My “irritation” with Ancestry is when you fill in your search parameters and get results than could not possibly be your ancestor. Hey the guy DIED in 1883, why list six million results from the 1910 Census?
I had read that this would be fixed, but I still get hundreds of pages of results that do not fit the info in my search boxes. Arrrrghhhh…….

You’re right – they screwed up and still haven’t fixed it. I was in a bit of a hurry when I wrote the post, so I guess I was kinder than necessary!
