I believe that Ancestry recognizes a difference between an "account" and a "subscription". An account is free, and a subscription costs money. I had both my siblings submit saliva specimens to Ancestry (I ordered the kits) for DNA analysis. They each opened an "account" at Ancestry (at no cost) so that they could see the results of the analysis and also had access to my "public" tree. I have invited other non-subscribers to view my public tree, which they have done AFTER establishing an "account" with Ancestry.

I'll have to try that link. Then again it might not work for me because I have a current subscription. The only free option I have without a subscription is for my state (Pennsylvania). I have to login through a special link to access state records, but it doesn't work through my tree which is what I use to search for records. I have to use the main search page through that link which I hate because I have to manually enter everything. To me it's not worth the trouble just because it's free. -----Original Message----- From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Henry T.

I know that MOST of the searches and all of the "Hinting" is off limits until you begin to pay.

Using the link you provided I got a "Sign In to Ancestry" screen instead of viewing the person. On that basis it looks like Ancestry will not let anyone without an account view public trees. I did not bother going beyond that to see if there is a Free account option. Brian Kelly On 02-Jan-17 6:44 PM, William Boswell wrote: > Sorry. I meant to send this to Leonard only.
