The search for ancestors page has just changed. Whenyou enter name, dates and birthplace, instead of getting resuts from the specified birthplace you get people of the same name fromall over the world. Anyone know how this can be overcome?

Perhaps FamilySearch is trialling another system (alongside the "old one") at the moment, because I did a search just now for a John Smith in Gibraltar and just got two results. Did your search page have a different format to that illustrated using the link below?

Yeh - I see what you mean - seems like we have gone through some sort of upgrade

and things are not quite working as they used to.

we will report this and keep you posted.

Hi Dennis, thanks for getting back to me. I'm connecting up families in Gibraltar, which only has 30000 people. You cannot specify the country now, which makesit impossible. I got ​3/4 of a million people last night to search through!
