Well, my 3 days were over yesterday, but I'm still chuffing along.
Maybe because of time difference in Southern Hemiphere.

I've still got access too - have had some success. I've got lots to do but am spending all my time searching to take advantage of the free time. I first got in on Saturday and it's now Wednesday - a very generous three days I think!

I haven't been able to do any work for three days. Having exhausted my own known ancestors, I'm now looking up distant relatives of my friends...

Thanks again to original post.

I have been spending far more time than I should have on the computer (hence time at present - should be in bed) since starting the 'free trial' on Friday night.  Having exhausted most of my Scottish Census searches that I needed and trying to squeeze out any last remaining finds before the trial ended, I had a surprise but very welcome find.

I wandered into the One World Tree section and found someone with one of my sets of great great great grandparents on their tree. It seems a well documented tree so I am hopeful that it is indeed a genuine link (and hopeful that the person's email address is current).

Glad everyone else has been enjoying themselves too.

Thanks again.

scotmum  ;D, but very tired.

ps

I still seem to be able to use the site...mmm...will I go to bed or not  :-\...tempting.

I just tried to quickly logout and then in again and got to a certain point and the notice said

'Our records show you have had your 3 days ......'etc.

 There's no tricking Ancestry!!

Success at last. Finally got into ancestry.ca during their free day offer earlier this morning.

Couldn't locate a paternal g grandfather but did find other two other relatives in the 1851 census.  :)

Hopefully I will be able to get back in again during the free offer.
