The available collections from AncestryLibrary are constantly growing. There are more than 11,600+ collections featuring billions of records to explore!
But did you know that there are now more global records than ever before? Users can access records from countries all over the world – from Indonesia to France to New Zealand and so many more.
For example, one of the most recently added collections is the Births, Marriages, and Deaths 1539-1893 from Haute Garonne, France. This collection, all in French, offers full digitized records from the region.
In fact, many records collections contain untranslated, primary source documents in their original languages – preserving content along with context.
Users have many ways to search and browse these collections. They even have the ability to broadly search by geographic region through an interactive map under the advanced search options. Maybe they know they have family in a small town in France, but using the map, they can protentially see documents from nearby towns which may expand their search.
Collections include not only vital records (birth/marriage/death) but also digitized reference & history books, directories, land records and more.
This ever growing resource is a treasure trove for genealogists, researchers, scholars and anyone who is even a little curious!
