JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen (Canada) Ancestry Free Access Occupational Records Through September 2 #general
Jan Meisels Allen
Ancestry Canada is offering free access to their occupational records
through September 2 11:59 PM ET in honor of Labor Day. Registration is required-with name, email address and password. No credit card information is requested. If you try to access the featured collection after the free access period ends you will be invited to subscribe to Ancestry's World Deluxe membership. That is also true if you try to access records not included in the featured collection. Occupational records include nursing registers, railway employment, medical registers, merchant seamen death records and more. As occupation is included in census and voters lists these records appear in the featured collection. To access the website and registration go to: https://www.ancestry.ca/cs/labourday To see the featured collections go to: https://www.ancestry.ca/search/categories/labor_day_canada Once the record(s) you request appear, you can save it to your computer by clicking on the green save button on the upper right corner. The tool icon on the right will let your print or download to your computer. If you click on the 14-day free trial, that is not the Labor Day Free Access and you will be required to provide your credit card information. I have no affiliation with Ancestry and am posting this solely for the information of the reader. Jan Meisels Allen Chairperson, IAJGS Public Records Access Monitoring Committee |
