Step-by-step guide to building your family tree
The 1911 census has just published online for the first time, making building your family tree easier than before.

The 1911 census is now available at www.1911census.co.uk and will help thousands of people find out more about their ancestors lives, detailing their jobs, who they lived with and their social status.

Help!!! I have attempted to use the link www.ancestry.co.uk/womansweekly as per the advertisment in issue 16th June. However this only brings me to the normal 14 day free page and not the half price offer. I would appreciate your help. Jenny Osborne.
