Ends 23:59 Mountain Time on Monday 14th, which I make to be 06:59 BST on Tuesday 15th.
You need a (free) account, but can sign in with an Ancestry UK one of any level. Since I was already signed in to Ancestry, clinking on "Sign in with Ancestry" got me in without further ado, but I had to spend rather a while staring at a blank popup.
There is a basic Search box at the top of the page, but if you scroll to the bottom, there's a
Search Now button that gives you access to more specific records and browsing.
Some records may be available free elsewhere at all times, so check before spending all your time in one place.
As always with free periods, save anything of interest on your own device, as you'll need a sub to see it online after the offer closes.
