I saw this on another list and tried it out. Use the link below to go to the ancestry site. When you get to the ancestry page, click on the second red box that reads something like "begin today". It will take you to a page to build your family tree. I'm not big on online trees - I just put in a name and then clicked next through the next several tree building pages until it said congratulations you've built your tree. Then went to the top of the page and started searching. (Thought I'd mention that). Anyway, here's the link to get 3 days of ancestry for free: >Access the entire Ancestry.com site for free for three days over the Christmas holiday. http://www.freegenie.net/holiday View census records Census Records & Images, Historic Newspapers, Birth Death & Marriage Records, Ships Passenger Lists, Family & County History Books, Old Yearbooks, City Directories, and more!
