Is anyone else experiencing problems with the Surname Summary facility?. It appears a seach button that one has to press has been added to the page.

While tis appears to work fine, if I click on names newly added to trees, it displays exactly 300 names no matter the number of new names added. This even applies to only one new name.

there's more problems than just on the Surname Summary!

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

Report it to GR and they will fix it.

It is most likely just a data index that requires rebuilding. We used to get this sort of thing now and again at work following database upgrades, and it was sorted in no time.

As a temporary workaround until GR fix the problem, just go into Search all Trees with the name you are interested in, then the added within xx days filter works ok.
