Whether you’re an Ancestry subscriber or not, here are 10 Free Things to Do On Ancestry.com. Using Ancestry’s own document, I follow their “10 Free Items you can do on Ancestry” without a paid subscription, including building a family tree totally for free. Also some tricks that even this experienced genealogist didn’t know existed.
