U.S. War Bounty Land Warrants, 1789-1858

Are you looking for information on Revolutionary to pre-Civil War ancestors? This database is a great place to start.

If you have ancestors who served in these wars, you will probably find something of interest in this collection.

British Phone Books, 1880-1984 Releases 1-3 - Updated

You will also find advertisements for local businesses which can provide a fun look into the culture of the time. Phone books can be great for pinpointing individuals in a particular place and time between census records.

U.S. Indian Census Schedules, 1885-1940

Native Americans comprise a rich and colorful part of U.S. history. Beginning in 1885, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs began taking a census of Native Americans living on reservations. Collected data can include Indian and English names, birthdates, tribal affiliations and relationships to heads of family. The Indian Census continued until the early 1940s, often counting a reservation annually. For the first time, these records can be found online at Ancestry.com with more than 7.5 million Native American names.

Ancestry has added passenger ship descriptions and images to its collections. You’ll get useful information about the ships your ancestors came to America on, and usually see a photograph or picture of that ship. This makes a great addition to an immigration record. For each ship listed in this database, there is a description of it containing information about the shipping line, ship type, dimensions, history etc.
