    I've created this new thread to specifically details offers for subscriptions to various sites.

    Please only post the information about an offer in this thread, which will be stickied.

    Someone mailed me recently asking for information on an offer which was mentioned in an old thread (resurrected for a valid reason), which is confusing, so we'll keep them all here from now on.

    If that was their regular price, it would edge ever closer to my list of must have subs. Snagged it for the next year anyway.

    So many stories get repeated word for word across the various titles though, it's dulled my enthusiasm a bit.

    Has the Irish Examiner been removed from the list of titles? Pretty sure it was there before or was it my imagination...

    It would be much more appropriate for the Examiner to be shown on INA as the Cork Examiner, as it only became Irish Examiner in recent decades.

    Most of us are lookingfor historic issues.

    I don't really understand this one. If you already paid for a Family Finder test, what are they offering now?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 565 ✭✭✭montgo


    Pinky,

    You can transfer/upload your results from Ancestry, etc free of charge but you have to pay $19 (normal price) in order to have full use of FTDNA's tools. So this offer is aimed at non FTDNA customers.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,672 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky

    2x free tickets to Back To Our Past inside delivery copies of the Irish Times today if not all copies - only found the envelope now. Also the same for the Ideal Homes Show the week after

    From memory, free tickets for BTOP are never hard to find anyway


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,672 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    Yeah, I don't know how they make any money on BTOP.

    I just click on the link in the email and it takes me straight to the offer. I have previously registered an account (although not subbed).

    It must be a specific direct marketing campaign. I'm also registered but did not get an email.

    Is there any way to get that Show Offer online anywhere? I'd like to buy a couple of the Ancestry DNA kits as presents.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,672 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    That offer was only for the show. But maybe wait for US Thanksgiving. They often do deals at holiday periods.

    Good idea, I'll hold off for a couple of weeks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,108 ✭✭✭Jellybaby1


    Hadn't really been interested in DNA tests up to recently but with Christmas coming up and no other ideas for presents for ourselves we may just give it a go. Roll on Thanksgiving, 23rd November!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,070 ✭✭✭OU812


    Ancestry DNA kit is currently €59.

    Does anyine know if I bought the My heritage kit, could I use the results on Ancestry?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,672 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    I don't think Ancestry allows transfers from any other sites.

    I transferred the opposite way (Ancestry to MyHeritage) for someone but the matches are pathetic. Something like 7 in total and the top one is estimated to be "1st to 5th cousin". That particular match is on other sites and he shares a surname with the paternal grandmother, so I was able to pin him down as a third cousin with a small bit of work.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 565 ✭✭✭montgo


    Wow! Seems an amazing deal! I might even order some for cousins who don't want to spend any money:) Need to check if one can upload the results from MyHeritage to Gedmatch.

    Save 55% and enjoy the lowest price EVER on MyHeritage DNA.
    Give your loved ones the perfect gift. With MyHeritage DNA, they will discover their ethnic origins and make new family connections.
