Pauline,
What do you mean?
When you say you can view UK stuff too?
How can I do that?

Once you have registered for the free trial and are on the .ca page, use the .uk link at bottom of the page. You can then search the UK site.

Nothing in it at all fo r me

The newspaper images could be good, I search by names, but the finds are not real, you scour the pages, and the names entered are not there

I'm not bothering any more

Well with thanks to Pauline and Susan and all, I am having a lovely time getting whatever I want in any part of the world, images whatever!!
hope it lasts the 3 days.
Did take a littlew hile to understand that when you enter a name an INDEX shows to give a page where that name may be found.
got it now though

Thank you Susan for pointing out the "free" time on Ancestry. 

I had a great time finding census information for England and Scotland, (images of certs for England), as well as birth certs etc., for Canada. I also managed to find quite a bit of infomation that I needed on my U.S. relatives.

Unfortunately my three days are now over.  :'(

For anyone who hasn't tried it yet, it is well worth the look.

Thanks again!
