how to convert an ancestry link to a free shared image

Question

I am not ancestry member. I use free sources. But, I know there is a wealth of information on the site, so now I have a question. I have been working on improving orphan profiles and I came across this gentleman:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Locke-601

In his profile is a goodly list of links to ancestry that I suspect would make his profile significantly more interesting. There is a lot of data available at FamilySearch, and I have included a link to that profile.

Can someone show me how to convert the links posted to shared images? Or if being a non-member makes that impossible, is there someone who would be willing to convert them to free shared images?

for example: http://trees.ancestry.com/rd?f=image&guid=4f37d66e-0fd1-4c98-9b66-0a8fad6cdeb6&tid=33585338&pid=754 

Answer 1

I don't know the source of that image, but I was able to find a different image of the same document on ancestry, after which I could share it. Here is the ancestry sharing link:

You can look at the source html for the sharing link, and in it find the link to the image, which needs to be modified by removing the "&maxWidth=520" at the end. This gives

Maybe the image you found originally came from FamilySearch. I tried searching the FamilySearch catalog, and found this page:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/735812

I haven't looked in any of the films.

I will look at the rest of them with this information and see what I can do - thank you!
