Ancestry wants to celebrate King's Charles lll Coronation, a defining moment in UK history by offering free access to all UK records. So if you want to find out more about yourself and your family, this is a great place to start.
Science has come a long long way, and long gone are the days where information about your heritage starts and ends with a story told by senior members of the family.
Now, we are able to take matters into our own hands and find out some of that information for ourselves. So whether you're wanting to know exactly where you actually come from in the world or how your ancestors have shaped your family's story - Ancestry will help you reveal much of that story.
With Ancestry you can start by building a family tree and delving into the full UK records where some of the data dates back as far as 1404!
To start your free search of the full UK records, all you need to do is head to Ancestry.co.uk.
Uncover personal details including full names, job titles and places they lived - and all you need is just a name to start. You'll be able to trace your family's history through the reigns of previous monarchs and key events in time such as the Victorian era, World War l, the sinking of the Titanic, the creation of the NHS, the Windrush Generation and so much more.
The offer of free access to all UK records ends on Monday 8th May so don't delay. There's no need to panic if the free access ends, if you want to continue your search, why not sign up to a 14-day free trial?
