I heard that the broadband was under a lot of strain yesterday and probably today as people were working from home because of the snow. Perhaps it will improve with the weather :)

I too found Ancestry very slow these past few days. It seems to take so much longer to switch from one screen to another now. I gave up yesterday as it was trying my patience!!

It's been a total nightmare for a few months now. I upgraded my membership to World and about a week later they changed their server and everything slowed down. They say they are working on it............well I'm still waiting and won't be renewing next year unless things improve dramatically. I resent the fact that I paid all that money to upgrade as have millions of other people and they still find it necessary to put adverts on the site..............why!! Just a case of 'much wants more' or 'I can so I will'. Well I'm sorry but a little bit of customer respect wouldn't go amiss.

Do you think it could be the adverts they put on the site? They seem to slow it down a lot- especially those big ones down the side. Nothing seems to load until they have fully appeared. Should they be doing this when we have paid so much for access? - just wondering.

Thanks Rose

I have been doing that but I thought something was wrong with the site
because I think it's really slowed down and there have been problems over the last Monthor so.
Thanks again for your reply

For the births, look under the New Records on Ancestry section. You will see England & Wales, Birth Index: 1916-2005

Click on that.

Hi all
Is anybody having problems on Ancestry tonight?
When I access the comlete BMD page, I can get Marriages and Deaths but when I select Births I gat an UNKNOWN message.
Any Ideas
