How Flamin Much?

[Littlemo]

Now Winter is here and I won't be able to get out as much, I thought I would treat myself to a subscription on one of the Family Ancestry Sites and
I am in a state of complete at the prices. I did fancy Fi** M* Pa**
until I saw the price tag of £149 Any helpful advice anyone?
I'm just looking for a site that dosn't cost an arm and a leg.

Ask for look ups on here, that shouldn't cost you much.:biggrin:

I went with the 'A' site for the year, after subscribing monthly. Got the worldwide sub.
May be a case of biting the bullet Mo, or subscribing to as many free sites as possible.

There is a way of cutting cost. I have found if you look around you can get special deals on Family Tree maker and with this you get 6 months free subscription to A.... When the subscription finishes, sell the Treemaker on Ebay and get half the money you paid back. I've done it several times now.

Last year I bought Family Tree Maker on special offer from the software manufacturers at about half recommended price. The software was cheaper than six months subscription to A..... 6 months later I put Family Tree Maker on Ebay and actually got all but £5 back so in effect it cost me £5 for 6 months subscription.

Thanks Guys, and I agree with leefer, you really would do well on The Apprentice duckweed, talk about being able to sell ice to the Eskimos

Only drawback with the Family Tree Maker and the A*****Y 6 months subscription is that its not the one with the parish records and you can only upgrade by paying the whole amount!

However you can get Parish records free elsewhere.
