Have Ancestry sub but only Britain.

Does anybody know if I download say a Canadian census record to my Ancestry tree will I still be able to view the detail after the end of the free offer or will it revert to the screen as it does now of offering me a worldwide upgrade?

May be best bet is not to download to my tree but to my computer - will that work after then end of the free period?

Thanks, Pheno

Thanks Ladyhawk for letting us know.

Pheno - Like you I only have a sub for Britain. Probably, after end of free offer they will expect you to upgrade to Worldwide.

If you download to your computer instead of to your Ancestry tree hopefully that will work. I am going to give it a try myself.

Noted!! Thank  you.

I always download to my computer, that way you have the records even after the access ends.   

There is usually an option to download to pc with the other options on any images.

I guess by missing out 'all' may mean only the 3 mentioned?
