Glenn Could you guide me through how you did this. I logged intio cashback. went through the link on the cashback site to Ancestry but how do I then use the link posted rather than where cashback takes me to and still get the cashback ?

people might already know but I didn't. When I logged on to Newcastles civic Centre pages to do a school app, there is a "trace your family tree" section. It has all the usual info on getting hold of births and deaths etc there are other free resources available on there that are contributed to by worldwide historical groups. Might be useful as some of the information goes back to the 1800's and I would think other local authorities do this aswell? I haven't used it myself but hth someone.

I've followed the worldwide membership link and when payment went through it's cost me £155. I've phoned for a refund and told them it should have been £77.70 but they wouldn't honour it. Have I done something wrong? I used to be a member but no longer am.

Thats why I've asked Glenn how he did it. Its a question of doing it in the right order I think, also I'm a lapsed member so going to join a member of the family instead so its a new member

Hi there.

I first of all logged into TopCashback and clicked through to Ancestry. I then copied and pasted the discount link into my browser and signed up for the Premium membership at half price. I wasn't expecting the cashback to work (and it still may not) but was pleasantly surprised when it tracked.

Currently members, what happens to our tree if we do not renew and then say join again using an offer?

Do we lose it?

Everything stays as it was. We rejoined with this offer (in exactly the same way as GlennThe Baker did) - £53.70 was the amount I authorised to be debited to my credit card (screenprint saved), and that's the amount I'll be paying. Any suggestion of a higher charge and the charge will be disputed and rejected.

The Ancestry account's now back as it was before we left. Same login etc. My concern about signing up as another member of the family would be accessing everything saved under the original membership, but maybe there's a way round this.

If you take up an offer by creating a new account, your tree will not be connected to your new account -- but it will still exist and be connected to your old account. You could then probably just search for your old member name and, if you've made that tree public, then you could just add that tree to your new account. You'd have to tool around to see the best way to copy your old tree to your new account, but it can be done as any user can add people from a public tree to their own tree.
