Hi I have just found some extra rellies and thought I would look and see if anybody else has them listed. The search form now does not now allow you to search by place, only first name, surname and appr year of birth. Maureen |

*slaps forehead in disbelief* How could they do this to us? I think anyone who is annoyed by this should join me in emailing GR and complaining and asking for an explaination. |

I feel sorry for anybody who has X generations of John Smiths on their family tree. Think how many Hot Matches they are going to get in the future. Maureen |

It must have only changed within the last hour or so. I searched for JONES born in a certain place earlier today. What a pain. What with my DAVIES, JONES, etc I'm going to get nowhere fast. Gwyn |

Sorry everyone This is not a problem to me but that is, only, because I have never used the place when searching...... But then again I don't have Jones, Davies' or even a Smith in my tree..... YET! I do however agree that removing the additional search for place is a backward step and will register my displeasure!!!! I am wondering if this is to now tie into Hot (Not) Matches that don't use the place of birth as a match either. Chris |

I think it must be a malfunction rather than a change because it still states that you can search with place of birth at the side on the right............and it was working fine this morning :( |

Have sent genesreunited an email, will await a reply from them to see if they plan to allow you to search for place of birth as well. Angela |

Not as simple as the old name search, but if you go to Imediate Family on the left hand side, you can change the name and details that come up to whatever name and place you wish to search. Jennifer |

Am going to send a message of complaint as well. I'm really mad I discovered it had changed about an hour ago, I use this facility a lot and found it so helpful. Now it takes twice the time and I just dont like it all. Hope a lot of people complain. Ann |

Have just tried to do a quick search using last name and now you must enter first name to do the search,i have found so many leads on last names. I am not at all happy with this change!! |

As Jennifer stated; Go to 'immediate family' Scroll down for search box clear it completely by backspacing Example; kilminster bristol Adam 1980 BRISTOL Avon England Agnes 1900 Shirehampton Bristol, England Alice 1866 Shirehampton Bristol, England Alice Millicent 1888 Shirehampton Bristol, England Charles 1871 Shirehampton Bristol, England |
