More than 550 million records from Fold 3, covering military conflicts dating back to the Revolutionary War, will also be available to search and view without charge until 11:59pm ET on Monday 25 May.
And thirdly, nearly 500 million records and images from the National Archives and Records Administration (including all 36 million of the USA's World War II Young Man’s Draft Cards) will be searchable on Ancestry, free, until Monday 1 June.
