@Wilderauthor Have you tried using @AncestryUK I found it very helpful when finding a birth certificate spelled incorrectly. You have to stop yourself from going down a rabbit warren of family history!

Absolutely furious that @Ancestry removed the remote access feature for library users during a global pandemic when library hours are shortened. This is an accessibility issue as much as an availability one for end users.

@PIRAT3Stv @Ancestry That is really neat! Science and technology in todays age is amazing to be able to see all that. My family has a big family book to the early 1600’s that gets p***ed down through the generations and added to. I’ve never dove into it though…need to!

@Ancestry I have contacted them 3 times since discovering the problem on Jan 7, and they have not responded. They made the debit without my knowledge, didn't notify me at the time, and now ignore my communications. Since that debit is tied to my account with you, I'll report you both.

@ancestryjourney I get it, but as case studies are my usual presentation method one has to always ask "What point(s) am I trying to make and does this support them?" That's how I whittle it down.

@AllThoseBefore @thesingleleaf @Ancestry #AncestryHour I agree. But fonts are an accessibility issue, especially for dyslexics.
It shouldn't be a matter of "let's use this font, it's pretty" but whether it is easier to read for a long research session.

@PatchworkGenea Pretty much everything I can find! Birth/marriage/death certificates, censuses, Granny had some pics uploaded to Ancestry that I was able to fix up a bit with Remini and include them in the binder. Family group sheets, pedigree charts, excerpts from history books. #AncestryHour

@plymptonbirder @ancestryhour I’ve been sent down so many blind alleys - only look at other trees very rarely now … if I’m desperate! And (warning: may be controversial) I don’t put my trees on Ancestry. Prefer my own well-trodden filing systems (IT and paper!)

This is another four generation pic of us, Christmas 1993. This photo has a story, too. It originally had scribbled pen all over it (typical kid thing to do, right?) The good folks at Random Acts of Photo Restoration was able to fix it! And yes, Nana & Memaw match! #AncestryHour https://t.co/7BNAob8vVe

#AncestryHour after weeks of rather rote research and a day of frustration at the library - I broke a brick wall and tracked down ancestors who immigrated from Yorkshire, England in 1857, including a child who came with them who died young. Still a lot to uncover, but SO FUN!

@ancestry_emma It was very fortunate there was on further measures over Christmas. The stats on what happened are much better than the best estimates. Had we locked down we would have been told this had resulted in a better outcome when in fact it would have made no difference.

@Ancestry The new background is ugly, slightly hurtful on the eyes and a totally unasked for and unnecessary change for the worse. Ever heard of the saying "if it ain't broken, don't fix it?" One more reason for me not to renew my sub.

@Historylady2013 @TiaBruhn @Chasing_My_Tale @Ancestry They may have used an external design company and ***umed that the company did its due diligence. I don't know but having got the feedback they need to act on it quickly. Increasing the contrast as a temp fix or rolling back the changes.

@SueWilson_235 @CeCeLMoore @Ancestry 3) They didn’t have a back up of the tree to fix it. When you call customer service it is not like it was in 2020 and earlier. I went round with them about it. Now I need to review the entire tree. The kicker is I was just getting ready to back the tree up.
