Could anyone please advise on Ancestry. Currently World membership is on offer @ .com for less than Uk normal membership. Can all of the UK info be accessed through Ancestry(.com) or are there limitations. Many thanks in advance.

Ancestry has e mailed me with a special offer. It is on Ancestry*com ......... not the uk version the com version. World membership paying in DOLLARS works out at about £79 and Uk at about £49. It is a bargain!!!!! World membership gets everything.

Hello Jennifer Yes it was an offer e-mailed to me from Ancestry*com and it works out at about £94 all inclusive for world. Can all of UK be accessed through above?? Many Thanks

It should tell you what can be accessed. As far as I remember you get every record ancestry has, here and over there. They havent mailed me - are you due to renew? Whats the site addy for the offer please?

Hi Heather Message was from Ancestry*com but when you go to site there is no mention of offer. My subscription ran out about a month ago I think thats why I got the offer!!

I just googled for offers and there is a world de luxe offer at about 176 dollars or something - whats that getting on for £90? My sub is up in april I think but Id definitely go for the world de luxe if they offered me the same deal as you!

Sorry missed out price was 155 dollars +

Yes offer is for world Deluxe @155 dollars plus tax which comes out at about £94 so it's a good deal then??

Well UK alone went up to £80 recently so for a tenner a year you get the whole caboodle - assuming you want the whole caboodle of course! Did they not list all the things you get? OneWorldTreeSM U.S. Records Collection U.S. Census Collection U.S. Immigration Collection U.S. Military Collection U.S. Newspaper Collection U.S. Family and Local Histories Collection U.K. Census Collection U.K. Newspaper Collection U.K. Family and Local Histories Collection

Site says access UK database but wondered whether this would be limited but then again UK offers World and they dont show restrictions. Perehaps I'm being a bit too cautious!!!!!!

If you dont need the US records Anthony then go for the Uk alone - at that price its a real bargain. Doesnt the offer end tomorrow?

Yes offer finishes 31st so got to decide tonight one way or another. Found the UK site really helpful so I need to re-new plus I dont like to miss out on a deal, was just concerned with the access issue. Thanks for all your thoughts.

I got the email too! It's on my home pc and I'm at work at the moment though so can't double check it. I'm sure it was for the World Deluxe version as the 155 dollars sounds familiar.
