Strangely I've just used FindMyPast and hadn't noticed any change, but have a banner across the top telling me changes are coming.

Hi, thanks for the response - that's odd -there are even some responses in their forum, which wasn't easy to find, also complaining about the layout.

Me too, seems they are rolling out the changes in stages, I still have the 'old' version for now.

Hi Suey,

You could be right - I wish I had the old version - they might be testing it on us Northern peasants first (Cumbria), which is, incidentally, the home of the Lowthers (noticed they were part of your interest group).

I imagine that the complaints will come thick and fast once it goes nationwide.

So many changes recently to searching databases - I have to access Familysearch through google chrome now and I am still getting to grips with Ancestrys new search. Hey ho!
