Anomaly in FMP indexing
Searching for a baptism on FMP in Warrington, I restricted the search to Lancashire, and all that came up was a transcription for the person concerned. Changing the restriction to Cheshire however, brought up the same christening, in the same church as before, but also with an associated image! I kn...

Re: Number of Christenings on same day
I was thinking more along the lines of it running out, unless an unusually large fontAdrianBruce wrote: ↑04 May 2024, 22:42
Even so, 105 baptisms is a bit much. I'd have thought the water in the font would be getting a bit thick!

Number of Christenings on same day
I saw this today, and wondered if it was a record: On 17th June 1886, in Christ Church, Southwark, the vicar baptised 105 children in one day. They wouldn’t have had the usual baptism, because even if the vicar was on duty for 8 hours, it only allowed around 4 minutes per Baptism, so he must have se...

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

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...
