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

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.

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