Re: Family Historian Question

Possibly, but horses for courses. By using fhug, you are aiming the question at lots of people who use FH. This forum, not so many :D

Re: Brickwall Thoughts

Slightly off topic I know, but tracing missing censuses for someone? Look for their children, as older parents are often with a married child. Found quite a few that way over the past few weeks. It just goes to show that recording children often pays off, even if on a very distant branch of your tre...

Re: Lack of Matches

Agree with you wholeheartedly, paulHO1. Which made me think about my own Ancestry tree - it was bare branches, no siblings or siblings family and no attached media evidence. Not a lot to go but better than nothing, I hope. However I've added siblings etc and some supporting evidence for births and ...

Re: Family Treemaker

Whilst I have no knowledge of Treevault, I do have a suggestion for you. Family trre Maker (FTM) has its own built in proprietary database, which can only be accessed by FTM itself, so losing FTM may mean you lose access to your data. Making a frequent FTM backup is fine, but if FTM fails, the backu...

Re: Errors in trees on subscription sites

Brunes08, why worry about it? I wouldn’t concern myself with things outside my control, I have better things to do :D If I spot such errors in other peoples trees, I simply notify the owner once, then move on and forget about them. To be honest, it’s a lost cause. Cure one and another will soon appe...

Dangers of using Geni.com

One of my distant grandfathers, was the Reverend Hopkins Fox, born in Nackington, Kent. Doing a google search, a link to geni.com popped up, suggesting he was son of Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland. I thought wow, I’m linked to the ariristocracy :lol: Unfortunately Hopkins baptism in Nackington, contra...

Re: DNA matches

Hardwork, We’ll have to agree to disagree on this. I think these people without a tree are expecting others to do the work for them. I’ll only contact a DNA match if they have a tree. Why should I waste my time writing to people who can’t be bothered to trust other genealogists, and who most probabl...
