I find it very awkward. I'm hopeful that they'll pay attention to feedback and make modifications over time.<br /><br />And I'm another person who resents not being able to view sources that were added in the past while I'm on an Ancestry break. <br /><br />My library has world subscription so that's my source for Ancestry searches these days. When I need to re-subscribe, I'll do it one month at a time.

The other change I noticed that any document image I have already add to my tree is not accessible now that I'm on Ancestry break. In the past when I was on break it allowed me to see already add document images.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335930991548729399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-25125860503010868492015-08-07T16:17:13.202-07:002015-08-07T16:17:13.202-07:00While looking at the record, hit the S key.

In the past, I always did a 'screen shot' of the info, as well as downloading the document, so I've been very frustrated by the changes lately.<br /><br />Also, maybe I'm missing something, but part of what you could do at the top was use drop-down windows to search a nearby area - another part of the county when it's a census record - when I'm hunting hard, I've been known to do page-by-page looking...<br /><br />I appreciate your desire to maintain as positive an outlook as possible. I try to do that, as well. However. I've about had it with Ancestry!!anitabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581214810248124603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-82763698646287164972015-08-07T06:01:20.258-07:002015-08-07T06:01:20.258-07:00I've lost count of the clicks required to do A...I've lost count of the clicks required to do ANYTHING at ancestry since the new and improved site. In the PAST, I worked on a tree there and synced with my software. I have given up on the site. Now I use my software and look in other places for the information I need. Documents, photos, notes, facts, etc. are all added on my computer. They won't disappear every two years. No more big bucks for a subscription. I upgraded my software buying on eBay for a fraction of the cost. Ancestry has lost me as a customer. My life is difficult enough without paying someone to make it more difficult. And the shocker - I went from every day ancestry to occasional visitor when I'm notified one of my cousins has added something to their tree. I use 2 other sites for DNA so I don't even need ancestry for that!Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13256855136448978468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-27295312105468493422015-08-06T15:27:37.807-07:002015-08-06T15:27:37.807-07:00They have been planning to hide a reasonable facsi...They have been planning to hide a reasonable facsimile of source-data for a couple of years. We are lucky they retained the source-data at all.<br /><br />Increasingly the site is being tailored to devices with smaller and smaller viewscreens.<br /><br />Whether the source-information will continue to be attachable to a tree is questionable, given the most recent fragmentation of tree functions and related data (such as dysfunctional and erroneous place-name displays).<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
