It was out for a bt while they were sorting out their servers following yesterday's overload of accesses. (New military records on-line for free!)

This is what I received from Ancestry this morning by email -
Dear Friend,
Today’s massive launch of military records and historical newsreels was a big hit in the press. So much so that Ancestry.com experienced record traffic — and some of our valued members experienced slow-downs and other issues on the site.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We’re working nonstop to get Ancestry.com up and running in top form. Please check back with us soon to access the exciting new Military Collection and the rest of our collections.
Thank you for your patience,
Andrew Wait
General Manager, Ancestry.com

It's behaving very oddly for me ???
I am logged on as normal, but can't few any of the census images, yet I can view/edit my family tree ???
Very strange.

Ancestry.co.uk is back up - more or less but Ancestry.com isnt.
We have to be patient.. ::)

I assume that Ancestry.co.uk must be affected aswell - I don't use Ancestry.com

Hi Lloydy
Same servers as far as I know

PS Presumably they'll try to get the US bits up and running for when they wake up over there ..... ;D

Many thanks for all your replies.
Ancestry was "iffy" last night but nothing this morning - won't even recoginise my email address.

I'm getting full access on both .co.uk and .com (complete with new military records etc). Don't know why I'm the lucky one today ;)

Everyone should be ok soon judging by my experience. There was nothing an hour ago, then I could get .co.uk and I've just been able to get the US stuff, so they must be releasing access gradually to see if it falls over again ;D

Seems fine now :) - It even likes my email address ::)

Since their 'new look' upgrade I have had numerous problems searching the site. The last few times I have visited I have been able to get to my search page but then my cursor becomes ineffective and won't open ANY screens. I then have to reboot. This ONLY happens with Ancestry. Anyone else having this problem, and is anyone able to help me sort this out?

Several of you have stated you don't use Ancestry.com. I suggest you check it out now. The FREE military records go back to the Revolutionary War & many other records give d.o.b. & country of origin.
