How to Cancel TheGenealogist
Skycopia rates TheGenealogist as hard to cancel, though you can do it yourself online. The clicks are the easy part — expect extra hoops, and usually an offer, between you and an actual confirmation. Budget more time than the cancel button suggests.
Cancellation line: 01722 717006
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if TheGenealogist bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.

Manual cancellation steps
- 1
There's no self-service cancel button for a paid plan — email or write to TheGenealogist requesting cancellation, or call the number above (UK, Mon–Fri 9am–5pm)
- 2
Send your request at least 2 weeks before your renewal date — check the exact date under My Account → My Subscriptions
- 3
Wait for their written confirmation that the auto-renewal has been switched off
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one, warning you before the retention offer — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
What they'll try to keep you
No self-service button and no hard sell — the risk is silence. Send the request and get no reply, and the renewal still lands.
Say this: “Please cancel my subscription and switch off auto-renewal, and reply confirming it. (Chase it if you don't hear back before your renewal date.)”
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.
