Update: In fact, this has apparently been on the site for a while, but has just been updated - hence why it is listed in the What's New section. Never noticed it before!

This isn't new - it's been on there for at least the last 3 years as it's one of my main reasons for keeping up a sub!
ReplyDeleteJust had a look - it's listed in the Whats new at Ancestry page, but yes, looks like it has actually been updated, rather than a new project. Never noticed it before!
