An added plus: it is now able to search for an existing cemetery by location. No more slogging through hundreds of St Mary's Churchyard, then another hundred St. Mary's Churchyard, then more St Mary's Church. and also, St. Mary's Church, when you want the one in Bideford! That should help reduce the scads of duplicate cemeteries.
On the home page of the new site, be sure to click on More Search Options. Click on Memorials, and the options are similar, but look different from, the old site. The look and feel is much different, but improvements have been made in some areas, as the one above mentioned. I have lost no pictures and have had no problems copying and pasting into my memorials. Keep complaining about what you don't like; it has taken years of complaints by a small group of us to affect some changes. Realize that when they hire enough people to deal with all the problems the original design (recent, not medieval cemeteries) they will charge for it. More troublesome are the contributors who don't obey the rule about NOT posting memorials for people whose graves are lost forever. Those contributors are trying to make FAG a genealogy database instead of a cemetery database!

The new FAG site doesn’t provide all the information that the old site did – including some pictures. Very poor effort. I agree with Lee, it is not about change it IS a poorly designed site.

As always, the best way to get Ancestry's attention on this terrible flub is to flood them with complaints about the new design. Lee Drew On 11/8/2017 10:41 AM, Leonard J.

Their new page stinks and is not as easy to use as the old one. I hope that number will still work when they finally get settled.
