I have just been browsing my tree on Ancestry and blimey, ain't they mucked it about. All sorts of information has been added to some of my ancestors, without my consent. They have my Gt Gt Gfather dying in Mexico, and my Gt Gfather dying in Canada. Where do they get this rubbish from, and who gave them permission to add things to my tree? If I hadn't only just renewed my subscription I would cancel. |

I wasn't complaining, I was commenting. |

Yes, I 'accidentally' got it a short while ago by pressing something that said you could take a look, but you could switch back to the original version then which I did pronto as I hated the new version!! Now 'they' have changed me to the new version and I can't change back anymore. I thought Ancestry's FT was one of the best till they mucked about with it. :-S :-S |

And, Sylvia, I have just complained to them, as you suggested. I found that someone had copied several photos and documents from my tree to theirs, probably because they are too lazy to do the research themselves. Their tree contained several thousand names! |

All my trees are private on Ancestry but I can't get my head |

Loads of people have complained about the wrongly assigned place names. Personally, despite having 4 trees on there, I haven't come across one :-S |

I'm trying to come to terms with the new format. I always believe in giving things a chance. No wrongly assigned place names as yet but I can't find where you can 'search for a person in this tree'. Anyone know where it is please? |

If you have specified your place names unambiguously then you won't have a problem. |

I have now made all my trees private. |

My gripe with the new site is that there is no longer the "view relationship to me" facility, though the existing ones still appear. :-( |

The "view relationship to me" facility is still; there and it seems to show it for everyone in the tree who is related to you. |

Thanks, Kense, I'll take a look at that :-) |

Much to my surprise I find that my parents married in Andorra. |
