It took me ages to find it as well. It didn't come up in the new databases. I found it by going to the Wills and Probate page then scrolling down for the list of databases on the right hand side. I've now bookmarked the relevant page. Ancestry don't seem to do roll outs like FMP does and it seems to be across all relevant subscriptions. I only have the UK subscription. It was certainly slow last night. I did find one of my ancestors given as being from Lincoln when he wasn't. He was sailing on "the Goodship Earl of Lincoln". Ancestry have also not given or perhaps not realised some wills cover more than one page. The subsequent pages aren't able to be saved to the shoebox because "they are not indexed". You can save to your computer though or do a screen shot. -- Connie http://oursalmons.wordpress.com/
