Saving Money on Ancestry's Black Friday Deals!

 For the last several years I have been getting an ancestry.com membership as a birthday gift from my husband.  Last year I found out about the 50% off sale for Black Friday.  I had no idea I could have been saving money this whole time.  Finally, this year I took advantage of the sale.

The sale is 50% off a gift membership and you can gift it to yourself.  This is not a renewal.  You want to make sure you have canceled the automatic payment.  Your current subscription needs to end in the next 90 days.  You purchase the gift membership of your choice and choose to have it begin on the day after your current membership ends.  Easy peasy!  

I had let mine run out in October so it's been a long 6 weeks without full Ancestry.com access but now I am all lined up to take advantage of this great deal every year now.  

Also, if you are in the market for DNA tests they are on sale as well.  

This sale ends on November 28, 2022, for this year.  

#25 of 52...Henry Martin Reid...

Ancestry.com has a new thing connected with the DNA results called "DNA Circles".  It connects you with others probable descendants of a single ancestor.  It uses DNA matching as well as actual family trees.  I'm in a big ol' circle for Henry Martin Reid.  There are 36 of us in this circle, including me, my Aunt Janet, and my two boys.  We're referred to as the Shirley Ivey family group since she is who we descend through.

Henry Martin Reid is my 5th great grandfather on my mother's maternal side. There are many family trees out there with Henry Martin Reid in them.  I am only putting information here that I'm fairly confident in the accuracy.  I'm leaving much out, as I've not been able to verify all of it yet.
