Those who have the synchronised family tree maker (which hopfully they cant change) will also be in for a disappointment as I believe Ancestry will not support it after 2017

New look Ancestry
« Reply #74 on: Friday 18 December 15 17:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Sorry if there is already a post but I can't find it. I logged onto Ancestry today after not using it for a while and it is a new look, I thought we had the option of using the old or the new however I can't find this anywhere, does that mean that I am stuck with what I have at the moment?

Regards

Hi, yes there are several threads.

I'm afraid there is now no option of switching back to the old site, it changed for good on the 15th December.

Didn't know where to post this question but here seems as good a place as anywhere  :)

Does anyone know how to put the relationship of someone on their profile please?

There used to be a place to click, which would do the calculation for you...... but now it seems to have disappeared. Hope it hasn't gone altogether but I can't find it for the life of me!
Best wishes HL

I hadn't noticed that! It's also removed the ones that were there hasn't it? I'm glad that I've always recorded my direct ancestors in capital letters, otherwise it would be quite hard to follow them back.

Mmmm,  thanks groom, that's not good.

I'm working on a friend's tree at the moment and in the process of checking things and transferring to a paper tree chart. I started to put the surnames of direct ancestors in capital letters..... but am in a right muddle now  :)
