HOW DO I GET TO THE ARCHIVES

Wonderful to have an additional Canadian census in the collection! Thank you Ancestry.

However, images from York West (Toronto) Ontario are showing up as if in Prince Edward Island. A search using “Ontario” found the family I was looking for, but reported them to be in PEI in the search results. The images are of Ontario pages, but the breadcrumbs along the top of the page say PEI. Obviously a glitch somewhere, and if I had not had the citation information already, I would not likely have found these folks.
I too could not find a place to report this to someone who could fix it.

Thank you, Ancestry, for this index. I’ve had no problems with it. I also appreciate the fact that the transcription corrections I’ve posted lately have been fixed faster than in the past.

Wonderful-Ancestry giveth and Ancestry taketh away-The Tennessee Marriages data base has the images taken away. The message says “temporarily disabled”. I hope that does not mean for good but I would not bet the farm on that.

Ancestry doesnt seem to have a spot where major errors can be reported. For instance, this 1891 census has the entire county of Albert County, of New Brunswick, all 10,972 individuals, mistakenly transcribed as being in the province of Manitoba. And if you look up Albert County in NB, there are 0 results.
Anyone know where such huge errors can be reported so they can be fixed sooner rather than later?

Great that the 1891 Canada census is available! Now if only we could view the actual pages…the images don’t load. This is also what has been reported by others. Ancestry should have done a bit of basic quality control first.
