CANCEL YOUR ANCESTRY CONTRACT IN SECONDS

Almost everyone knows that Ancestry.com is one of the largest privately-owned online companies in the USA. So far, Ancestry has sold over 18 million DNA kits, offers access to over 10 billion historical records and has more than 3 million global subscribers.

Ancestry.com LLC focuses on direct-to-consumer genealogical DNA tests. Here, consumers present their DNA samples to the company, which then analyses it with DNA sequences. This data is used to infer family relations with other users of the company to give an ethnicity estimate. However, for personal reasons, you may wish to cancel your subscription.

How to Cancel Ancestry Subscription

It is possible to cancel your Ancestry subscription in various ways. First, if you purchased your membership via Google Play, Amazon or Apple iTunes, you will still need to cancel through the same platforms. Here is the process to follow:

1. At the top right of the Ancestry page, select your account and click on your username.

2. Cancel membership on the membership section. If you do not see a link to cancel membership, it means your account does not have an affiliation. If there are charges, there are chances that you have another account. Contact our support to find out the account you are being billed on.

3. Select your cancelation reasons at the bottom of the page.

4. Continue to cancel at the bottom of the next page.
