Query about Ancestry

[mazwad]

My cousin belongs to Ancestry and has been doing our family tree on there, she invited me to look at it and I have been on there many times checking out new content as I get an automatic e-mail to say new content has been added.  I do not subscribe to Ancestry but it has never been a problem doing this however this time it won't let me look unless I subscribe.

Does anyone know if they have recently changed the rules and is there anyway round this without paying out to join as I can't afford it at the moment.

Did you click the link from the email she sent this last time?  If so, and it doesn't connect you, she might have deleted you from having viewing priveleges - but ten you probably wouldn't have received the email.

If you have any of the older emails that allowed you in, go back to one of them and attempt to connect.

I don't use Ancestry, but I do have friends/relations who do and allow me access to their sites.

I am sure she wouldn't have deleted my veiwing privileges as we are very friendly.  I have tried going back on old links with the same result, no entry unless I pay.  Are you in the same position as me veiwing but not paying? if so could you try one of your links to see what happens.

Have you changed your tree from public to private recently ?

Something similar happened to me a while ago, after I was forced to make my tree private for a while.  Several people who had been invited to view the tree had not clicked on the email, but still got to look at my tree, because it was public.  When I changed it to private, they lost their viewing rights.

All you can do is to delete the invite, and issue another one.  Warn the other person that an invite is coming, because they often get lost as spam.
