The regular census on the site is faster - really faster. This a special promotion thing they set up - and the search is totally different than the regular search on the site - which doesn't require flash or anything. But, that I can find, there's no "free for 3 days" on the regular search - just on this special one that they set up to promote the census completion. You could do a regular 14 day free trial - and access the regular search on the site (as well as the rest of ancestry), but then it will ask you for your credit card and will bill your credit card at the end of 14 days if you don't call and cancel. -----Original Message----- From: ewintr <ewintr@yahoo.com> To: PALANCAS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 10:02:04 -0700 (PDT) Subject: RE: [PALANCAS] 1930census free 3 days --- ewintr <ewintr@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello, > > Thank you for the reply.
