Member Since: August 2008 Posts: 33 Send Message	Hello. I am a member of both Genes re-united and Ancestry. I find ancestry good searching for records but the community site on this is a million times better. Can anybody tell me why Ancestry is now only listing Births prior to 1915. There is a message to click on if you are looking for a birth after this but it locks. Vicki

	I think it's still playing up at the moment - it's been a bit odd for the past few days. I know a few people have been having problems lately.

	The full indexes are still there. The 1915 cutoff applies to freebmd as far as I can see.
