I had the same impression. I tried to search for a passenger and was totally surprised at the new site. It was impossible to use and I feel pretty good at searching. Horrible site. I actually found the record on Ancestry which is usually harder for me to search for passenger records. Thanks for taking the time to call them. I didn't even try to sign in because I was so disgusted with the site, I just got off. I just tried to sign in to review an immigration file I had found before as > one of the names on that register has popped up in the family and I wanted > to review the manifest. !st I was unable to sign in under my old acct > info. > > I sent a request for my PW but by then it had assigned me a new acct...I > JUST finally got someone to return my call (212-561-4588) and spoke to > someone who is involved in all the website changes and they are anxious to > hear about issues people are having. > > In my mind they have made the site virtually unusable.
