Hi Margaret I have to agree with you On the newfamily site, look at the bottom in tiny writing there is a link to the old site But you can go direct from here http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp Just click "Search Records" to get the familiar options I use old familysearch daily , newfamilysearch is almost useless, I might try something once every few weeks and generally come away empty handed and very frustrated How long the old site remains open is another matter so use it whilst you still can I have sent feedback on the uselessness of the new site many times but they are seemingly deaf to comments Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > I hate the new FamilySearch format. Can anyone tell me whether the old > format search facility is still available and how I can access it please? > > > > With thanks, Margaret Nichols
Hi, Yes, another one who agrees that the new familysearch site is cumbersome and clumsy to use and is not a patch on the old one. Nevertheless, we cannot complain too much. It is, after all, free. Thank you LDS, but please don't remove the old site.
