Hi Those of you with trees on Ancestry might have spotted something weird going on with their idenifying numbers. Every individual has a tree no. and a personal no. ie .....15677117/person/28652620230 Recently the personal numbers had a large hike ie .....15677117/person/68000104513 At which point I complained - but received little support. Today a new addee had the number .....15677117/person/330000021642 Thus the number has nearly tripled then increased again fivefold. Is it just me that thinks this is non viable rate of increase within one month? Robert Fowler 5464

Look at the number of zeroes in the ID number, Robert. Are you sure that the number of individuals has increased or could it be that the Ancestry numbering system has changed for some internal reason?
