You may have heard that Ancestry.com was going to be on Good Morning America on Thursday October 26, Wednesday November 1, Thursday November 2, and Friday November 3 . Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak blogged about this and Barbara Poole alerted me by email.
If you didn’t get a chance to see today’s episode tracing Chris Cuomo’s roots to Italy, the episode is available on the Good Morning America website as both an article and a video.
As part of Good Morning America’s Family History series, Ancestry.com is offering free access for 3 days . Just follow the link from the genealogy article on the Good Morning America website.
I signed in to Ancestry.com through the link on the Good Morning America page and, sure enough, I have access to all the Ancestry.com databases . I guess I’d better get to work . My three days will be up soon!

Steve,
Unfortunately, they are offering the freebie for ONLY the four databases contributed by researchers – the Ancestry World Tree, One world Tree, Personal Member Tree and Public Member Tree. Still, it’s a good visit if you haven’t searched those before (although OWT includes the WorldConnect database).
I tested it out by putting in “John Smith” to see what databases were included.
Cheers — Randy

I was WRONG…it is 3 days for the whole US subscription.
Someone (moi!) forgot to click on the “Search” tab at the top of the input box. I had the “Member Database” tab clicked for some reason.
Go forth and research…while I finish my humble pie.
Cheers — Randy
Thanks for the update, Randy! I finally clicked through and found that I have full access, too! I can understand your difficulty with the tabs, though. I’m still trying to wend my way through Ancestry.com with the ongoing changes to the organization of the site.
Three days is so little time, though!
