I havent used my credt card for Ancestry. I use it as little as possible. Do they want the name on the card?

I have just taken up a new .kol email addy.

You might need a different credit card too. I'm not sure.

Well I went to bed, but didnt sleep well so I will leave it for a week or so as I have plenty of other things I can do this week. I had wondered about a new email addy, Heather when I was trying to sleep. I have 2 and I tried both. I will now have to get a third.

Thank you all for trying to help.

Get a new email addy - have you got hotmail or google mail? Then you can start afresh.

I logged out then tried and when I typed in my email addy it said there was already somebody using it and it wanted my password and I tried a couple and was told I was wrong both times. I think I will give up for tonight, have another go in the morning when I am a bit fresher. Or leave it for a month or so until I am in a better mood so I can be all sweetness when I contact the idiots with my family in their trees.

I can access those trees using my UK membership.

Good luck with this, you have an awful lot of work ahead of you

Yes, it says hope you enjoyed your 3 day free trial. That was almost a year ago.

I guess I will have to see if I can log out. Thanks for that advice.

Huia - log out of your existing account on Ancestry completely first and then try the above.

If you have had a free trial with the same account details before, it will not let you have another one.

I will see if I can get to the Ancestry home page, but other times I have tried it has taken me to my tree there.

Huia,

Go to Ancestry home page, fill in a name in the "Or start searching our collection" section. On the results page, click to open a result and the offer of a 14 day trial should come up.

It is probably the American Ancestry that I want.

I want to contact all the idiots who have my sister m to a man b in America in 1723. They have her b in Ireland (wrong) and as quite a few of them also have our parents I know that it is my sister that I have, besides which, Tui is a Maori name so it wouldnt have been given to somebody b in Ireland in (presumably) the 18th century. I think most/all of the people who have her are Americans.

It is soooo frustrating that they copy the hints that Ancestry gives without checking it out for themselves.

Depends what you're after. Are you looking for the UK, US, Canada or World subscription?

I was all set to take up a 14 day free trial this afternoon but I cant see anything on the site, just the subscription costs. Does anybody know what a 1 month subscription would be in $NZ? I am getting sooooo frustrated.
