Ancestry

They've changed the format - can I go back to the old one?

It you click on your name on the bar a the top you get a drop down menu which has the Old Ancestry option.

Thanks Jill

They have said the "old format" will be removed by the end of the year, so best get used to the new one asap!

Completely agree. And when they switched Canada over on November 5th, they said UK and US would follow "shortly after", so don't be surprised if it happens sooner.

Oops will have to get a move on - I want to print off the profile pages of each individual for easy reference on one page. New ancestry has a timeline added which now takes up to 5 pages and isn't as easy to glance at.

new Ancestry also creates chaos with your family tree if you have cousins marrying each other as both marriages are shown against both people and all their children below both people and when those children marry their cousin railways lines ensue everywhere - horrid!

Sounds like it's time to get some decent software on your computer and work from that, rather than Ancestry!

[Bo the Bodger]

Sound advice Elaine - will need to research software for macs. Also the UK goes to the new system on 15 Dec
