Ancestry All People Tree Search
« on: Monday 08 March 21 17:09 GMT (UK) »
Oh no, what has happened to the tree search.  If you wanted to search for a particular people for whom you knew the surname there was a facility to go the page for surnames starting with that particular letter of the alphabet.

Has anybody else noticed that this seems to have disappeared so now there is just a long list of people in alphabetical order and you can't seem to jump to the letter you want.  Seems to be a case of scrolling until you get to the letter you want.

Is this really considered an enhancement?

Hello Pheno,

The alphabet has disappeared from my screen too but if you just put the first letter in the last name search box you will get all last names begining with that letter. You can also put the first few letters and so it will give you variations on a name.

Oh yes it will thanks.  I have two major lines starting with W and really didn't want to have to scroll through all those pages.

Thanks, Pheno
