I guess the recipients of this exclusive club invite were from the US.

Good grief, I automatically thought this must be a scam but no, it seems it's genuine!

For that sort of money, I'd expect a time-travelling machine to enable me to break down some of my brick walls  ;D ;D.

Unbelievable, simply unbelievable.

So, this gives exclusive access to the same "experts" who gave us the infamous indexing and location data on Ancestry? The inaccurate transcriptions, which are never corrected? In fact no errors are ever corrected. The awful hint algorithm? etc. etc. Those folks?

I think THEY SHOULD PAY ME! I appear to know a darn sight more than they do!

Give ‘em their due, they’ve sent me some wonderfully accurate hints. Invariably from one of my own trees!

Who is going to do the "coaching"?  Probably Ancestry employees being obliged to do overtime.  I wish them luck using their own indexes.  Ancestry is clearly scraping the barrel for income, and trying to appear exclusive and upmarket.  Rootschatters clearly know better.

Are they going to pay a premium rate to record providers to allow their records to be held back, so most of us are denied access for an unspecified time.  By record providers I mean The National Archives and local record offices across Britain.  I hope they all refuse to have anything to do with this scheme.  Imagine the fuss if that had happened to the long awaited Suffolk records.
