Can some kind person remind me of the site where you can look up ancestors and it gives other household members plus baptism dates etc. i thought it was Famsearch.org but thats not it, although im sure it was something very similar.

i did have it in my favourites but this is a new computer and somehow has been left off. Thanks

Well I tried that but it only shows famsearch.org. Its not the same layout unless its changed.
Anyone else use something similar?

Familysearch layout does look different to how I remember Florence. I hadn't been on there for a while and thought I was on the wrong site :-0

It's taking me a while to find my way round but I wish they would leave things alone!!

Ancestry fiddled about recently! The edit function for a search seemed to disappear overnight :-S I eventually found a little pencil icon, clicked and BINGO!! Problem solved. Several days later a little box appeared over the pencil icon informing me I had to now click it to edit. :-|

Ah ty lyndi, thought i was going mad lol It just used to come up with a long list on one side and the search details on the left. It showed people from census, marriage deaths, baptism but also the parents and you could go back a long way. Just not finding what i needed to know but never mind.

Thanks for replies

Familysearch has changed recently, it's even harder to find anything now......

It really is harder to find things!

I was looking over the weekend for information that I knew I had found on there. No luck this time!
