Find - Discover Your Deceased Ancestors Page

David K B

Looks like another change in a design on FamilySearch, this time in the "find" page for looking up ancestors. Yes, it's good that we can still look up by name and by ID number (the latter I use mostly), but why the "+" signs beside "marriage", "residence" "death" "spouse", "father" "mother"??? Is this really necessary? Isn't just blank spaces more easier to use than to have to ADD these other fields? If FamilySearch is trying to copy Ancestry, they won't compete, never. Please stick to what works best as a unique site and what we are use to. THANK YOU!

I don't mind the plus signs, but what about the fact that you cannot search by exact place anymore? Please bring that back.

There is still a "Match All Exactly" option at the bottom of the page, though FIND previously used to prioritised results, as well.
