I have read in several places, including an answer by an Ancestry moderator on Ancestry's Facebook page, that Ancestry is trying out different levels of membership to some audiences. There are apparently 2 levels of U.S. membership. Sounds like the $14.99/month option is the new lowest level. If you are interested in continuing with all the U.S. records, I suggest you call Ancestry & get it changed.
