One wonders what the gains are with this make-over, given that so much usability seems to have been lost. Presumably the new site was not tested on actual users before it went live, unless we are peculiarly out of sync with other users. STC

There is a pilot site that's been available for some considerable time and that remains far superior in performance to the new site. I found it much easier to use and far more responsiveness but, sadly, it's gradually being taken out of service and replaced by the new site; oddly, the new site does not seem to be a replica of the pilot site ! The pilot site hasn't been updated for a long time and doesn't have the huge range of records now available on the new site. Nonetheless, if what you want is there, have a try at http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=home John B Leic., Eng
