And I have just realised why! You are all on Records to see what you can find out.! |

I viewed and printed off info and census pages for 5 households. It took me over 2 hours. I think GR kept it open for longer because of all the problems. |

I gave up after 15mins, I thought it was due to the influx of everyone trying to get on to the site. |

what gr should of done is do a day free or if not all day free, at least a few hours as the world and his wife were all doing the same thing at the same time, i only managed to get 4 records and that was down to sheer purserverance, i would of loved to get more info |

It was a very kind gesture, but I suspect GR assumed many more people would prefer to be partying than being on their computers and were thus massively overloaded; however, I appreciated it, and was lucky in that I managed to download 10 census images in between the "maintainance" breaks. In several cases, because the view download seemed to hang, I then clicked on "download image", trusting that it was the correct one - in each case the jpg downloaded in seconds, and I was able to view it that way. |

Mandy that has solved my thoughts - wondering whether to join Ancestery or Find My Past! |

My ancestry is up for renewal in a months time and am also thinking of looking at find my past unless you have most expensive subscription on ancestry you are unable to access a lot of info |
