For Memorial Day weekend (now through midnight Monday), Ancestry.com is offering free access to its U.S. Military Records collection. If you’re interested, be sure to use this link: www.ancestry.com/cs/memorialday2015.

After you enter a search, you’ll be prompted to enter your email address and register for a free account. But this does not require you to supply a credit card number or cancel later. The free account is useful for message boards; more info is available in this article. It can be hard to find how to set up a free Ancestry account, so if you want one you can go in this way to get one. You don’t have to search military records if you have other burgers to fry.

Have a fun and safe weekend.
