I've just been emailed that my world wide subscription is going to be renewed at a cost of $450 dollars. Is this over the top? Is there a way to get it cheaper as I notice on their web site if you are a new subscriber it's $299.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure but I believe they can tell your in Oz and you can't access the UK subscriptions, same happens with FMP.
I don't put my trees on Ancestry as the quality that are on there now mostly have one source, and it's an ancestry tree.

I remember that some years ago Tora several of us renewed through the Australian site because it was cheaper. Then we logged in through the UK site but could also see the Australian records on the australian site if we wanted to. I don't know if it's still the same though.
Family Tree Maker 2012 World edition - comes with 6 months free Ancestry subscription (worldwide). Postage and packing free worldwide (airmail delivery). Total cost £67.95
Buy two of these and you have an annual worldwide subscription costing you the equivalent of £135.90
I've used TWR in the past and can highly recommend them.
You can also get this on Amazon but not sure what the postal charges would be ..
what about Amazon in Australia ?? they do this one with 3 months worldwide free ,didn't look further but have a nosey even 4 of these works out a lot cheaper than the sub and its free shipping
Any FTM World Edition purchase up to 2 years old (i.e. 2011 onwards) should be good for a 6 month free Ancestry worldwide sub. There are no identifying marks on the discs, so any problems can be sorted out over the phone with Ancestry. Automatic registration works best if you cancel your previous subscription and let it expire.
Last year I opened an annual FMP World subscription through their USA site for $59.40 (about £40.00), I read about it being available to UK users somewhere. Did not have to create a new account or anything. I have just renewed after they e-mailed me with an offer for the same deal at $59.99. Maybe OZ users can do the same? I also use Ancestry but no good deals yet!
Have just bought this on E-Bay for £24.99 with free UK post.
FAMILY TREE MAKER 2011 WORLD EDITION with 6months free sub for Ancestry.
They offer world postage. You could contact them for a price of postage. What I ordered is not the heavy box set,
but just the CD.

Modem I am pleased for you but very annoyed FMP have never offered me any good deals and I have been with them for a long time ,dont know why they dont do good deals for all.
Thats a really good deal Matt.
Edit: just seen that the seller of the cheapest one that includes a 6-month Ancestry sub is in the UK, but they quote the price and postage in AUS$ and it looks quite reasonable (about AUS $ 50).

The FMP World subscription is indeed available to subscribers in Australia.
I got worldwide FMP last year for AU$59. It was just about to expire and they sent me an email telling me I could renew for the same price.....which I did.
Worldwide Ancestry is $450 here in Oz. I have sneaked through a couple of times with cheaper ones, but if you ring, they will tell you $450.
FMP offers an annual 10% discount if you renew your sub with them. if you cancel, and decide again later you want it back, i don't think you get the discount. i've been very pleased with my FMP sub. they generally add more records i can use than ancestry.
with ancestry, i know they are expensive for australians, so the FTM cd's are the best bet there for cheaper or free subs.
I've been looking in Oz but find most of the FTM don't have worldwide, they have England, Ireland, New Zealand & Australia. I do have world wide on FMP but they release things in England that don't seem to come here for a long time. I can't log in via the UK site it has to be through the Australian site.
