Re: Ancestry BMD problem?

Has anyone else experienced problems using the 1837-1983 BMD
image search at Ancestry recently?

I notice it's no longer a beta version, so presumably all the errors
in that version have been fixed. However, if I search for, say a Smith
birth in 1930 I'm informed that there are no matches, and I find that
hard to believe.


The problem appears to have been solved by late yesterday afternoon. The
many pages that were missing from the beta version are now in place and the
search facility is working much better than before.

Well done to those at Ancestry responsible for the upgrades.
