I chose not to go any further because they will give you a 2-week free trial and then start charging. This is ancestry's way of doing business. I do know one can access it for free at the Public Library if they have a subscription to it. I've done that before. Yes, I realized that the explanation came from the blog you mentioned. I went and read the same thing.

It probably all depends on where you live, as accessing it from Nova Scotia, requires that you register for "Free View for Free Accounts." if you don't have an account with ancestry.
