Digitisation of Home Guard records
See https://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/news/the-national-archives-contract-digitise-home-guard-records . That is an interesting article (thanks WDYTYA mag) because it contains the clearest statement I've yet seen about how the commercial relationship works - e.g. no, TNA are not paying thei...

Re: Britten Green marriage
Curiously the Bishop's Transcript appears to hyphenate her first two names, leaving "Bird" as the surname, i.e. "Elizabeth-Britten Bird" - this happens twice, so isn't just a fly-speck on the paper. The Parish Register omits the hyphen, so it's as if, when copying out the BT, the...

Re: Family Treemaker
Looking at my email later I found an email received at just after 7am from TreeVault offering me a reduced subscription for their backup/restore service. I am deeply suspicious of this. Would it be possible for them to sabotage my tree? If you didn't open the mail until after you lost the FTM data,...

Re: Lack of Matches
I have, so far as I can tell, loads of branches that don't appear to be linked to any of my Ancestry matches. My Griffiths line has DNA matches descended from my G-GP Griffiths and from my GG-GP Griffiths - but then, so far as I can see, nothing further back. Which is a shame since GG-GF Griffiths m...

Re: Errors in trees on subscription sites
... how do I prevent MyHeritage from including these children as my gt grandfather’s. On top of this, they have added three more children with the same surname so giving him 9 children which is ridiculous. ... I don't know how MyHeritage works - can anyone say where they get their "tree" ...
