Yes, be careful about signing up with Ancestry.com! I believe you need a credit card to sign up, and they DO NOT notify you that your week is up, so unless you remember, they will charge you for the whole month, and will not pro-rate it. AND since I was out of the United States, they would not let me unsubscribe either online or through email. I had to call their toll free number, but in Italy, there is no such thing as toll free, or call next time I was in the states. I can call an AT&T operator, using their special access numbers, and put the toll free phone charge on my credit card, or AT&T calling card, but the charges from where I live, Montebello Vicentino, to Venice, (we are 45 minutes away) where the access number is located, are charged by the SECOND. Others on my Italian genealogy list have had problems unsubscribing, so read the fine print, and be careful. It is a wonderful service, but be wary...Ciao, Riccarda -----Original Message----- From: K&D Lawrence [mailto:karendon@bcinternet.net] Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 5:42 AM To: CAN-BRITISH-COLUMBIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CAN-BC] Fw: 7-day Census Images Trial Hi Listers- If you got this message in the last day or so, please check the 800 number they give you to unsubscribe,before signing up over the Internet. I tried it and it is not available from my area in BC, so there is no way I could get unsubscribed once I am signed up.

Just to test it -- I tried signing up WITHOUT a credit card -- I was not accepted -- as others say, be wary -- or you will receive a monthly credit card bill. Muriel M.
