I have just tried Ancestry, via BT Broadband.
I have no problems searching etc. However the following notice pops up across the top of the page:

"Note:  You may be experiencing some intermittent service with the Ancestry.co.uk website. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the problem as quickly as possible."

There seems no rhyme or reason to it - those affected using all different methods of access.  Mine being BT, Windows 10, Edge and living in Suffolk but my cousin with exactly the same setup also in Suffolk could still access with no problems.

All I know is that restarting my router/hub (even thought I lost internet for half an hour as a result) has fixed the problem for me.

The good thing is that usually when people start having problems with Ancestry,they are often working on uploading a lot of new records...............we can but hope!

If you get into Ancestry, does it make any difference if you "Sign Out and Sign in Again"?

Maybe the work on their website is restricting the number of users who can search etc.

Could be something connected to the big Windows 10 update next week? Hope not that will mean more problems for us!

Hi Annette,

tried turning it all off (got quite excited in anticipation) but no joy for me.

I can't even get the site to load, let alone login and log out as some have tried.

So sorry it didn't work for you, denmart18.   It was my 'last resort' and cannot explain why it worked for me (but thankful that it did).
