I was able to use it one day. If this was just for a restricted area they should have mentioned it, or only made it available in a certain area. I am lucky in that my local library has access to this, I just have to use it there. PS I think Ancestry use to be free (about two years ago) and they put five new books on line every week and that was great. It may have been something else entirely. Lets all submit as much as we can to usgenweb.com as it IS free and has some good info on it. Varies by state, county according to what has been submitted.
