and pay employees who are working at updating it every day --- you would not work for nothing, would you? Again I say, that if you use it, it is worth the price. If you are just toying around with it on rare occasion, then it is not. Many are looking only for freebies - nothing wrong with that - but everything in life is not free. Hope this has helped.
