Hi Ringrose

Yes - I saw that offer but I am not a member of the NT so it would have been more expensive in the long run

I do exactly as you describe Carole - never had a problem other than people just not being there!  ;)

It's driving me daft at the moment. All was well earlier today and now I am getting that horrid pink box for the details and know that life will be fraught!
I can't even see the 'old search' notice and thought I had read on here how to get to it. When it all changed before, it was like this but then when it did happen I just clicked 'old search' and life was fine.
Now I am getting those hundreds of names, even when the name I entered had been a mistranscription so was quite unique I was offered lots of choices from all over the place!
I am sure you can tell that I am feeling very cross at the moment.
Please can someone tell me how I get back to old search. :'(

Stonechat,
So do I and earlier today everything was fine- now I can't get out of 'new search' and there is no little 'old search' in the top corner.
It is so unfriendly.

The option "Old Search" or "New Search" is still there for me  :) It comes up when you click Search

Sadly, when I click 'search' it makes no difference. There is not the facility to click 'exact' or 'soundex'  either.
The old search box had 'Historical records'/ Family Trees/ etc at the top to choose from. This has none.
The whole interface is changed and search facilities all seem to be different.
I bought the new Family Tree Maker the other day which upgraded to Premium membership.
I have used Anc.co,uk with no problem until this afternoon, I began to enter people into my family tree but as far as I know that is not linked to Ancestry.

hi,

I contacted them because the 'old search' had gone - told me it was due to me removing cookies (no changes in the way I use my computer..) anyhow told to click on Search and then the sub heading 'search all records' and the 'old search' came up on the right hand side.
