On the Ancestry subject, I am going around with them right now because they will not honor an offer they sent through email of a 3 month subscription to Ancestry with a Family Tree Maker upgrade. Ancestry claims to know nothing--despite the offer in writing. I only want the US portion deducted from my costs--every little bit helps. Listers, any ideas?
