I'm doubting whether anyone outside of Italy will be allowed to subscribe to that product.

Don't know if Ancestry's Italian tree only access would be a good workaround, but at 10 Euros annually it's a lot cheaper. <br /><br />http://ancestryforums.custhelp.com/posts/534b53dcae<br /><br />Hello Ann,<br />In regards to the Ancestry Insights subscription; you will have the ability to contact all other members, view cousin's direct-line pedigrees up to 7 generations, view your cousins' full family trees, view public family trees for any member of Ancestry, view DNA shared ancestor hints, match locations and surnames, and also have access to DNA circles. Whereas, without a subscription you do not have access to those features, but can still access your results, your list of matches, the relationship prediction and can still contact your DNA matches. Let me know if you have any questions.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Karlie B. Community Moderator<br /><br />It was bad enough 23andMe raising the rate to $200 for Canada and U.K. testers. When I asked them if they planned on raising U.S. rates to similar levels once they make up with FDA and their response wasn't promising:<br /><br />Jess, Oct 10 05:26 PM:<br />Hello Paul,<br />Our intention is to return previously available reports to all customers without additional charge. However, we don’t know which reports will be approved or when. The FDA may have requirements that fundamentally change some reports or require the development of entirely new reports or products. It is possible that there may be additional charges for new products that are developed as a result of FDA requirements.<br /><br />The company will continue, as it always has, to evaluate optimal pricing strategies and we may adjust pricing in the future.<br />Best,<br />23andMePaul Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886096598180863475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592153507467992076.post-9814477923517845572015-01-25T10:50:31.566-08:002015-01-25T10:50:31.566-08:00I'm unsubscribing after my next DNA result com...I'm unsubscribing after my next DNA result comes in. I don't like the way Ancestry jerks their customers around. Terrible company. The management needs a change of attitude or they need a change in management? I found an entire line of my family was missing in the tree created for AncestryDNA. The actual tree has the line in it but the generated tree doesn't? I'm finding that happens frequently. It's all just time sinking aggravation!

We need to remember they are providing a service. A service that can not exist for free. I have spent way more than $50 for one family members military records. The wealth of information on Ancestry is well worth it, if one uses it. It's like a gym membership, if on goes everyday, it's a great deal. If one doesn't go, they are loosing money.
