This makes me realise why I had 6 months of FMP and then reverted to Ancestry. The latter seem determined to change things too frequently and not often felicitously, but, on the whole, I find it more user-friendly.

When Ancestry changed things I didn't like it in the least. Now I am getting used to it and begging to like things. I just wish they didn't provide a list with all the countries mixed up. As en example when it comes to census instead of these being listed in years order they are listed in different country order (if you can call it order). What I have found of great use is at the bottom of the list are lists of other peoples census. If I am searching a particular name I come to the bottom of the list and open public trees and look at what others have posted on their trees about the name I am searching. Mind you I do see a whole different mixture of what others have posted so I can see how bad many people have done their tree.
