Ancestry24.za to Close

Ancestry24.za is, or has been, a genealogy web site in South Africa. It seems to have two URLs, using both Ancestry24.za and Ancestry24.com. The site contained many  Anglican Church marriage and baptism records. I have written about the site several times. You can see my past articles by starting at http://goo.gl/1n7z0. Now the owners of Ancestry24.za have announced they are closing the web site.

Quoting from the web site's main page at http://ancestry24.com/closure-of-ancestry24/:

We regret to advise that the Ancestry24 business will close on 28 February 2013.
After this date, the web-site www.ancestry24.co.za will cease to function.

With regard to any premium subscription, which was planned to continue past 28 February 2013, we will be refunding the entire subscription amount that you paid to us. This effectively means that you will have been able to utilize the premium access at no charge during the portion of your subscription that is expired at 28 February 2013. We trust this relieves the inconvenience.
