Ancestry opens up British collections for weekend

PROMO EXPIRED 9 JUNE.
LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED.

To mark the Queen's birthday (actually, it's not her real birthday, it's her 'official' birthday, but there are more important things to quibble about), Ancestry is opening up a good-sized batch of British records for free until Monday. This is primarily aimed at researchers in Australia, where the birthday is a public holiday, so the timings are set to the clock in Oz. The promo expires on Monday 9 June at 11:59 AEST (ie 9 hours ahead of Dublin) .
