I was locked out of my account. I went to customer service but could not get anything other than a robot who could do nothing. I created a help ticket and ONE WEEK LATER I got an email from someone or thing posing as a human offering to help. He told me to clear my cookies and cache but that did no good. When I tried to respond to him, I just got sent to another robot. This is probably the worst experience I have ever had with a genealogy site. It's unbelievable! Ancestry has a newspaper site that works fine.
They charged a nominal fee to join for 3 days. The site was OK but then I decided to cancel. In order to cancel, you have to call an 888 number. Although I beat the deadline, they billed me for another month. Of course, if I were to complain, they would probably put me on hold for half an hour with their 888 phone number.
