My Grandmother was born in Tidnish / Amherst area in 1909 and she had several siblings. Her name was Ellen Melvina Bugley (Binnall) . She emigrated to the U.S , Boston Mass area until her death in 1985. I recently got on a genealogy kick. Her parents names were Amos Higgins and Mary (Chase) Bugley.
I am just trying to connect with relatives which I have never met. Also looking for some family history.
Thanks for any and all information

I did a quick search of the family trees on Ancestry(.com/.ca) since I currently have a paid subscription there. 6 people have created family trees which include an Ellen Bugley:
Birth 28 Nov 1909 New Glasgow, Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada
Marriage 1940 Newton, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA
Residence 1950 Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA
Death 23 Nov 1985 Newton, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA
Father Amos H Bugley (1879-1947)
Mother Mary Elizabeth Chase (1880-1946)
Spouse Thomas "Billy" Binnall (1909-1969)
Spouse Alton Albert Bugley(1904–1988)
Registering at Ancestry.com is free but you need a subscription to see trees that others have created and to message any tree owners. However, if you register you’ll probably be offered a 15 day free trial subscription (be sure to cancel it before it expires or your credit card will automatically be charged on a monthly basis).
I often subscribe to the monthly plan and then cancel a couple of days later. That still gives me the month I paid for but stops the subscription from automatically rolling over to the following month.

I forgot to mention, if you make contact with a tree owner, you can ask for an invitation to their tree. If they agree, they will send you a link which has been generated by Ancestry. Click on that link and you are a member of their tree. That means you will always be able to view that specific tree in future without a paid Ancestry subscription.
Also, although without an Ancestry subscription you cannot initiate a message exchange, you can receive and reply to messages that have been sent to you.
There is an exception. If you have a DNA test done at Ancestry, as far as I know you can still initiate a message exchange with any your DNA relatives that Ancestry had found. Many won’t respond though as they take the test only to determine their ethnicity mix.
