Does any-one like the new look of the person overview page on ancestry? I do not! it is so bland. I just wish they would stop changing things that are not broken....

It's bland and difficult to read, but that is probably because we are used to the old setup. You are right when you say they should leave well enough alone.

Pity they can't direct their resources elsewhere where they are really needed.

totally agree! It seems the other pages are fine - just the people page and the 'time-line ' is definately too wasted in space. Maybe if a lot of us send feed-back - on right hand side of each page -we may get something better. But I won't hold my breath.

It is on the Census and Resource Discussion board where it belongs. If you look at the other topics on the board you will notice others about Ancestry, etc.

How do you get to this facility on Ancestry?

I've looked and I can't find it.

Cheers, Romilly.
