Dear Friends: I got the following e-mail from Ancestry and am passing it along in case any of you are using the free military records: It was a historic day for Ancestry.Com. Dear Friend, Todays massive launch of military records and historical newsreels was a big hit in the press. So much so that Ancestry.Com experienced record traffic and some of our valued members experienced slow-downs and other issues on the site. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Were working nonstop to get Ancestry.Com up and running in top form. Please check back with us soon to access the exciting new Military Collection and the rest of our collections. Thank you for your patience, Andrew Wait General Manager, Ancestry.Com
