How in the heck do I get to the old version? This new format is horrid... difficult to navigate... especially for us older people who didn't grow up with computers. I see all sorts of info that I don't want displayed or that is generally useless. This life story feature is just junk. As it stands, this site is almost useless for me. Can you do something to help?

Go to the right side of the page up at top where you sign in, and in the pull down menu there will be a place to go back to the old, classic ancestry, you know however, soon they are pulling the plug

Hi Nancy, I agree with everything you say, I find the whole format difficult to work with, the background colour is terrible, hurts the eye, but that life story page is utter rubbish, just junk like you say! The mistakes they have made on there are really really bad, how dare they take it upon themselves to rewrite our history. We are quite capable of doing our own input, we are not kids in school! Have you signed the save old ancestry petition online, we have got to do all we can to prevent this injustice. Would love to hear back from you if poss

I didn't grow up with computers either and I'm still trying to get things rolling with the new site. The problem I have is that people who were related to me have moved to a different position and trees get all mixed up. Or now with their new system that you can see if your related to other people all at the same time, I know for a fact there are a couple that are related that don't show up. So it's a matter of trust now for me of there science and plugging it into a computer program.
