Thank you, Joy. I didn't know it would be so simple to fix. I logged off and logged back on a couple of times and it stayed where it should be. I will try to remember this fix in case I click on the wrong thing again. I was using Chrome and when I would open Ancestry.com the search box had a 3 inch margin on each side. No way to make it larger. These 78 year old eyes could not read what I was supposed to enter in the search box. When I clicked on the record it opened to the usual size, it was just the step to get there. I called Ancestry. They said others have had a similar problem with Chrome. That's when I started to use Firefox. I like it best of the three browsers.
