I don't think this is quite as advertised. I tried a known name, place etc for a "Free Probate" record (Harry Homer Fagg, d. Maverick Texas) and it asked for my name and email address to send the info. They would provide me a password. I said no thank, which took me to a list of HHFagg's records, which said I could either "Preview" or "see the record". Clicking on either asked me again to register with name and email. The small print indicated I must abide by Ancestry's privacy policies.
Figured that's a hook, so no go from here
Maybe I am doing something wrong?
