Can someone tell me what they paid to join Ancestry.co.I was just looking at the free trial for someone and it said after the trial it was 29.95 for a year.Im sure I paid much more than that.Have they reduced the price to keep us hooked.I wasnt going to renew at the old price.

During the trial period you can upgrade to a 1 year subscription to the UK & Ireland collection (which basically gets you unlimited access to available censuses and BMD look up) for around US$30 to $40. This is versus a US$100 price if you sign up cold from the Ancestry web site for the same service. Unless you have specific needs to research outside UK records, you DON'T need a general Ancestry subscription IMO. As an existing Ancestry subscriber you should be able to get the same pricing, though you may need to dig around a bit on the Ancestry web site to find it. Cheers, Bill Sydney, Australia

Thanks Bill wish I had known that.I paid the full price grrrrr.

Hi Margaret I am paying about 30 quid a quarter for the British Ancestry - I had no idea the American half was so much cheaper . ................ typical! But no use to me! Bev

Hi Bill. Contacted Ancestry re: different costs.They told me I had paid $59.95.US dollars I guess.However I was charged 59.95 pounds (no pound sign) $163 nz.I asked if I cancelled ( after contract ended) could I get Ancestry at 29.95 as the offer suggested.They replied suggesting a no. to use to cancel.Ignored the other bit about the renewal price.I went to look for the free trial and noticed the 29.95 for the year is removed.Now its that price per quarter.Where did you see it advertised for US$30-40?.I looked at the web page but cant find anywhere to get the cheaper price as you said. Margaret

well I joined ancestry.com a lot cheaper than the UK one and I can access all the info on the UK one too

I never paid that much about £70 for a year well worth it

the US one but you can still use the UK one with the same password its cheaper because its something to do with the exchange rate I believe I know it was about £10 cheaper than the UK one I would email them first it is well worth it they have a lot of info

emailed you in case you dont see this just had a look its £69.95 per year on the UK one

just had a thought go to ancestry.com and try a search it will then say subscribe to get this info and you will then see how much it will be
