Is anyone else having problems with Ancestry BMD.

I keep getting " Due to technical difficulties etc etc.."
It will work for a few minutes then up comes the message again.

This is driving me nuts..

Alyson,

I was told a way round it earlier... if you stop at the birth/marriage/death page, and don't put in any names, scroll down to where you can choose a year, and then click there, you can pick a quarter, and a letter, and scroll through ... longwinded but possible.

Thanks Heather & Pamela.

I am doing a bit then when it crashes i leave for a few minutes and then go back again. It is taking me for ever to go through the BMD indexes.
