Ancestry Library Edition

April 21, 2020

Access Ancestry.com at https://ancestrylibrary.com

There are a few difference between Ancestry.com (the at-home commercial version) and ALE:

  • As there is only a single login for the entire town, it is not possible to customize it by adding family trees.
    • It is possible to view other people’s trees.
    • Users can print or save files or screenshots and build their trees on other free services.
  • Patrons must use the site at the library.
    • They may use a library computer or their own computer while on the library’s wireless network.
  • ALE is the “global” version with the full record set.

For additional information, send an email to rfl@newport.lib.nh.us
