	Yes I have found that if I leave the page for long enough (over 40 seconds usually) it does display with the overlaid box which says "Explore Upgraded Website Now", which I then have to close. I'm not used to waiting that long - even for GR pages.

	I have it tagged under Familysearch custom search IGI page. Haven´t tried it today, but it was working yesterday. It´s slow, but you get there eventually. Marion

	I have just tried the old site, entered my grandfather's detail and it has come up on the 1881 census-jl

	Thanks Jimimy Scozzie and Kath, Jiminy's link works, the one I was using was http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp The box on the new seach page that says Go To Previous Site also fails for me as it gives the same URL. Ken

	You can get the old search by clicking on the "help" button on the new search and right at the bottom of the screen on the right hand side is a link to the old search. Kath. x

	I find that using IE9 (with or without compatibility view) there is a blankpage obliterating the old search. Using Chrome I can access the old search and the blank page is now a closable window promoting the use of the new search.

	I tried the IGI for submitted baptisms, but although there are several they just say c 1613 Dalton or Dalton in Furness and don't give a parent.

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	I think this is the family... (submission) Margaret Woes Pedigree Female -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: About 1642 Dltn-In-Furness, , Lancashire, England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: William Woes Family Mother: Margaretha -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Messages: Record submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS Church. No additional information is available. Ancestral File may list the same family and the submitter.

	Probably because the new family search no longer incorporates submitted data. That is because so much of it was unreliable. You used to be able to use the old search still but that seems to have been blanked out.
