This group focuses on the platform’s vast resources, whether you are using a free or paid subscription. The group will help you get the most from Ancestry.com by discussing the best tools and techniques to use while researching and keeping you informed about any new records or features that are rolled out. Everyone is given the opportunity to ask questions and share their research experiences with Ancestry.com.

Note that Ancestry.com DNA topics are not covered in this group; instead, they are addressed in the DNA Special Interest Group.
