No, it's not just you, and I reported it to Ancestry on Wednesday - the guy I spoke to also couldn't access, so he's looking into it.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

I've just been in and did a random search on the baptism records and they seem to be accessible.

The problem is how to now get to the records.  Yes, if you go "round the houses" you can get into the records, but if you try to go the "easy" route from the home page "Parish", then Region, then County, it is not possible any more.  If you hit "Parish" the next screen takes ages to load, and hitting "Midlands", for example, produces nothing.  All the other short-cuts from the home page, Military, Probate etc. all work as normal, it's only "Parish" where there is a problem.

The guy from Ancestry, used that route whilst I was talking to him and came up with the same result - zippo.  :o

I just clicked on that route and seem to get in OK.

Added - got to Kent in about 2 secs:

Ah well, perhaps it is Chrome - both I and the Ancestry guy had the same problem, and I still can't access via my preferred route.

This is the part of the home page which I used to be able to use to progress to Region and then County.  But it doesn't seem to work any more.  I think that uk is  missing from the URL = a... .co.uk/cs/   /parish .......
