Island,

I had the same Ancestry subscription as you ... due to expire the beginning of February.

I didn't want to take a chance in leaving it till the last minute to cancel and did so about two weeks ago.

I still have access to Ancestry till my sub runs out.

Check out the details of your account ... top of Ancestry page.

'My Account'

Island - I don't know! I assume that my subscription was for 1 year only and not automatically renewed.

Hi Island - Ancestry e-mailed me about a month or so ago to let me know that my membership was due to expire. Whenever I logged on there was a message at the top of the screen saying 'your membership will expire in.......days'. When I got to day zero, I still managed to log on for another week or so but now I'm frozen out.

Im not sure about the time limit for cancellation though.

There are no current offers as far as I am aware, however some members have mentioned that if you let your subscription lapse for a few weeks, Ancestry might contact you offering a discount if you re-subscribe.

I am still waiting for an offer to come along.After last year when they offered some very good discount i am going to wait.I have even managed to sort out some paper work as as a rule if i cant find the bit of paper i would just go to ancestry.

My Ancestry membership has just lapsed. Is it worth hanging on for a while to see if I can get a discount before rejoining?

I suppose it depends if I actually can hang on - I'm already getting withdrawal symptoms!
