FamilySearch new format

[Bristol20]

Just chiming in to ditto the criticisms of the New and Improved FS site.  Ironically, I think this reflects the difference in coding by newer or younger folks who simply don't prioritize the level of detail potentially needed for genealogical searching.  The newer approach seems to be putting emphasis on sharing photos/images and family 'stories'. 

While I appreciate the fact that the Mormon Church makes data widely available and I've found extremely useful books and pamphlets in the library, I usually only consult it after striking out on Ancestry or the Internet Archive (only searching US records), etc.  I'm only interested in facts and hard data.  I also don't necessarily want to take my time to point out other's errors on an individual's profile.

I must have got it early, sometimes I'd login and get the 'New Improved Version' and sometimes the 'Old Version' and soon as the New Version appeared I would groan, and the old version would be a 'Yippee' and get loads of research done 

Anyone ever had the misfortune to look at Records from Preston, Lancashire (1851) whole families are separate entries! It was bad enough previously trying to find the complete family now just impossible!

And another oddity think its the 1871 Census, Entries I have found previously no longer there! Found one or two by putting EVERY family member in, its as though some are indexed and a lot of have been unconnected.

I've taken up using FreeCen much more but not available for every Census. But much easier to find things.

I'm still finding this "new search" more difficult and time consuming to use.

I've had issues with the 1871 census for a few months, many appear to have been removed.
