Default Ancestry problem

Is Ancestry working?

I am searching for trees, private or public, with Doris Moselle Grant who married Alexander Moore.
They had four children born in Toowoomba Qld 1920s. Mollie, Edward, Darcy John and Varl Alic.

They have all passed away.
I’m finding one or two trees. Previously I have found loads of them.

If anyone is bored, can you have a quick look. Edward was my father so I know the tree, but I want to contact a tree owner and it’s just not there, along with others I have previously contacted.

Thanks.

I entered Doris's full name and Alexander Moore as her spouse, no dates or place names etc. I got 75 tree matches.

It's just a thought but when you search for family trees ensure that All Collections in the drop down menu is selected rather than just one country ie Australia.

Also, make sure the exact match box is not ticked when you are searching family trees.

Oh, does that make a difference? It might explain why I sometimes get weird results.
