Many of the Web collections are provided in partnership with well-recognized free family history leaders like The National Archives or FamilySearch, and others come from smaller sites. There are two types of collections in this free section – those Ancestry owns and ‘Web’ collections provided by other sites. Their Free Index Collections page, linked to below, offers the ability to search and sort every single cost-free collection and provides a complete list of these collections at the bottom of the page. There is, however, a much easier way to find all 800+ free collections on Ancestry (up from 600+ 2 years ago), although they don’t make it very easy to locate. There is no way to limit results by membership level in this search–ie free vs discovery vs world explorer etc–and the only obvious sign that a record does not require payment is that its search result data is not censored.
