Wow, that sounds like an internet ad banner if I’ve ever seen one.  You can also win a free iPod and matching T-Shirt.

Actually, if you live in Colorado, Ancestry.com is free.  Most public libraries and Family History Centers all over the country (world?) have a subscription you can use while at their facilities.  However, the Boulder Public Library lets you use it from home!  You need a library card, which is free to anyone with a Colorado address.

Since it’s a library subscription, you miss out on some features (saving documents in your shoebox … linking historical documents to your Ancestry.com hosted family tree … etc).  But if you’re budget minded, it’s a pretty sweet dealio.

Update April 2010: Looks like they got wise to our ploy, and it no longer works from home.  It is still free when you are inside a library branch.
