When they retired Old search, for some reason I was one of the "lucky" people who got the sliders right away. Too Frustrating. <br /><br />I'm not going to pay to be driven bonkers while they try to figure out what they did wrong. And where I previously recommended Ancestry to people just starting genealogy, I won't do so anymore.

I am comparing the documents and photos I have on my people there to be sure I have them on my computer (after a destroyed computer a couple of years ago)and will be waving Bu-bye this year. On one hand, ancestry and familysearch say they're trying to draw in more new people and then they remake the site so that those of us who used to know how to use it can't even help anyone who's never used it. Simple. Keep it simple. The results I got for the sliders and the experience using them was a total waste of time. If I were a year into it, I'd be crying right now. <br /><br />Ancestry is spending too much time and money on DNA results. Go back to records of people and make it easy to find them. There was nothing wrong with how the site worked before. Now it doesn't work.<br /><br />I am incredulous that when I started a few short years ago I was able to go from my mother to the Cookes on the Mayflower at familysearch. I got all excited doing everyone in the family, subscribed to ancestry, spent a pile of money on documents and now the sites are no longer geared toward research, they seem to be trying to do a TV show at the web site. How any newbie will ever find their way through the maze to their people is a mystery to me. Is this where they throw in the towel and any name they see that should be "theirs" gets added to their tree? I see it happening. Soon. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
