I am getting my feet wet with by experimenting with the history books. I chose a standard 4 generation book. When it put in the pictures the 3rd generation grandparents heads were chopped off.
Can you explain why and how to correct that ?

Also I would like to have a 4 generation DESCENDANT poster. How do I go about making one ?

I have so many photos uploaded to “My Photos” on ancestry press that the bottom of the scroll bar has disappeared, so I cannot get the the final pictures. Also, it is extremely frustrating that I cannot delete the pics I don’t need anymore. Reducing the # of pics I believe would make the scroll bar reappear. How do I delete photos from “My Photos”? Thanks for any help!

I absolutely hate the changes you made to the photo add section. You can no longer delete photos that have been added to the side bar. Please, please go to the way it was. This new feature is a nightmare and takes twice as long and has many more steps. Old saying is “if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it”. It was not broken so please fix it back.

OK, I’m frustrated with the new photo upload feature on my ancestrypress project.

I love it that you’ve made it possible for me to create separate albums to keep my photos separate for different projects.

BUT, the upload does not work! I create the album and select the photos to upload from my computer. It shows it working and then pops back to the select screen and nothing uploads. It may add 1 or 2 of the photos I selected, or it may add none of them.

Is there something I’m doing wrong? It was so easy before.

I have just completed my book, well done Ancestry I am really pleased and overwhelmed at the quality and cant thank you enough for all the effort on your behalf, I would like to make a suggestion regarding the backdrop pages which I think really enhance the pages, is there any chance that you could do more for england, I think it would be better to use countryside pictures rather than pictures of london which does not represennt any other part of the uk, its a bit like using New York to represent all of America, although you can still incorporate the union flag alongside the st George, thanks again Ancestry

I have never printed a book before. I tried my first page, but when I add my pictures the descriptions, locations, and dates do not appear. Do I have to add these all again manually?

I’ve been working on a book for quite awhile with a lot of success. Just recently I’ve been having trouble uploading pictures. I’ve uploaded scads of pictures already but now even though it says on the screen that the pictures have uploaded successfully they don’t appear in the side bar. What am I doing wrong? Also I’d love to have state flags available as well as some additional backgrounds. Love the site!

I just love the site and the ablity to control my own tree. But I have been uploading many family photos as I have been gathering them from family members. I would now like to be able to arrange them in date order as the apper on the website.
