Are you looking for the " Jump back in " on the search page, Rayard? On the search page I am looking at presently it is at the top of the right hand column, immediately above the section called " Explore by collection".

Biggles50:  I totally agree - why is all this US stuff coming up anyway? And why am I given, every single day, the information that long-gone ancestors are 'celebrating' their birthday, wedding anniversary, death today? (this irks me the most I think). I already have that information and although I am interested to have found the links within my family, these actual 'milestones' are not of the least importance...the home page is now full of nonsense.  It took me an age to find my Shoebox which seems to be nestled in with message boards and collections.  And, as I said before, do you think they are reading this post and will take this mess away?

Hi Millmoor, thanks for helping but now that the homepage has changed it's totally different and it's a grey panel with nione of those old features on it.

I'm relieved that I don't keep my tree on Ancestry.   I don't get any of these unwanted hints.
They do sometimes try and help me with a search I've recently done, bless  them.  It's almost always something done for someone else and I'd long moved on.  :)

I had an email from them to say my tree was growing and I'd added eight people this week. I don't keep a tree on Ancestry!

I do get that occasionally, because I'm an invited guest on one other tree.  Fortunately I don't get their hints  ;D

It’s probably because all you have to do is put a name into their website and a whole (flawless) family tree will be laid out in front of you!
