Can I get an ID on this wood pile?

We've been offered this pile of wood for free, and the unedeucated guess is that it's some kind of Elm. Perhaps Chinese?

I was wondering if anyone who actually has any idea might be able to give us an idea of what this is and if it's worth taking. It might be nice to add to the wood pile to get seasoning, and free is always a pretty good price.

 
Video kind of fuzzy but looks like:
ash (pointing), Siberian(?) elm (leaves with fruit single samara), perhaps cottonwood too ?
 
Looks like all kinds of stuff. Average hardwood I'd say.
 
The video is tough. I'm guessing elm or ash.
