Find out who you are
10/10/2006
If you are one of the many thousands who tuned into the return of the BBC’s popular family history series ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ last month, you might like to know that you can now trace your own history, free, with Ancestry.co.uk.
Ancestry.co.uk, the UK's leading genealogy website, was used in the series to help celebrities find their ancestors, including the revelation that Barbara Windsor is distantly related to the great painter John Constable.
Ancestry.co.uk will be providing free access to the complete 1901 census for England and Wales while the series is on, which will provide an invaluable starting point for anyone who is curious about their ancestors, and wants to know more about their family history.
The site receives over three million visitors per month, and access to 500 million authentic UK records and seven complete censuses for England and Wales, as well as a growing collection of Scottish records. It is now the only UK genealogy site to offer free access to the entire birth, marriages and deaths index for England and Wales from 1837 to the present day.
This will provide an invaluable resource for amateur family historians, particularly beginners, to trace their ancestors.
