]]> Comment on Ancestry.com has lowered subscription rates until?? by birminghamgenealogy http://birminghamgenealogy.wordpress.com/2007/02/21/ancestrycom-has-lowered-subscription-rates-until/#comment-99 birminghamgenealogy Mon, 31 Dec 2007 19:11:51 +0000 http://birminghamgenealogy.wordpress.com/2007/02/21/ancestrycom-has-lowered-subscription-rates-until/#comment-99 jklsmith, Thanks for the feedback. This offer was posted to the blog back in February 2007. At that time, they were honoring the lower rate for existing subscribers who asked for it. The blog post does indicate that the rates are for NEW subscriptions... only suggesting that you call and ask for the lower rate as well. In your case it sounds like persistence definitely paid off. Thanks again, Melissa jklsmith,
