I had that problem a little while ago - I wondered how much information they could possibly want as I had given all that I could. Even when I tried searching for people that I knew were there and putting the whole lot in, it still wanted more. Are some people never satisfied? All I got was the picture of that rather smug-looking small boy.

Jess, It does not like me either. Ancestry has had its knickers in a twist for some time. On some occasions when you could hit the back button and get back to the previous screen - this is now producing strange results. One of my last searches - shown in their box on the right - made no sense at all - a load of gibberish. Maureen
