i keep being redirected to Facebook whilst trying to search for my ancestors. i do not want to be on facebook, so how can i work around this.
this is most frustrating and time consuming.
you are promoting free searching for this Remembrance Day weekend, but in a way you want me to sign up to Facebook.
