Go on you know you want too

Plus its a bargain that will cost you big bucks later if you don't and then rejoin

its much cheaper than other sites you can have your tree on like Ancestry and FMP both of which I subscribe too

I am reluctant to let those drop as my FTM is linked to Ancestry and I use FMP

Genes too offers different even if you dont use its records you make cyber friends with banter etc and can meet up and put faces to members names /thread posting pseudonyms

I was recently charged £8. 96 to renew my standard membership - £1 more than last year. Maybe they will increase the payment every year until we are paying the same as new members - although by then there won't be any members anyway!!

Not the best response and absolute rubbish - any half decent website which maintains a "stable, ongoing and accessible" database will be able to reinstate.
Of course that is unless they are not using the most up-to-date and compliant systems. Not that I am saying anything, of course.

It was £7.00 Ann, and the years afterwards it has been various prices, but my tree has gone I contacted GR and asked for it to be reinstated the reply was it couldnt be done....

Not necessarily - in the past I have left and then returned within a short space of time to negotiate a better deal. It works.

If you left and returned Jean it will be more than people who have never left. :-)

I recently paid £9.98 for an annual Platinum membership.
Not bad in my book.

So much for gradually moving everyone up to the same annual sub.......
Good luck for you Mr. M but my last subscription payment (1 year standard) was 21.56€ and I won't be renewing when it runs out.

Hi Mr M, is that called Standard ??? I have always been on Platinum but it ends in August and from then I just want to come on the threads.

Yes it has Island :-(

Where can you get this sort of entertainment for 2.5p per day ?

And friends and all sorts too :-0

Tempting Joy.... ;-)

Island Report 4 Jun 2015 19:04

Same here Mr M but for 13th. Has it gone up just a quid? Seems a strange amount.

I don't know if I can be bothered tbh, even for 8.96 a year.

message from GR..................

We'll renew your membership for £8.96 on 15th June 2015

That equates to 2.5p per day (approx.)

Money well spent.

:-D :-D :-D :-D
