in todays Daily Express is an offer for a Family Tree colleciton of 6 CD Roms Genealogy set it is £34.95 including postage instead of so they say £49.99 it says it includes 44 million records from the 2001 Electoral Roll. and over £100 worth of vouchers from leading Genealogy suppliers and a illustrated book how to research a comprehensive internet resource centre is it worth buying as I am getting a subscription to Anchestry as one of my xmas presents or would this be on there thanks |

Hi Valerie There was a similar offer in the Daily Mail not so long ago. Personally I didn't think it was worth it. The version of family tree that they were offering was available free from other sources, the electoral role information was given away free with Your Family Tree magazine a couple of months ago and anyone with a slight knowledge of the internet could find most the the info contained in the book. Maybe I am wrong and others have found it worth the money, I myself think that a subscription to Ancestry is far more useful/valuable. I would not be without mine but I haven't missed not buying the CD's from the Mail! Sam |

I only started to buy the Family Tree magazine this month so did not get the free disc you mention I wonder if I can get a back copy of that instead thanks |
