Regarding Ancestry is it not possible to do the subscription through your own countries Ancestry sites like http://www.ancestry.com.au/ & http://www.ancestry.ca/ ? I know you want the UK records but at least you can ring them in your own country and ask if that subscription is available. I know the UK site has a freephone telephone you can ring to cancel a sub, but probably costs you ringing in from abroad. I have no connection with them other than a subscriber who uses them on a regular basis without complaint of service. I do not know of any other site that lets you search a census by first name and town, or first name and birthplace, etc. They started off badly but to me personally have improved, plus they pay to keep our Rootsweb mailing lists free for our use. Every company makes mistakes, though I do not defend them not cancelling when they should. Stephen Steere Orpington, Kent.
I have found the direct approach the best to this point in time. and when I took out the subscription in question. I was actually in the UK on holiday. I have not had a serious problem with Ancestry inasmuch as this is the second time they have pulled this stunt on me. but I have both times been able to get it sorted by email Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steere.genealogy" <steere.genealogy@ntlworld.com> To: "SFHG List" <SFHG-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2008 2:56 AM Subject: Re: [SFHG] Ancestry.com > Regarding Ancestry is it not possible to do the subscription through your > own countries Ancestry sites like http://www.ancestry.com.au/ & > http://www.ancestry.ca/ ?
