To honour our Anzac Day commemoration, Ancestry is providing access to their Australian and New Zealand military records free of charge between now and Sunday, 28 April 2019. If you don't already have an account with Ancestry, you will need to provide your email address and establish a password to access the records. You will be prompted for this information when you search for a name. As far as I can tell, you won't need to provide any credit card details for this purpose.

Happy Easter everyone. You'll be pleased to hear Ancestry in the UK has free access to Irish and Commonwealth records this Easter weekend. It finishes midnight Monday night GMT. By my calculation the free access finishes at: 10 am Tuesday morning on the Australian east coast; 9 pm Sunday evening in New York City; 5 pm Sunday afternoon on the Canadian west coast; Above : Ancestry.co.uk's home page over Easter.
