I am in Canada and have used Ancestry for years. There are several different subscriptions and I only subscribe to the UK /Europe section as there are no family members in the States. I haven't looked at the Ancestry.UK but I imagine that it is the same as what I get. You would therefore not be ahead to purchase subs. to both. There is, as you say, masses of sruff on Ancestry and lots of it I can access even when it is not UK related. The Ancestry people are extremely helpful - when my sub was coming up for renewal a couple of weeks ago they phoned me three weeks prior to check whether I wanted to change anything and if it was working for me.

Karen, I have Ancestry UK and tried the US Census (just the free trial 14 day thing) I thought it was good if you have more rellies that side of the Atlantic no good for me though as I have very few so I cancelled, just before the sub finished, I found it interesting all the same, I was even tempted to keep it going, but thought after I am paying enough with what I have. You could get lost for days on Ancestry if you know how to use it it pays. Recently there has been a lot of posts about this site I am now wondering why??? Its been brilliant for me and I am now starting to feel like a free advertisement for them??? I don't mean to I just am very happy with them. Pat x

Karen, I subscribe to the American one. Not with Ancestry though, with Genealogy. Not sure if they cover the same things. Pat

Hi, I was surprised that you have to subscribe to the american ancestry site even if you already subscribe to the uk one! Do any of you subscribe to the american one please?
