Ancestry Aid


Ancestry Aid is a free to register message board site, organised into an Information area, a Genealogy help area, Surnames of interest, Counties and other areas of interest, Census mis-transcriptions, and a General genealogy Board.

There is a private message system (maximum of 50 messages) and also a chat room.

You can place your tree on-line with ancestry aid, and registered members can search these trees. There is also a surname interests register.
The site has collected a small number of records for the 1941 census (partial collections for London, Hampshire and Norfolk) and some BMD data.

Ancestry-Aid was started in December 2005, and since then has registered over 6,500 members who have made over 70,000 postings in total on almost 9,000 topics.
What do you think about Ancestry Aid – is it worth using, have you had success stories, are there any catches etc? Please leave a comment.
