Researching Using Ancestry Library Edition

Presented by Wellington County Branch Ontario Ancestors

Join members of the Wellington County Branch, Ontario Ancestors and the Guelph Public Library’s Archivist to help you discover your family’s story. Please register. Adults.

Did you know that you can access Ancestry Library Edition at any of the Guelph libraries without a subscription and at no cost? This gives you access to billions of records such as census data, city directories, cemeteries, wills, immigration information, court records, military information, family histories, and birth, marriage, and death documents. Join members of the Wellington County Branch, Ontario Ancestors for a hands-on computer demonstration and workshop on getting started with Ancestry.

Bring your laptop or tablet and your questions on navigating Ancestry (library edition or the subscription-based edition) and we will help with search tips and shortcuts to assist you in discovering your family roots.
