The index on Ancestry has been updated and it says over 9.1 million records. Fold3 says 7.5 million records, 58% complete. I'm not sure the percentage complete actually means much.
My great-uncle is now shown in the index on Ancestry, and it is the first time I have ever seen the information from his two separate medal index cards combined on one record. It also includes an extra regiment which I never knew he had served in.
It looks as though they have managed to muddle up some of the dates, treating them as though they were in the American month day year format instead of our day month year - my great-uncle's death is coming up as 9 Aug instead of 8 Sep, for instance.
