	Its still the same for me....but I do have this banner at the top of the page with I am leaving well alone at the moment The new findmypast is coming! If you would like to be one of the first to experience what the new findmypast has to offer you can join the queue here. Find out more. There are also lots of complaints about Ancestrys New Search......I have only ever used the New Search so it hasn't made any difference to me

	I really do not like the new format - the phrase "Long Road For a Short Cut" come to mind :-(
	Researching: I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

	They have been warning us about this for weeks............. I access them via 'favourites' and am able still to use the 'old' format. No doubt that will not last - they will want us all to be on the 'new' site. WHY do these people have such a need to make changes to things which work perfectly well........................

	Yes and to me its not for the better either. It's too long winded now getting to records if you don't have much info to start with

	Yes - I got an email from them on 17th of this month telling me about the "new" site. I'm still managing to access the old format by using my usual link in favourites. Kath. x
