I am a big fan over the years of Ancestry, but I have been quite disappointed recently for precisely the reasons you cite, as well as all the ads that simply interfere with the offered services. Ralph -----Original Message----- From: irl-monaghan-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irl-monaghan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of JJG Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2013 10:15 AM To: IRL-MONAGHAN@rootsweb.com Subject: [MONAGHAN] (no subject) It is becoming obvious that many users are fed up with Ancestry and its latest shenanigans. I would add to the complaints in the article cited below that Ancestry deliberately at times ignores its own parameters. Things as simple as checking "EXACT" for two search items often result in an automatic "NO RECORDS FOUND" message; Ancestry wants to pretend it is giving you lots of results, but uncheck "EXACT" and in fact most if not all of what you get is junk. Often you tell Ancestry that your search is for, say, a female, and still more than half the results end up being for males! I am sure most of you can cite your own horror stories at Ancestry. Personally, I am beginning to think the monthly price is more than I want to pay for this kind of "service."
