?Hi Folks: My problem with IE9beta not loading Ancestry's old search from
the new search got (magically) resolved by IE9beta, by some convoluted
process. I suspect that the link to the old search on the new search page is
probably wrong, and that IE9beta now goes looking for the correct one &
loads it.

I want to thank the folks that responded to my original message (below).
