Genealogists - Deal of the Year Revisited

In October 2007, I wrote about the 'Deal of the Year' that involved a one-year subscription to Ancestry as part of a Family Tree Maker software bundle.

Well, one of my friends has found a similar deal again. She said to check out the latest offering of the Family Tree Maker 16 Standard edition that includes a six-month subscription to Ancestry. I looked at the package and it looks like we have another 'Deal of the Year' at $10.49.

I've shortened the URL to the site to save you typing a long string of letters and numbers. http://tinyurl.com/6b3qbf

What is in the package?

The genealogy software is Family Tree Maker 16 Standard Edition. The rest of the package is as follows:

  • 6 Month Subscription to Ancestry.com
The world's largest collection of family history information, Ancestry.com is the ultimate resource for genealogy research. Features access to over 5 billion names, current and historical world images, records and much more. (Up to $180.00 Value!)

  • Concise Genealogy Dictionary

No, I don't have a tie to either Ancestry or the seller, but know that any relief in the prices associated with our Family History obsession is always welcome.

If you don't use Family Tree Maker, that is ok. I don't either. However, almost all of us can use an inexpensive subscription to Ancestry.

I don't know how many copies of the package are left, so if you have interest, you'll want to look at the package soon.

Flash Update: I've just been told that if you enter coupon code qwr2xy29, you'll get an additional $1.00 off the price.

Smokin' !
