"Cold turkey"

[ambers]

Having done Cold Turkey for a month ....they have sent me a 20% off offer

I really wanted to get the World subscription, as I had exhausted the UK records.

The offer  couldn't have come at a better time because a week ago I discovered about thirty relatives emigrated at the same time to the US....gold mining.

I just couldn't have held out much longer after making contact with a rellie ..... the frustration of not being able to see them all  on the census was killing me

Hi Newbie,

I least I got some discount   ...oh err, you waited six months
I do wish there was some automatic discount for members who rejoin year after year.

The worst was I told all my friends about the 50% offer, but didn't realise my own subscription was up for renewal , I missed it by days, but they wouldn't give in.

I have had written contact with my gggrandfathers brothers family, all of them emigrated to USA c1874 (30 of them)

That's wonderful Ambers  To have made a contact like that is really great, but fancy 30 of them emigrating all those years ago...how very brave of them  At least there's plenty of room in USA for big families

Am I glad that I re-joined Ancestry

As the Tin mines closed in Cornwall, many went abroad for the gold. 

I can't believe that my 4xgrandmother went at the age of 60, how brave is that , and how did they manage with all those young children and babies

I  have just this moment received an email from another cousin...oh how how exciting is that. ,

I feel your excitement Ambers   
It's amazing what so many families did all those years ago. Imagine trekking to America....no jet planes then, so just a very long sea journey ahead of them   Imagine all the children running around the decks, and mothers tearing their hair out trying to keep them under control and not to lose any overboard    The conditions were probably very primitive, and then to find themselves in a strange country, far away from all that was familiar in UK. Probably no idea what they were coming to, and no idea whether or not they would be successful there.  What a terrible time they must have had, and I only hope your family managed to stay close and that they did succeed in what the set out to do 
Thanks for sharing your news
