    I think there is a big clue in the title of the thread.

    So is London50 claiming to be an official ancestry rep ?
    Where's the proof ?

    I am guessing that London50 has just copied and pasted the info from ancestries website.

    Sorry I don't see your point, I don't see why he should claim anything? he has just copied from the website which is usual for posting.

    Ancestry were just offering yet another free weekend which is what London50 was quoting last year when he posted.

    You read the post, what do you think?

    Proof of what, London50 claiming to be an ancestry rep, or proof the offer was real?

    The offer was real, I and many others on here took advantage of it.

    DISCLAIMER:- I am not an ancestry rep, nor am I claiming to be one.

    Had an email from ancestry the other day saying they were having another free weekend 6-8 Feb 2015.

    No proof as I deleted the email, but time will tell.

    It's on their front page today.

    "Free access to UK records 6-8 Feb".

    How easy or difficult is it to use Ancestry co uk?

    If we subscribe is it tied for a certain time, or can we leave, say after 3 months or so.

    Thanks in advance
