	Well, well .......... they were adding stuff!!! Anyone else get this email?????? It was a historic day for Ancestry.com. Dear Friend, Today’s massive launch of military records and historical newsreels was a big hit in the press. So much so that Ancestry.com experienced record traffic — and some of our valued members experienced slow-downs and other issues on the site. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We’re working nonstop to get Ancestry.com up and running in top form. Please check back with us soon to access the exciting new Military Collection and the rest of our collections. Thank you for your patience, Andrew Wait General Manager, Ancestry.com

	Unless it was an old message, I think I saw that they are updating the passenger lists. However I was thrown off too - and I had to sign in - and I got the ropey boy!

	They're doing something!!! I haven't signed out for months, so have been very used to just going straight to the 'starting' screen ................... but when I tried to get in a few minutes ago I was signed out. NOW I had to try to remember my member name and password!! It then took ages to pull up the page I wanted. Sylvia
