Hi all
Am thinking of getting back into my family history after a bit of a break. Looking at taking out a new sub to Ancestry World, I checked both the sites Ancestry.co.uk and Ancestry.com.au. The UK site offers an "Annual Worldwide Membership" for £155.40 whereas the AU equivalent has an "Annual World Heritage Package" for a whopping $449.95 Not only that, but when I select the UK one and choose "upgrade", the quoted price is only £135.13 (presumably because I'm overseas so don't pay VAT) - which converts to around $220 at the current exchange rate. So can anyone explain to me why there is such a huge discrepancy? I assume that the two packages are identical, as they both claim to offer full access to all Ancestry's records. In that case, why on earth would anyone subscribe via the AU site, when they can get the same deal for half the price at the UK site?
