I tried too, but same old page is all I get lol.
Seems some people have been selected for the trial and others haven't.

Just been messing with the new way to search on Ancestry, it seems a lot more easier and simple to do.

To get on it just click search in the information bar at the top, next to My Ancestry and it will take you to another page where you can either try it or go on a tour of exactly what the difference is and the new things you can do. You can go back to the old stye of searching just by clicking a button if you like.

It does say it will match up the information you put in with the information on your tree as soon as it realises who you are talking about, and input the rest automatically but I cant get this to work yet.

Still off to try and find some more stuff, there are searches I didnt even know were there.
