Usually when it does that to me, I pop off to another site on a new tab for a few moments, then try again, and it's fine.... (gulp) ... touch wood?

To be fair they had put on a warning at the beginning of the week to say that they would be undertaking maintenance between Tuesday and Thursday and that some parts of the site may be unavailable during this time

When I saw this title I thought someone had claimed descendancy and added gremlins to their tree hehe! I suppose it could happen!

Been fine in Dorset!

Still not working for me - was can;t reach the server, but now have a page with a fetching beige background and one single, empty, outlined box!

This might explain it - have had Paypal trouble this evening as well

Apparently they have had a DOS attack on their servers ........ which means someone has tried to hack into them :(

Ancestry haven't, apparently one of the companies providing DNS services (ie. how you connect to Ancestry and other sites) has had problems. Its been widespread apparently in the US.
