Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, ProQuest is offering home access to Ancestry Library Edition to all Eastern Shore Public Library patrons until April 30.
Simply go to this page on our website: https://espl.org/ancestrylibrary/
The password is the first 5 digits of your library card number. If you have any trouble with access, call us at 757-787-3400, or email espl@espl.org.
Besides some limitation of records, one of the main differences between Ancestry and Ancestry Library Edition is that with Library you cannot create a tree.

Family history is a great way to teach history to kids as you research what life may have been like for your ancestors. It’s personalized history
