Genealogy Chat

I have sent an email to point out that I miss the availability of the family group sheets and the IGI record sheet.
I always printed a copy when researching and keep them in my family files.
Not all members of my family have a computer and looking through them jogs memories and stories.
They have also been a great teaching aid for the grandchildren.
I hope they reinstate them soon.

I appreciate all the work the church is doing but sometimes taking away things like that have a negative impact.

Regard Sylvia

The Church is continually updating and improving the site. They aim to have every single record that they have digitalised within 10yrs which is a massive undertaking.

If U R unhappy with any of the workings of the site, drop them an email. They WILL respond unlike some sites not too distant from here lol. :-D :-D :-D

Thanks Reggie. Yes I agree I have found the same problem with
'improvements' Steve.

The 'old' site has been discontinued - more's the pity.

It was far superior to the 'new' version.

But that can be said for most sites - including Ancestry and this one.

The (mostly) kids who run the sites only want to show how technically 'au fait' they are - with no consideration for the site users

I've had the OLD IGI in my favourites for donkeys years & have used it many many times,even continuing to do so when the new style was introduced, however the Old IGI is not available today!
All I am gettiing is the not found / error message, such a shame if the Old one has been removed, it is soo much easier to use than the new set up.

This was the link to the old site. Not sure how much difference there is now. I just input a couple of names and the style of presentation is not the old way

the old site was great, you could get 200 names per page and just go on and on looking. It is awful now!! I used to learn a lot about families in different areas of the county, migrating off to another parish. Has all this gone now???

I have just tried to get IGI family search but it has changed again!!!!!! I wish we could have the old site back as I used to find a lot of info on there. They also used to give you all the childrens names from the batch no. but when they changed the site you had to look down a whole list of parents and children.

I cannot get onto this site either even though I was on it 2 days ago. Page comes up blank now from 'my favourites'. I used to be able to type in for example, smith, british isles, england, devon, search and get all of them. Now I cannot find diddlysquat... anyone help please...

is this the link you are using

Hi there
I haven't done any genealogy for a long time. I am trying to find the Mormon's website which had a massive amount of information. I have tried 'familysearch.org' but it doesn't look right and I can't get into it anyway. Can anyone help? Thank you.
