Following a customer consultation, Hampshire Library Service has taken the decision to cancel the subscription to ancestry.co.uk, so, at some point in the future, this will no longer be available through the free digital access in Hampshire libraries.
In the questionnaire, Hampshire Library Service proposed a cancellation, stating that this was a service that "duplicates Find my Past". This rather unfortunate wording resulted in 74% of respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing with the statement; another 12% were indifferent.
It's a shame - but I understand there is limited money to go round.
