accessing the census records
« on: Sunday 24 May 09 10:50 UTC (UK) »
Does one have to be a paid up member of Ancestry.com to be able to see the census records?     I was, but am trying to rein in the costs so have dropped membership - now I don't seem to be able to access even the records I saved to my personal trees.   Roll Eyes     maybe I'll have to rejoin!   Tongue

I believe you do have to have paid membership to view the census images. I usually save them onto my computer so I always have them to hand. I do this with scotlandspeople as well. That way if you lose them from one source then there is always a back up.

Thanks for that - i did think when I saved the records to my computer on my private tree that I'd be able to get back to see them - not so!

Ah well! Tongue

As a member of Ancestry.co.uk I thought when I downloaded my file from their database onto Family Tree Maker software (which is Ancestry's software) the census records saved with individuals on the tree would download too but they don't.  I have had to reinstall them all.
