You don’t need any special skills to get started on Ancestry. You can start with just your name, and then add in any names, dates or places you know about your parents and grandparents into your family tree. If you can, speak to relatives and ask them about your ancestors. Members of your family may remember important details or have family heirlooms, records or photos that can help you start building your family tree.
-
An Ancestry® membership gives you access to historical records that can help you build and expand your family tree. It's usually best to start your tree with yourself and work your way backward, adding any names, dates or places you know about your parents and grandparents into your family tree. Your tree is the best way to store and organize the records you find.
-
The records you can view on Ancestry depend on the membership package that you choose e.g. you can only see the full international record collection if you subscribe to a World Explorer or All Access membership. You can discover and add records for family members and ancestors to your family tree. However, as privacy laws vary around the world, in some countries, such as the U.K., if there isn’t a confirmed date of death, records containing personally identifiable information are redacted or obscured until 100 years after the date of birth of an individual. This is to ensure we don’t share any personal information of living individuals. Due to our privacy rules, you won’t be able to see living people in other Ancestry member trees, unless the owner of the tree shares.
-
All records are transcribed in the language found on the original document.
-
Subscribing to Ancestry emails can help keep you informed about new records and features, product improvements, tips from expert genealogists, success stories, special promotions and more.
-
Living people in your family tree are always hidden from other Ancestry members by default. You control all other privacy settings on your family tree. You can choose to make your family tree public, which allows other members to review your tree. Having a public tree enables you to collaborate on researching shared ancestors with other Ancestry members.
