Not a question but an observation about how records are now displayed on this website
I have used this website for over 20 years. The way that records are displayed now is poor, I can only view one record at at time, previously records of a potential ancestor were viewable as a list of say 10 on a page. I know websites adapt and in some cases improve, this new way of viewing one potential record at a time is a backward step in my opinion.

I find the 'new' search tech repulsive. One,two,three, but it's poorly functional. the alternate options are worthless every option doesn't change the search. Same 245pages to check, change the birth date still 245 pages to check. The original was better.
P[lus now I have amateur, changing info on my tree. Why do other people their info is the correct when it is not.
I'm distressed to learn 'people' change dates remove items. I'd prefer they do their own research and make a note of where when why original research was removed.

Hi Jennifer, regarding info on your tree and it being changed. To limit this happening fill in the life sketch, add sources and put the pictures of the certificates etc in the gallery. Note that on the right hand side of the individual peoples page there is a link for 'changes made' and by whom. You can then email that person to kindly find out where the information differs and through sources get a consensus for the true correct information.
