Ancestry.com is issuing daily mystery genealogy challenges and that come with chances
to win prizes. Use the site’s death records
collections to answer a challenge (or you could just wing it) and you’ll be entered
into a Nov. 2 grand prize drawing for a new iPad.

New challenges will be available Oct. 19, 22, 24, 26, 29, and 31.  If you answer
the challenge correctly, you’ll either be entered into a prize drawing for that challenge
(Monday and Wednesday challenges) or receive a bonus entry for the grand prize drawing
(Friday challenges).

Challenge prizes include gift certificates, Ancestry.com subscriptions and a DNA test
(scroll
down and click the terms and conditions link on this page to see the list of prizes).
