Locked Ancestry subscription discount

Well, I did that first and got zero hits (in both Title and Keyword boxes) so I thought I’d try a general search. Gill

Bill, I am an ancestry.co.uk subscriber and, like you, have zero hits for Henshaw in the card catalog. If I switch to ancestry.com I do see the three hits that you describe. So this could be a licensing issue, as in some records might be licensed to be accessed only via/in certain countries? But the ability to switch between Ancestry websites makes a mockery of that theory.

Sue and Trevor,
Thanks for the info. So it looks like Ancestry has changed from the "old" days. Now it looks like with a World subscription the same information is available regardless of which Ancestry site you are subscribed to. Thanks all! Bill |

Ah, yes, Sue has the answer. Clearing the "Only records from the UK and Ireland" box makes the difference.

Sue,
That is part of what I was interested in knowing. Thank you. The other part is the total number of entries in the card catalog which can be seen at the very top of the list if you don't enter any search criteria. Bill |

Gill, in his example Bill is searching the card catalog as in Search > Card Catalog. Not a general search. |

Hi Bill I’m in the UK. Just tried as you suggested. If the box for UK & Ireland ticked I got no results. Unticked the box and got this.
Is that what you wanted to know. Sue

Thanks Gerald,
So it looks like all the same records are available to US and Canadian subscribers (it would be too big a coincidence if you had the exact same number of sources as I do, but they were different). Anyone from the UK want to check for me? Thanks, Bill |

Hi Bill, I subscribe to Ancestry.ca.
I also see 33,105 total items in the card catalogue. When I search Henshaw in the title box it returns three results.

I am thinking that maybe what I am seeing is different because I am subscribed to ancestry.com.

Gill, did you just do a regular search? I was doing a card catalog search looking for sources. Click on Search, select Card Catalog, and then put Henshaw in the Title field and hit enter. That will show all sources in the card catalog that have Henshaw in the name. |

Bill, Is Henshaw a surname or place? Just searching using co.uk but without limiting it to the UK I got 816,229 hits! Gill

The reason I thought this might be the case is that as an ancestry.com subscriber, if I go to ancestry.co.uk and click on search the card catalog, it says there are only 1,918 sources in the catalog and they are all for the UK. I don't see any sources for the U.S. On ancestry.com it shows there are 33,105 sources in the catalog and these include countries from all over the world. If you are an ancestry.co.uk subscriber, do you see any sources if you search the catalog for "Henshaw"? Bill |

Now I am able to. Very interesting. Good to know. Actually, not all records are available on all Ancestry sites. Just as an example, if you search the catalog for Henshaw, there are three sources in the catalog on Ancestry.com and none on Ancestry.co.uk. I'm not sure what all the differences are. Bill |

You need to cancel your current subscription first, get the confirmatory email and then wait until your subscription has actually expired and you only have guest access. Then you can either use the code you have been given our just Google ancestry 50% discount offer. You can get the discount and/or see it on Ancestry page only after you have just access as a guest. You don't lose any trees or information.i am on my 5th year of doing this.

Hi Trevor Just read your email which says look at links to find the discount. I’m probably being obtuse for which I apologise. My membership is due for renewal soon. I’m on UK and Ireland and it will be £119.99. The link you suggest leads me to what looks like a discount membership form where my membership would be £69.99 for 6m or £139.98 for a year. Ancestry say I can upgrade my membership to full for £179.99. The discount form says £99.99 for 6m or £199.98. Am I doing this wrong? Paul On 20 Dec 2021, at 06:55, Trevor Rix <trevor@...> wrote:

Sorry to ask this question again, but how do you get the discount to renew your subscription to Ancestry? On Sun, Dec 19, 2021 at 7:01 PM George Davis <gdavis2@...> wrote:
