    Ancestry.com, 2 weeks ago removed many features for AncestryDNA customers that were previously free. Perhaps this is a sweetener to quieten those on the web complaining about this recent change.
    It's worth reading this before you invest too heavily in an Ancestry.com full subscription

  …or you could sign up for Trove and do you research there. If you decide to do that, help the archive by correcting some of the artificial intelligence conversions.

  I found some interesting articles relating to ancestors. This relates to the cop who harassed them (for such things as being 9YO and unemployed):

    Trove is great, but they don't have newspapers like The Age/SMH and their archive for newspapers mostly stops around 1955 due to copyright. I tend to use Newspapers.com to find articles from the 60s/70s/80s/90s, and it also includes papers from UK and US of course. Other alternatives are Google Newspapers which is incomplete and a nightmare to search, or a few other text-based services through libraries, but Newspapers.com is pretty easy to use.
