To celebrate Memorial Day and the agreement between the National Archives (NARA) and http://www.ancestry.com/ to provide NARA documents on the Ancestry commercial web site, Ancestry will make all parts of their Military Records collection FREE from May 20 to May 31.
The Ancestry Military Collections home page is at http://landing.ancestry.com/military/collections.aspx. The Ancestry page concerning the National Archives is at http://landing.ancestry.com/military/nara.aspx.
The list of Military databases currently available on Ancestry is here.
This is good news for researchers who don't have easy access to the Ancestry database collection.
It will be interesting to see how much of a spike occurs in the Ancestry traffic as a result of the free access.
