*Ancestry.com Family History Toolkit
This last week, Ancestry.com released a free genealogy toolkit. It is simply a PDF file containing a list of (and links to) free resources offered by Ancestry.com. I’m all over free. Some may lead to free resources that lead to Ancestry.com subscription resources, such as state resource guides. But that should be surprising to no one. Any credible guide to genealogy today is going to end up, sooner or later, pointing you to resources on Ancestry.com’s subscription website.
Here’s a sampling of the available offerings listed in the toolkit:
Free Charts & Forms
Ancestry Red Book: American State, County & Town Sources (Online reference)
Irish Research in the U.S. and Ireland (Free downloadable PDF guide)
5-minute Finds (Short videos)
County Look-up
