I havent used the Names Search facility for about a 10 days. I went to use it tonight and they have removed the option to put in the town of birth. I use it a lot, it was very handy and a lot quicker than what it is now. I cant understand why they have done it. Does anyone else find it annoying. Well I just wanted to vent my anger on someone!

Hi Ann, it is annoying, I suspect they may have done it to increase the number of 'hits' that match, not a lot of good though. There is a thread on records about this as well. Keith

If you click on 'Immediate Family' on the left hand panel, you can still search using name and place. Jennifer

Boy, that's complicated. Why can't things just be simple. I would never have thought of doing a search that way, Redheaed, so thank you! Jacquie

I suggest we all email GR directly and complain.
