Sharon I have thought a bit about this. How about doing this. First save the two trees with separate titles. Lets say one tree named, as before, but ending with A and the other B Merge A and B to create a tree AB. The upload this to Ancestry. Don't work and the merged tree AB just continue on your separate trees as before. You can now leave one subscription on Ancestry. You will still get the same responses from Ancestry but it will go to the person whose subscriptions remains there. Both separate trees are not affected. If you want to in the future you can again merge the two trees and upload that to Ancestry. I have not uploaded my tree to Ancestry for some time now and have no plans to do so.
