My name is Scottie Allen and I have a BIG problem going on with this website. one day I had subscribed for the 14 Day Trial for ancestry.com but when I realized that it required a payment from my Checking Account from my Debit I unsubscribed from the website 5 MINUTES after I subscribed from it because I didn’t want to take any money from my card since it was already low on money. Ancestry.com even sent me an email say that I unsubscribed from the website. But I went to Chase Bank for my account and it said that I overdrew my account with this website when I made it clear that I didn’t want their services. Now it saying that I owe at least up to $190. Can someone from this website please email on what to do on how to get all my money refunded back to my bank account.I made sure that I unsubscribed from this website the moment that realized that they wanted to take money from account. I can’t use my phone because it’s not working now. You can email me here:

I cannot find my press books that I had before you changed the system. I had a lot of information on my ancestry and pages set up the way I wanted them. The other system does not give my ancestries I had before. I sure do not want to start over.

Thank You,

I have viewed several tv shows talking about how easy it is to do family history. I think that is misleading. I have been doing mine and volunteer to assist others (time permitting) It is not an easy or cheap project. I have; however, tried not to pass much cost, if any onto those I help. I have only requested the person find a free site to submit the information in hopes other searching the same family will happen upon them. That has happened to me.
It takes much patients, the finds are so worth the hunt. Early on I posted for family and her we are now with others finding my old posts and contacting me.
My comment to beginners is to not give up esp if you are not near a location of your search. You can find many generous souls out there who help because they were helped by the kindness of a stranger in the town of your family. That has been an experience of my many times over.
Have fun hunting. I love the finds and I really love the hunt.

Its most rewarding to know that we can actually trace and find for our long lost family, knowing and learning our ancestry is one of the best treasures we can have.

I was so inspired by this episode, I decided to finis what I started over 10 yrs ago. And what a treasure find. I sat at my computer and had to confirm what I already had to infomation from long ago. Now I am so full of joy to have actually found the long lost connection between my families and I am so eager to find, share, and meet other family members. I am just really feeling blessed right now. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing these segments of the Today Show. I missed Ann and Al’s family history due to my appointments, and so happy to view them here.
The most interesting shows I have ever seen on the Today show.
