Perhaps it is a protest against all the recent changes.

Now if it was findmypast, that may be more likely ;D ;D

Ancestry was off all last evening and most of today. They told me that they hoped to get it back up ad running in a couple of hours, but that was six hours ago and no sign of it returning. It's really frustrating for those of us who were on a roll, but worse was for the bit of time it was on this morning I noticed that some of my stories were missing.  ???

Hi all

Ancestry Facebook page seems to be the best place for updates:
https://www.facebook.com/Ancestry.com

Seems they have had a DDoS attack.   :(

From what it says on FB it seems to be beyond their control. I'm sure they are just as frustrated as we all are, but I'd rather they took time and sorted it and made sure that all our data was safe rather than rushing it and causing more problems.

Absolutely, take time and get it sorted.
