    21st to 27th November, the Irish Newspaper Archive site will have all levels of membership at 50% off.

    https://www.irishnewsarchive.com/subscribe

    As usual, if you already have a sub, you can buy a gift sub and activate it when your current sub runs out.

    One of the better sites in terms of giving long term subscribers a break.

    Perfect timing spurious - my sub runs out in a weeks time.

    And you're right - they are very good with the long term offers.

    I know, but I hardly ever need it. The fear is that once you start getting them all, you can never stop. It's like Pringles.

    Alright, I did it. Worth noting that if you have Ancestry already (as I do), it's even cheaper. Charged $49.95 for the year.

    Going to purchase for the year, if anyone is stuck I can look up records.

    Ancestry subs at 50% if you are so inclined!

    I've updated my blog post.

    Ancestry.com is a right pain in th@@@@. When it comes to billing.

    subs for American .com and postal/ shipping addresses are nearly always reduced but when you try to purchase it notes your billing and shipping address and the price then changes. same with DNA kits . Example Dna kits 49 dollars , at least this time they reduced the uk site to 49£ stg with 9stg shipping . So close to 75 euro after exchange rates are included . As said at least it’s a reduction . Usually the ul site is a full 89 or 99 stg .

    myheritage at least is straight forward . 36 euro and 9 euro shipping .

    I find my heritage good for uk and Ireland. Whilst ancestry is better for us searches . I have both .

    Ignoring discounts, the renewal price for my existing subscription (annual worldwide) is £179.99 (€209) but the 12 month World Explorer linked above by pinky is $319 (€306).

    That's €100 difference between the US worldwide and UK worldwide annual subscriptions.

    Am I missing something here?

    Can anyone explain the discrepancy between the US and UK sites?

    No idea but it is crazy.

    I was sure someone was going to point out something really obvious that I'd missed but not so.

    Another thing is that I don't have the option to renew for a year - only six months.

    Always worth ringing ancestry customer support. I managed to get them down under 150 euro when the old reliable rootschat link no longer worked. Not great, but it's something.



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 11,202 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hermy


    Yes, I did that last time and got a decent discount from them for the year.
