While I agree on not paying more than a Worldwide Subscription, I don't mind getting the notifications - it usually gives a reasonable source reference, which as they're usually from TNA, I can access there.

The www.Fold3.com website states:-

    Why Fold3?

    Traditionally, the third fold in some flag-folding ceremonies honors and remembers veterans for their sacrifice in defending their country and promoting peace in the world.

I think Ancestry could do a lot more to make it clear which records are/aren't available with a worldwide subscription. Somebody could take out a subscription on the basis that they've found a record they want to see in full, then find out it isn't available to them, but too late, their money's already gone.

I was going to say - Like this?

But

1/ There doesn't seem to be a UK version

2/ There's even a level above All Access to get the enhanced Newspapers.com records

That's very annoying. I just took out a month sub after at least a year without any sub, looked at the 'compare' table and tried to work out what might be offered by All Access, since it was on the sub list, but not in the table.  I still probably wouldn't have gone for it, since I wasn't expecting to find many military records I haven't already seen, but it would have been nice to know what I was refusing.  (Of course almost the first new record I found was military!)
