Ancestry is out here in New England too.  I suspect it's part of this larger problem but who knows.

Called Ancestry, they said it is down for maintenance. I said why was there no notice?! They were fudging the answers, then came back and said unscheduled maintenance. They don't know when their site will be back up.

Not just Ancestry, many websites are down probably due to the Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s outage.

Findagrave has been out all day too... haven't checked this evening though. I was hoping they would have chased the gremlins away by now
