Findmypast had a free records weekend recently, and now it’s Ancestry’s turn, and they’re offering ALL of their immigration records free for everyone to use from 2-5 October, which at least for some Australian states, is a long weekend. So this is perfect timing!
While this is only a portion of their records, there’s a lot available as you’ll see from the data collections listed below.
To view these records you will need to register for free with Ancestry.com.au with your name and email address, and they will then send you a username and password to access the records.
*Access to the records in the immigration collections will be free until 11.59 pm Monday 5 October 2015 AEDT.
