Please can anyone tell me if i add"Travel and Overseas features" to my account for the discount offer of £5.94, how long is that sub for? It says it will expire when my subs do. As mine are due to expire in a months time, presumably it would be better to wait and add it when i renew to get a full 6 months worth of the feature.

If i add it now then am i correct in thinking it will only last one month?
Does anyone know what information you will get? ie full names of passengers travelling with the person you are looking up?

Just considering if it's worth it. £5.94 only works out at roughly £1.00 per month which isn't much is it?

No idea about how the add on would work - how about emailing GR?

As to the names. Well. if you were to look at the image, you'd see people with the same surname who 'appeared' to be travelling with them. Sometimes there are first names, sometimes just initials!

Florence - why not start a new thread on Find Ancestors? Tell us the parameters you've used and C&P any preview and we'll have a look.

Hi Florence :-)

The discounted offer is only because your subscription is nearing it's end. Once the time comes to renew your subscription, the Add-ons will be at full price again.

I took advantage of the offer for Parish Records for about £5 toward the end of my subscription period, and had a lot of success in the Pembrokeshire area, so it was well worth it. However I didn't find the Travel and Migration Records, which I also took at the offer price, very good.

As DET says, the GR volunteer researchers on Find Ancestors could perhaps help you.
