Who When Where

As you can automatically (your words) add items from Ancestry, it sounds like you are also using a program, as well a paper and pencil. Personally, I would keep the manual tree simple,( i.e no C & S) and store these details in your program only. Failing that, I would just note the site and recordset...

How do you add them at present, that makes them cumbersome? I would assume that as you are using a paper tree, rather than a family history program, you would just be adding notes to say where you got the information from. Or am I missing something?

Adrian, I received the same response from FMP regards my complaint, but they didn’t seem to get the bit about flickering, as it wasn’t mentioned at all. I sometime wonder why we bother complaining, as they don’t appear to read the details of the complaint, but just note it the complaint was somethin...

Adrian, I have also complained to FMP about the flickering. Seems to me they haven’t thought it through properly. I have also complained to Ancestry about the popups that appear when trying the filter sliders on their results page. These popups are supposedly there to ‘help’, but they are more of a ...

It does my head in, so how an epileptic must feel, heaven only knows. It is just as bad on their sea...

Apologies Mick
I should have made it clear that The obit said he lost his foot whilst working in the mining business

Nuff said

Meekhcs, You know what they say about making assumptions :D There may be another reason for losing his foot, apart from a mining accident. Did he lose it through illness such as diabetes, or an accident with a horse and cart, when a brewers drayman ran over his foot? The reasons are manyfold, so kee...

I think it says "Marked (ie the sign of the cross) in December, since dead/dec'd". The note in the right hand margin gives the DOB but I can't work out the month - possibly September? - 24 1849. HTH The birth was registered in 1849 Q4, (Ref 2 355) so Sept seems likely, as a 24th Sept registration w...
