What a great idea for a web site! http://www.freeonancestry.com/ lists all of the databases that are FREE on www.Ancestry.com. I assume that they will keep it up-to-date.
Looking through the list, the most notable databases (most with images of the records) are:
1) England, Wales, Channel Islands and Isle of Man census for 1881 and 1901.
2) England and Wales Civil Registration (Birth, Marriage, Death) indexes, 1837-1983, and 1984 to 2004.
3) 1880 US Federal Census Records
4) World War I Draft Registration Records
There are many more, in categories of US, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Other countries, Surnames, and Research Guides and Tools. Go browse through them all at http://www.freeonancestry.com/.
You might add it to your Favorites or Bookmarks and try to visit every week or so to see what freebies have been added.
