There is a suggestion that it is a Denial of Service Attack

Both Ancestry and FindaGrave are down as I write this
Grant in Tipperary
Piper in Tipperary
Blong in Leix
Watson in Offaly
Pugh in North Wales
Evans in North Wales
Proctor in Edinburgh
Steedman in Stirling

Yes it is particularly frustrating for me as I'm in receipt of fresh info almost daily now including a phone call just this minute from a Parry relative.I've got so much info to verify and more importantly fresh relatives to add!

Yes, I was in the middle of adding info that I got from a visit to my local FHC when it started acting up. I've had to do housework instead  :(

Those of you who have ancestry apps on tablets or phones may find that you can still access your tree if you need to check on something. I can read my tree on my Samsung telephone, but have been careful not to try updating or synching. Slightly different situation on my ipad though where I didnīt think to disable the synchronisation so it seems to have disappeared into a black hole saying "Loading""

I'd tried to get on to Ancestry Uk a bit ago, and couldn't manage it, thought it was me or my pc, as it's been a bit silly last few days... quite relieved (as another "Yorkie") to find out that it's not me! Irritating, but ... what can one do? It's not a life-or-death situation ... just can't find more about ancestors' lives and deaths!
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
