Cancel genealogy subscriptions

Genealogy plans usually renew for six or twelve months at a time, and your family tree, saved records and DNA results can sit on the account long after you stop searching.

The guides below show how each genealogy service takes cancellations and what to check about renewal dates, saved data and any separate DNA kit or results.

3 genealogy companies are covered here, all 3 checked by hand. The guides start with Ancestry, 23andMe and MyHeritage.

Export your family tree first, and write before the renewal date.

Prefer to write the letter yourself? Start from our genealogy plan cancellation letter template. For the whole process, read how to cancel a subscription by mail.
