Hello, That is a big price to have to come up with all at one time and for some it means they will have to drop it. I received a call from Ancestry about the new package deal, I just renewed three months ago and the price it will be next fall when I should renew, I am afraid I will not be able to do so. It will lead to some splitting the account with another party, they both use the same account name and number and that isn't right.

I have not received a call this year when my US Census expired in October, that is why I was so shocked when I tried to use it New Years weekend. They have always called me. Thanks for the reply.
