	I hope someone can help me with this. When I do a search on Ancestry I can enter the name of the person I am seeking and the year and place of birth and residence. However if I try and enter the name of a spouse or relative that box is 'greyed out' and I cannot type in it. I have tried logging out and re-entering the site but no luck. This problem is only on my laptop, it works fine on the PC.
