Ancestry 2014 Update
I don’t know how McKiev can expect a user of Ancestry who downloaded the 2014 version via an Ancestry.com link, to produce a receipt or activation key three and one half years after the purchase. I purchased my copy in September of 2013 and despite combing through my files and emails no proof can be found.
The original file downloaded from Nova Devlopement with all properties attached was accepted as proof.
