It must be the FindMyPast/SP Brightsolid link up that's the reason for the extra Minor Records appearing.

Can I claim a rebate for being offered the same on both sites  ::)

Hi MonicaLesi,

Wow, you are 6 years younger, officially, result. LOL.

The new format looks very cramped, hoped it did not cost a lot of money.

Hi Tom, hope you are well  :)

The new layout does look cramped but as Anne said earlier, I think for people used to the site, likely we will get used to it in no time.

I am always happy for any changes, within reason, when new databases are added which open up new research avenues for people.

Monica

PS: Not only am I six years younger but I've told my youngest brother he is now officially my twin and he is four years younger than he thought ;)

Nice one Monica - just keep this posting discreet or that'll be another reason for the government to delay your pension age!

Just logged on to try.   Can't say I like it, it seems very messy compared to the previous simple display.    I was very happy with the previous layout, but as you say we get used to things - it's the strangeness at first.
The big thing for me is that I got in and found all my previous searches, saved certificates and timeline were all still in place.
Sancti, I do hope your problem rights itself very quickly.
