Just did a few searches tonight.  Didn't find my people (again!) but would have been surprised if I had.  But the site worked fine - no probs!  I use Safari with a Mac.

I'm still finding it impossibly slow or timing out, the same whether I use Explorer or Firefox. I haven't known it be like this before - obviously my turn to suffer!

It is a bit slower today, but I have found some interesting films to order from the Family History Centre, which I don't remember seeing before.  I think they must be updating and/or adding more information to the site.

I'm not sure they have added new films to the catalogue - but they have definitely added new indexes to the IGI - I found my previously not found gg grandfather in Kent  ;D ;D

I use IE7 and up until today I have had no trouble but couldn't get on today.
It must be an intermittent thing with family search.
Will try again later.

From time to time, people say that Family Search have added entries but I've never ever seen any evidence of this.

Now Trish says it's definetly happened. Do you think we're in any danger of LDS actually telling us what they've added? I know family history research isn't their primary 'raison d'etre' but it would be helpful!  ;)
