Theres a big thread on it which, after the initial euphoria (not having to click to see if John Smith has a Margaret as wife etc) people are now beginning to find a downside.

oooooh - thats clever and it's even smart enough to recognise when someons a servant and therefore Lord Fortescue is not their father - that could have led to some interesting trees if a newcomer got a bit carried away

Have you seen that Ancestry now lists who spouses are on the main search page, and when you click on the name it lists the people in the household and their ages!!!!
