I have a touch screen and the page when opened doesn't move using the touch screen it only scrolls using the touch pad for some reason. As the page opened with only the bottom three soldiers records showing on the screen, perfectly filling it, and didn't move when I touched the screen to scroll I assumed there were only three soldiers per page not 4 and as mine was the first one it wasn't there as far as I was concerned! I could only see it by zooming out. I should have known better as this is not the first time I have had problems with Ancestry not working well on a touch screen; thanks for your help regards melanie
