Default Library access to Ancestry family trees

I have had a question from a lady who wants to access her Ancestry family tree from a library computer.

Obviously a library computer has its own sign in to Ancestry. Someone at the library tried but failed to find her tree. She can do it from home with her own sign-in details.

I'm going up to the library later this week to see if I can access my own tree for editing purposes but it is private.

The library edition does not have all the features the domestic subscriptions do. At TNA, for example, they only had access to certain databases, but not all of them for the UK.

You could view databases for free at the library, but I'm not sure that you have access to trees unless you log on as an individual.

You won't be able to edit your own tree unless you are logged into your own account, Elizabeth.

That's what I thought. Thanks, Phoenix and Kate.

She is finding Ancestry expensive and wanted to let her subscription lapse as long as she could still access her tree. She doesn't have it anywhere else.

She should still be able to access her own tree from her own account even without a subscription, but she won't be able to view any records which she has attached to it.
