It has taken me 2 Hours to:

Search for 1 ancestor ( the other two that I tried are obviously mis
indexed )

Enter the details of my voucher

I *still* have not been able to view *either* of the pay options, which
would tell me *why* I could not find the child's parents in the index.

The site has so far fulfilled *all* of my expectations (Total b**ls-up)

In the first half hour with the LDS CD's I had found *most* of the
families I was looking for.

And to make it worse, half the links in the Accounts panel aren't
working, nor is the Contact Us link. ( Though is that really not
surprising is it ? )
