England and Wales Civil Registration Indexes

Paula Paradise21

I am having difficulty finding people in the Civil Registration Birth, Marriage and Death Index on Family search. I enter the same search parameters in Ancestry and they come up at the top. I am searching from the person page. Is there a problem with the search engine on family search.

Last year, FamilySearch changed the Search page and the search engine. This has been poorly received: the user interface has been unpopular, and the results obtained by the search engine are much less helpful. I believe FamilySearch has made some tweaks to the user interface in response to feedback but they have not made any changes (yet) to the search engine.

Thank you for your response.
