Ancestry Library Edition remote access ending December 23, 2021

In March 2020, ProQuest & Ancestry graciously provided libraries with remote access to Ancestry Library Edition at no extra cost so that library customers could continue with their genealogy and family research during shutdowns due to COVID.  ProQuest & Ancestry continued to extend that access during the last 20 months.  Now that libraries are re-opening and adding more services, ProQuest & Ancestry has made the decision to end remote access.

Charlotte Mecklenburg Library will return to our previous service model of offering access to Ancestry Library Edition for in Library use on December 23, 2021.  Please visit any of our twenty locations to access Ancestry Library Edition after this date.  For customers wanting to maintain remote access from a similar product, HeritageQuest (powered by Ancestry) is the best solution.

For questions about Ancestry Library Edition or any of our other resources, please contact your local branch or contact our staff by email, chat and phone.

Access all the Library’s resources for free with your Library card.  Don’t have one?  Sign up here!
