I have not subscribed to ancestry before and remember reading various threads a while back with different offers for taking out a subscription. Cabn anybody advise please the best package to subscribe to, are there any current offers on??.........also people mentioned that it was cheaper to purchase a subscription via another site, but I cant remember for the life of me, what the name was............I knwo this has beena sked before, but I was not able to find the thread so apologies for repeating.........just wanted to know if people had recently subscribed.

thanks
Paul

I think it is quidco ?

Paul if you are ever wanting to look for previous threads about anything do an advanced search.

Yellow box on the left

quidco.com gives you 25% cash back of the sub you pay.

quidco............thats the one..........I know in the past people have got all sorts of prices and deals, dependant upon who you speak to etc at ancestry........which is the best package for the uk??

Well depends on what you want - if you only want the census and bmds then the basic one - if you want the whole caboodle including Pallots, army records etc then go for the deluxe. Go to quidco.com register with them then log in and enter ancestry in the search, use the link to go to them from quidco and see what they offer in terms of packages. Just sub to them as you would normally and then the deal should track and you will receive the 25% cash back (oh less a fiver for membership) Ive had over £750 cash back in 2 years from quidco.com

Have you had a free 14 day trial already?

Thanks heather

is there any benefit to upgrading to the worldwide membership or is the essentials enough

If you click on "subscribe" it explains the difference between the three levels of membership.
For these you have to pay more.

Access invaluable pre-1837 Parish and Probate records (Good)
Explore our Irish record collections*** Single annual payment of £107.40
Gain access to all Ancestry's global record collections - including Australia, Canada and the USA*** Single annual payment of £155.40

thanks Jim, I would guess that initially the essentials package looks enough to be going on with, just wondered if anybody has renewed lately and has had the price discounted at all??

I'm expecting an email as I am due to renew next month

if anybody has renewed recently and has managed to get a reduction then let us know

Paul, you can get a free 14 days trial.
