Subscription genealogy site Ancestry.com announced that its top collections of old military records will be FREE to access in honor of Veterans Day. The free access period ends Nov. 11 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
The free records include all US wars and some global collections, though the focus is on World War I, which began 100 years ago this past July. Featured collections include:
World War I Draft Registration Cards
U.S. World War I Mothers' Pilgrimage Lists
World War I, World War II and Korean War Casualty Lists
The "Start Free Trial" link at the top of the free military records landing
page might be confusing. You don't have to actually start a free trial,
which requires entering payment information, to access the free military
records.
Instead, either log into the free basic Ancestry.com account you already
have, or scroll down on the landing page, run a search, click on a matching
record you want to view, and create a free basic account when you're
prompted.
