Cheapest ancestry?

[Jeanie with one n.]

Hello,
Back in the UK after 3 mts. and wondering which is the cheapest ancestry at the moment. Is it still Oz or are there any offers going about?
Many thanks

The OZ site is now offering two packages for UK records plus the world package so it looks to be going the same way as the UK site.


The "subscribe" page details two packages with annual prices as shown below,

the $179.40 package called UK Heritage;
"Over 800 million names from Australia, the UK and Ireland for one low cost. Covering all essential collections, it's a great package for those new to family history or who just want to research their British, Aussie or Irish roots."


A new $215.40 package called UK Heritage plus
2Want more? Get all the great collections from the UK Heritage package, plus get access to 400 years of London history from the vaults of the London Metropolitan Archives"

$215=approx £104


You would need to check exactly what is in each package and compare that to the UK versions (Essentials at £83.40 and premium at £107.40), bearing in mind the confusion over prices with the new LMA records now coming online, by the looks of it ancestry are setting the prices at similiar rates across all their sites.

You should have taken the 50% discount in Feb via the OZ site, it gave the uk premium package for £43

Your best bet right now is probably via Quidco unkless you can use a library that has access.

Ancestry.com is a tad more than .uk and .au by the look of it but it's only a few pence between them.

Have just tried to phone then to see if I can get the discount and an English voice says it's closed!!
My memory was that it, the phone number, took you through to the USA.
Near miss on the oz site. Whoops.
Will have a look at Quidco though know nothing about them.
Many thanks.

Have just been given the 20% discount so have the premium for £85.92.
Nearly did not try to get it so well pleased that I did.
Was offered the discount in '07 because of some payment card problem.
Did not renew in '08 because of all the irritation re connection service and going away for 11 weeks.
So yippee!! Family history/One name study back on track
