Explore Your Family Tree From Your Smartphone—And Save!

Summer time is family time! Picnics, reunions, graduation ceremonies and Father’s Day—it’s wonderful to have so many occasions to get everyone together. I love these gatherings for their lively conversations, and am always surprised by how many delightful new stories I hear about my family’s history from aunts, uncles, and cousins who I simply don’t get to see enough.

Learning about your ancestry is fascinating and deeply rewarding. Traditionally, however, it has also required a big commitment of time and energy. It took countless hours doing research in libraries or government offices, filling out endless forms to get copies of documents, or writing letters to distant relatives in the hopes of filling in the blanks.

Not anymore. Now you can access and share records, photographs, and memories—and even connect with relatives you never knew you had—right from your Android smartphone or iPhone! Downloading the Ancestry app links you to birth, marriage, death, census, military and other records, so you can locate important information quickly and easily. There’s even access to passenger lists and border crossing records to help you trace immigrant ancestors.

The app does require a paid subscription to use. But for a limited time, Consumer Cellular customers who are AARP members are being offered a 30% discount on a one-year “World Explorer” level subscription. It provides unlimited access to more than 20-billion U.S. and international records.

In addition, you’ll get step-by-step instructions so you can start making discoveries from day one. Connect to millions of other Ancestry users, ask questions, get ideas, and identify and even contact relatives you discover along the way. Plus with the app’s simple online tools, it’s easy to organize, preserve, and share the information you find, as well as upload and share your own photos or documents to help others.

Genealogy has never been easier! If you’ve been searching for a convenient way to unearth all the roots and branches of your family tree, this special offer is a great way to get started. You can learn more, or sign up and take advantage of the exclusive 30% savings, here. Enjoy the thrill of discovery—you simply never know what you might find!
