Isn't knowing your current family bad enough?
I bought this promo last year at Christmastime and found out my children and I are eligible for European citizenship! Then I was able to research to locate all the documents and information needed to apply. So for me, it was well worth the $99. My only regret is not doing it sooner. *Tip: be sure to download all important documents to your computer because you will lose access to them once you cancel your paid membership. The free membership locks you out of that access even though you saved them to your account during paid membership.
Likewise. Filed for and received Luxembourg citizenship this past January for me and my three kids. The opportunities this opens up for my work, my children, their studies, etc. is enormous.

I have all my trees private, and don't have my real name as a username on the site. You can't go on ancestry on any trees I've made and see what's on there at all, much less see my mother's maiden name. It's all in how you use this.

If someone else puts a family tree up with my mother's name, I can't stop them, nor can you stop any of your extended family from doing the same, so that has nothing to do with whether you personally use Ancestry or not. But since I'm alive, and so is my mother, most people even on their public trees have it set to not show the names of living people.
Seems like you were aware of the risk going in.

Wouldn't everyone be? Some people just don't worry about risks that much in general, but they know about it. For years my trees weren't even on the site at all. I use Family Tree Maker software, keep it all on my desktop. But I found some advantages to having it online too, just as any easy way to pull up my tree on an app when visiting my mom to show her something, but it's all private.

I honestly had never thought about the risk until I read an article pointing out that it could be easily accessed, and I consider myself pretty savvy about internet security. It's just not something I ever thought about. My family is well documented back to the revolution so I, personally, never felt the need to add myself to their database. I was trying to inform, not argue. You have a good day with your family, sir.

The 23andme with ancestry service is $99 right now on Amazon. Does anyone know what the equivalent plan included with it is as that seems less than these unless it is something entirely different?

How are people getting to the sale page when they go through the cashback site? I get to the sale page if I use the link here, but if I go through urlhasbeenblocked, I can't find the sale prices.

UPDATED: Found it myself. You go under the "Extras" tab at the top of the page, and select "Gift Memberships" to find the sale prices.

Just curious how this service was able to facilitate this? I assume you found an unknown immediate family or heritage of one that allows sponsorship or some type of inheritance of citizenship from a European country?
I always knew they were from Czechoslovakia but did not understand they were born on the Slovak side. I had already explored Czech citizenship and did not qualify. Once I figured out their exact birthplace, I was able to discover we qualify for Slovak citizenship! I found their birth and marriage records, even the ship manifest from when they came over to USA. I never would have found this without Ancestry and FamilySearch (free service.) I used both platforms to put all the pieces together.

"have a good day, sir" is just my way of saying I'm done with the conversation, gender irrelevant

Sure!

I knew nothing of my grandfather. My grandparents divorced when my mother was an infant and she never met him until he was on his deathbed. I'm not even sure how much my grandmother knew about him (certainly not the worst parts before being married).

In any case, it ends up his parents immigrated from Luxembourg and had him in their first year here, all discovered through Ancestry. I was able to find my great grandparents lineage, acquire all of the birth, marriage, and death records, and show the documented chain of lineage. Luxembourg has two paths of reclaiming citizenship (they view you as a born citizen that hasn't claimed it yet). My path was the more unconventional one where I could claim citizenship so long as there was a paternal line with the only maternal break in it being my mother.

Thus I qualified for that. It took about 18 months start to finish but ended up working. I did hire a company to assist me mostly because I can't speak Luxembourgish (something like a mix between French, German, and Dutch). Kids got it too. I went from having no idea I had such ancestry to being a citizen in that short of a time frame.

This doesn't work for every nation. Very few, in fact. Ireland is somewhat lenient in they allow two generations removed from citizenship, but then the line is lost. So my grandmother could have applied being second generation from Ireland but my mother could not have, so that path was broken.

Hope that helps some.

It's also a pain in the a... I am a dual citizen and to enter my native country (or technically the EU) I have to have a EU passport. And to get back to the US I have to have my US passport. Of course I could try and cheat and enter the EU with my U S passport, but the fines are quite steep if they catch me. Don't know what they see on their computer screens...

Oh and this applies to my kids as well. We spend a pretty penny just to keep our passports valid...

That's not at all accurate for a US citizen. You are supposed to use the passport of your native birthright. As a US citizen with a Luxembourg/EU passport, I am absolutely not to use my Lux passport unless there was some extenuating circumstance. That is true on either side in either direction. I can use the EU passport if I really wanted to (basically to get through customs a bit quicker), but it is suggested that I do not do that.

Maybe you being an EU citizen have different rules, but I assure you that is not at all true for US citizens.

This is most distinctly NOT for new memberships only. I have been using this offer for the past 11 years...every year gifting to myself an additional one year's World Explorer membership. Also, don't worry if you miss this present offer, as Ancestry usually offers a second 50% off sale in early January.
