Is there any chance that you will go back to the format that you just change for research. The new format is EXTREMELY labor intensive to use. If it is there at all, I at least can't find how to choose which census I want to view. I can't see the whole screen at once and have to move the information around which is time consuming. I feel like I am fighting the site and in the last few days of trying to use the site, I now avoid it and use Ancestry & Find My Past. I used to prefer Family Search's site, but not anymore.

    Hello @cherrilfaegrose1

    Thank you for using the Community and asking your question. Are you speaking of the new search function to research historical records or are you referring to the new method of getting information from the person page and using FamilySearch?

    If it is the latter we have an explanation as to why the search has been changed: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/103620/familysearch-employee-responding-to-search-page-feedback

    If it is the former, it would be best if you use the feedback button on the middle right of the page.

    Nevertheless, we hope that you will find the new procedures workable and will continue to use FamilySearch.
