I'd answer this privately, but others may be having the same problem. In the past, after signing into Ancestry, you stayed signed in, basically forever. Recently, Ancestry has been closing you when you exit the Internet, or 24 hours have passed. Or "other." It is not consistant. When you get one of these "free trial" messages through an e-mail link, you just need to sign in. There is usually a member log-in on the trial page. If not, go to their main page direct and sign in, minimize the site, then go back to your e-mail and try that page you wanted again. This is also true when you access the site directly, immediately enter your search and get names with blank data. Look at the top of the page, and you will probably find "welcome guest" rather than your name. Sign in.
