It is also possible to unsubscribe from Ancestry.com online. Go to "My Account", which is a drop-down from your username. To the right side under Account Information, is the option to cancel membership, or a question about canceling membership. I often get a month membership when I have the money, So that I don't forget, I "cancel the membership" the next day and it still allows me to use the service for the month and doesn't resubscribe me.
