It's possibly a bigger problem than my initial enquiry, but they are aware of it/them, and are working to rectify.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

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!

I am one of those affected too - been following/contributing on their facebook page where asked name of internet provider, etc.   But there is no rhyme of reason to it - my cousin has exactly same set-up as me - Windows 10, Edge and via BT - and everything working as normal for her!   Have tried on my phone, tablet as well and results the same.   Signed out and in again.  Can eventually get onto site but the minute I click on 'Search' it just freezes!   To say I'm miffed is an understatement - a days research wasted and out baby sitting tonight.   If it was a general site error affecting everyone I don't think I'd feel so bad somehow but when you one of a small number of individuals that seem to be 'stricken' it becomes more frustrating and you think 'why us'?

I have just spoken to them (I too have not had access all day). Lots of people affected like we are experiencing. In the main, failure to access any databases on the site overall. Customer Services advice that systems people are working on it but no update on progress or when it will be up an running as normal.

The only bit of the site I could access was my account profile which reminds me annual subs is due to renew tomorrow.... ::)
