The new search homepage will have updated navigation, maps, and access to both recent searches and recently viewed data collections.


Map on search homepage
You will be able to browse the data collections that are unique to or related to specific places.

There will be thousands of new place pages for countries, states, territories, provinces and counties. For those of you who use old search, you may recognize that we have updated and improved the place pages you have seen in old search.

The one thing I really, really, want from ancestry is the ability to re-order the search results. Let me click on column headings to sort by first name, by date, by ship's name, whatever, and I will be very happy.

Ancestry.com has tons of records that can't be found anywhere else on the internet, especially not for free. I don't think it should be someone's only resource tool, but it certainly is a very helpful one. Adroitness has nothing to do with it.
