Help! I've lost the 'use old tree' in the dropdown selection box. How do I get it back---I hate the new tree!!

Totally agree with you Porkie Pie and everyone else who hates the new tree - only trouble is they have now withdrawn the old tree - suggest more people complain as I have - there are too many things going wrong - its a shambles!!!!!!!!! Its a pity GU don't listen when we say we prefer the old tree!!!

I am not adversed to change but only when it works!!!
can anyone tell me how to get the search on the new tree to work
everytime I put in a name it either says it isnt there when I know it is or name comes up but it wont take me to it........ahhhhhhhhhh
I havent used this site as my main tree for a while and now I definately wont change

Awful what a mess, I have just added a child born in 1854 and it wanted to know if the mother was my mother. Numerous duplicated names as others have mentioned.

I use Google chrome and The tree still doesn't work for me. It's really putting me off researching, as i only do it at the weekends and the fault with Genes has to make me do Trople the work load.

When i do my research I update my tree on both websites Genes & Ancestry at the same time. Ancestry will take my Five minutes to record info and Genes takes Fifteen, It's really off putting.

Can someone answer this Question, Apart from the Mods on this site Does anyone that actualy works on Genes read these Message boards?

Garry :-(

According to my tree I now have an Irish man born in1827 married to my Mum and I am their son.

Is this what GR consider progress.

I have reported the problems to GR I suggest everybody else does the same.

If this is not resolved in the next couple of days then I shant use this site and will be demanding a full refund!! :-(

Just spent the last half hour adding people to my tree, they have now all disappeard.

They really Have to sort This!!!

I will simply refuse to enter any new names on the new version. I've also noticed I no longer have a pull down menu of all the trees I have access to on the new tree. Probably wont renew my membership next March, I'll move over to Ancestry.

Stephen, if you click on your name at the top of the tree page it should give you a paged list of all the trees you have access to.

Just to the right of your name is a box that says view other trees but that tends to be obscured by the search box.

Stephen, this is what it says on mine

BasketmakersHawkersTinsmiths - Since the withdrawal of the 'old' tree and invitations to view the Beta version, Estelle and Phil Moir have been reading and posting on the discussion threads, but continue to ask that the feedback or contact us button should also be used. Even if you get a generic reply, comments are passed to the production team as it helps them build up an overall picture.

Comments about the Beta site should be sent to

The Boards are not actively moderated, but posts Requested for Review are responded to.

Phil and Estelle (possibly other employees) do occassionally look at the Boards at other times, assuming they are not otherwise occupied.
You can spot a GR employee, if they post, as they have a golden star next to their board name.

By the way, I am not a GR employee, just someone who spends too much time on the Community Boards! :-D

I have a long list of names to add to my tree.

Not doing it until things are sorted.

I'll make sure to put the list somewhere safe, so I can maybe add them to my tree next year. :-P

I had problems with the new tree so contacted GR. Within 48 hours they advised me how to solve the problems. So far everything is working ok. Initially I planned to shift to another site but now I am happy to stay. May I suggest that all those with problems contact GR and get help.
