I haven't used Ancestry.com in about a year or more and I'm thinking about dropping a few dollars to get back into the game for the winter months. Is anyone using it that can let me know if it has been expanded in a significant way that might make it practical to sign up again? Mostly interested in Northern Italy and England / Ireland.
Thanks, Joe B.

I took a subscription two months ago, because they have the civil records of my fathers town.

I am not sure we all see the same main page, but if you scroll to the bottom, you will see a list of what is new. At the bottom of that list, I believe it says "see more". Click that and a huge list appears. If you dont have that on your main ancestry page, let me know here and I will paste it for you.

Thanks Eleven, I will check it out...

I just realized (because I went to look) that if you were interested in what they had for italy, you may not have found it..since the list doesnt continue.

The way to search for italy..is to go to card catalog (i think its in the search tab, up top). Type in Italy. I copied the list and hope I can paste it here..but, this is how you find what they have for italy, in future searches.

You're welcome, Joe. I try to keep an eye out for new Italian records and I post them here. They seem to be adding a lot of new info.
