The Year Ahead – March 15

In the January/February 2024 issue of Family Tree Magazine, they have introduced The Year Ahead, 366 genealogy tips will make 2024 your best research year yet by Lisa A Alzo. Lisa mapped out a day-by-day research plan.

March 15 – Beware the Ides of March! The Romans honored it by settling debts – do the same by checking the expiration dates for your paid genealogy subscriptions.

The biggest complaint I hear in Facebook groups is when their subscriptions renew when they wanted to take a break. Did you know in Ancestry, when you cancel a subscription, it is still valid through the last day of the subscription? So don’t wait until the last day. Also, I found I would get emails with offers for savings if I did let my subscription end. Plus, with Ancestry, they usually have a wonderful Black Friday sale for 50% off. So, think about planning on having your current subscription end around that time. You won’t lose your tree if you cancel your subscription, you only lose access to documents that are attached that are found behind their paywall. However, Ancestry now has many different levels of subscriptions, check out the following article titled “Ancestry.com Subscriptions Explained”.

Personally, I never let any of my subscriptions automatically renew. 

Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
