Hi Andy
Looks like the blogs are no longer what they used to be, where are the real meaty discussions, this really is just an advertising page for Ancestry – shame. I really miss the old Ancestry Blogs.

Hey Andy
I worked it out, they’re just waiting for the blog to go away just like old search 
TonyC
I feel as though I can do almost nothing without giving out my credit card information- this is a little bit of a problem for me, guys!
Nice to see some “comments” – everyone must have been on vacation!
Andy, thank you for the link to the message boards.
I’ve read some of the posts now and then, but the reason I like the “blog”, it’s so easy to make a comment – I have yet to figure out how to do that on the message board! I’m sure it’s a simple procedure, but I haven’t found it! Duh!!
Tony Re: #6
Both the Blog and the message boards are in the usual summer doldrums.
My guess- and it is only a guess- is that Ancestry is busy trying to finish a few things before the rollout of FTM 2012 and Springfield FGS Convention in September.
I believe things should pick up around mid-August or so.

There is a lot of free stuff on Ancestry but if you are talking about access to actual databases, the yes, a paid subscription is required (except for the few free ones available).
Ancestry is, after all, a for-profit business.

Replying to a post on a message board is easy.
In the lower right hand corner of each message is a like that says “Reply” (in light green letters).
Just click that and a reply box just like the one here on the Blog opens up, type your reply and hit the orange “Post” button at the bottom.
very amazing and impressive blog
good job
Ouch! Where did the sources go? Is there an official message about this somewhere?
hehe… that means its break time to rest your eyes and stretch your limbs. =)
Hi Andy, hope someone is monitoring this blog.
Thank you for your answer – I don’t know how I missed it.
There was a disaster at a data center, and it is being worked on: http://search.ancestry.com.
Chris #18 – Sorry – the link doesn’t work – a bit like Ancestry a while ago:)
What was the disaster?
Re Disaster….
Did someone lean of the big red button that carries a sign – “Do Not Touch”

Temporary problems my eye (or something similar):)
Bee Re: # 17
I look forward to your comments on the boards!
When I click “reply” on the boards, it brings up my “user name” which is different then the pen name I use on the blog, and I don’t see any way to change it, so I’m not sure you would recognize me,
Andy {unless it would be through some “dumb” question!}
Happy 4th of July, everyone!

I want to make a print out sorted by place name but cannot find how to do that. Nor do I see where I can post a question like this. Could you possibly help me. Thank you.
