7th time of posting Hi Bill I am glad to hear to you found new records in the newfamilysearch I find it a dispiriting experience So many multiple copies of the same data, and trying to narrow it down to something useful is a tiresome task I return every now and then in the hope it will improve as it has since it was launched but still a long way to go I just hope they keep the old familysearch open as the new is hopeless at present Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) >I have found good records in it that were not in the old version, including > the christening of my 2ggf Robert Ing. > > > Bill Buchanan

I agree that the new version of Family search is hopeless. I love the fact that there are records there that you can download, actual copies of the records etc. But it is so hard to narrow the search down to anything useful. It takes soooo much time wading through everything. The whole thing is SOOOO slow. I just hope things improve. I loved the original beta version, but not this one.

When I try to look at the actual documents, it changes my login name to NULL and won't let me see it. When I hit the BACK button, NULL changes back to my username. I emailed with Family Search and they said it was because I was using the BETA site and gave me a URL to use that was exactly what I was using. Any suggestions? Don Rubarts
