ancestry.com has been down since noon yesterday; I went to their FB page just a minute ago. They don't say exactly what the problem is. A couple of their sites are running but not Find a Grave and the main Ancestry.com site. I saw some posts on the FB page saying that it 'goes down all the time' but I haven't had that experience, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Not everything can be fixed quickly and apparently this is one of those times.
