that makes perfect scence julie, a few weeks ago the sunday mail here in adelaide had a special offer for a month free use on ancestry.uk, but you had to also put your credit card details in, I thought id give it a go i was told to cancel before the 30 days was up. So went to do that to day, and guess what? they had automatically set the site to take over $400 out for a world class 12 month subscriptiopn~~~~ not a uk one worth $179..... They really are deceptive and they wonder why people get sceptical. And in trying to use it, ive not recieved one email contact from any that i wrote to, and ive not found any new information that i didnt already get elsewhere!!!! So i dont think the site is worth it. well thats my conclusion. AND my pet hate is all that American stuff you have to wade through. When all i want  is UK. AGGHHHH/ As for Australian. well im annoyed that our own find my past site hasnt got that info, and we can get more up to date stuff if we go to the state libary. Live and learn. Lost cousins and Ancestry in my eyes not worth the money they ask. margaret in Adelaide Aus --- On Tue, 26/4/11, Julie Boyd <[email protected]> wrote: From: Julie Boyd <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [IRL-DUBLIN] free ancestry.com search To: [email protected] Received: Tuesday, 26 April, 2011, 5:57 PM No, it came with a code, but you couldn't access info without entering your credit card. I believe this is deceptive.   Julie --- On Tue, 26/4/11, margaret pavljuk <[email protected]> wrote: From: margaret pavljuk <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [IRL-DUBLIN] free ancestry.com search To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, 26, April, 2011, 4:12 PM was there a special code with it? i couldnt get it to work from adelaide, unless it finished midnight sunday. this might explain it. marg --- On Sat, 23/4/11, Janet Gregurke <[email protected]> wrote: From: Janet Gregurke <[email protected]> Subject: [IRL-DUBLIN] free ancestry.com search To: [email protected] Received: Saturday, 23 April, 2011, 8:24 PM   Hi every one and a happy Easter to you all. In todays Melbourne Herald Sun newspaper is an announcement that says Records for free. More than 40 million military records will be aqvailabel fro free at ancestry.com.au this Anzac weekend. The website is encourageing Australians to open its collection of histroric service records from Australia, UK, Canada and the US. The public can access records of enlistment dates, battles fought, performance on the field, medals awarded and for those who did not return, final resting places. The records date back to 1793 and can give people and insight into their miltitary past and their ancestors achievments in battle. The records can be acessed simply by registering on the site and entering an ancestors name. I hope this may be of use to some of you, and I cant see why it wouldnt work for people overseas serching for relatives. Good luck Janet Gregurke in Australia [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group MARKETPLACE Stay on top of your group activity without leaving the page you're on - Get the Yahoo!

Hi Margaret & Julie Can I correct one or two things please First the site that is offering free access is the Australian one Ancestry.com.au There is *no* code, neither is it necessary to give credit card details I suggest you may have tried via another Countries site? (US or UK?) Although I subscribe to the UK site, I had an account with the Aussie Ancestry site some time back for another free offer they had, entering that account again gave me free access to the Military records as advertised I have *never* entered credit card details on that account or been asked to If you try via the UK or USA sites they may ask for credit card details as its not the Australian site (Either way you the terms and conditions state you will be charged at the end of a 14 day trial, which is what you are doing when joining from other than the Aussie site) Its subjective I know and much depends upon your needs but Ancestry are far and away the best Genealogy site on the market IMHO The free offer on the Aussie site is still running, I used it this morning, and ends at the end of the 26th (presumably in Aussie time) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) PS as to the US data just enter the tick for exact searches only and UK and Ireland only > that makes perfect scence julie, > a few weeks ago the sunday mail here in adelaide had a special offer for a month free use on > ancestry.uk, but you had to also put your credit card details in, I thought id give it a go i was > told to cancel before the 30 days was up. > So went to do that to day, and guess what? > they had automatically set the site to take over $400 out for a world class 12 month > subscriptiopn~~~~ not a uk one worth $179..... > They really are deceptive and they wonder why people get sceptical. > And in trying to use it, ive not recieved one email contact from any that i wrote to, and ive not > found any new information that i didnt already get elsewhere!!!! > So i dont think the site is worth it. well thats my conclusion. > AND my pet hate is all that American stuff you have to wade through.
