Been using it for the past couple of days no problem, I think it will be the same as other times they have changed their format, we get all the "I hate the site jargon", (Guilty as charged) but nothing is going to change it.

Enjoy it folks.

It may be worth checking your Trees if you subscribe to Ancestry , the new format has changed a lot of my places in England for places in North America . For example "Albert Street" has become "Alberto , Canada" and "St Andrews (Church)" has become "St Andrews ,South Carolina" . Preston too has "moved" You can see this in the "lifestory"  of individuals , and see it on the map .

I found that happened to my tree too which is why I switched back to the old Ancestry.

Could not believe that my parents  apparently married in another continent!

And Ancestry seem to be saying you need to edit the facts yourself ! So far i have at least 20 in my direct ancestors , could be a long job .

How do i change back to the old site please ?

Hi Gary,

I had a similar problem myself and almost needed sunglasses to look at the colours.

Changed back by clicking on my name in top right hand corner and in the drop down was able to change back to the old format. Got this info after I phoned Ancestry and kicked up and told them if I was ever forced to use their "new" format I would be cancelling my subscription. Guy said they had a lot of complaints - no wonder.

Hope this works.

Sorry , i had not seen the other thread. I have managed to switch back to the old site - thanks .  Ancestry need to sort this out and quick .

Gary,
Access your Ancestry acct and there is a dropdown menu under your user name.
You will find the option to switch back here
