What started you in family history?
Soon after my father died, I was going through some paperwork and found my great-aunt's will. Great aunt Flo Lamin was my birth grandmother's sister and remained a spinster - my mother's birth mother died when my mother was 2½ and my grandfather remarried 2 years later. Said great aunt, I believe, e...

Re: John Way b 1780 Isle of Wight
Perhaps you or some are all looking at the wrong WAY familes. Without seeing how each researcher traced back to the same WAY family it is hard to say, but it isn't unlikely that much tree copying has occurred. The fact that sister Jane can't be traced suggests it may be that baptisms didn't take pl...

John Way b 1780 Isle of Wight
Apologies for the fairly long preamble! I have a DNA match through Ancestry who is descended from this person and am trying to prove it to my own satisfaction rather than just relying on thrulines. John Way (b 1780) was a butcher, the son of John Way (b 1753 Atherfield, d 1820 Shorwell) and Frances ...

Re: 1921 census transcription issues
Perhaps I should have added that I’m well aware of the fact that the transcribers were limited to one column of data

1921 census transcription issues
I recently “upgraded “ my Find my Past subscription to include unlimited access to the 1921 census. Using Family Tree Analyser I extracted all the records from my tree (I use Family Historian) and started going through them. It’s quite a task as I have just under 10000 records, although many hundred...

Re: JFK
I can also still remember the day when JFK was assassinated. We were watching tv at home and the programme was interrupted. When his brother was killed, I was at school.
The other date I remember was 9/11 - mixed memories, as it was our silver wedding anniversary

Re: Find my past
Adrian I think you’re right, I often have a smaller window open so I can read someone’s details in family historian- but it’s only recently started as I’ve been using the same method for years!
It also is the same on my ipad
