Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the De-luxe and Platinum versions please? There is quite a difference in the cost and I'd like to know if it's worth it!

Researching:
Hill, Jewell - Cornwall. Langley-Shropshire,Cole, Neate -Wiltshire,Lott, Ewell- Kent.Punter, Gadd, Wapshott, White, Weston - Surrey. To say nothing of the other half's family!

According to the site below, Deluxe £29.95 has 3 months subscription to Ancestry included , Platimum £39.50 has 6 months Ancestry subscription

Platinum is much better value.

Christine & Christine,

That's the 2009 edition which has been slated for poor performance.
Below is the 2010 edition which is reputed to be better.
Christine is correct in that it's 3 months Ancestry V 6 months Ancestry with some minor added extras on the Platinum ..........have a look.

Thank you, thats a really big help. Now I really want it! Question is, can I wait for someone to buy it for me for Christmas, or will I have to buy it now?

2008 had bugs, and missing functionality, these were fixed in 2009. 2010 has additional functionality added.

Irrespective of whether you buy De-luxe or Platinum you get the same tree program, as you do if you buy the upgrade program at £19.90, which has just 1 month Ancestry subscription.

Still working my way round both of them.

Oooh Marion,
This tip could save Father Christmas a packet and mean he could bring me something else!
How do I convert Tesco tokens into FTM?
thanks,

Hi Jill.

The deal is through the Tesco clubcard vouchers.The ones you get sent in post.
You do it online and they send a voucher which you then post off.I got mine within about a week.

I'm a bit confused Marion, sorry.
Do you go on line to Tesco and they send you a voucher to buy FTM on line? And can I use my double up vouchers?
thanks,
Jill
