Who When Where

True Adrian, and it must be even more confusing if the terms aren't familiar to the indexer. However, ancient parishes should always display because they are the building blocks of any organisational system other than manors, and Sudbury in Suffolk even merited being a civil registration district so...

For me the biggest problem is the number of villages that don't show up in the search field lists. I have given up trying to locate a surname turning up in trees for Sudbury, Suffolk, England due to its absence, for example. It's odd really, as having comprehensive place name in search lists must be...

I would think it is a reference to the local workhouse. Have taken a look online. Apparently the workhouse was built in 1765 and stood in Heckingham. It may pay to check earlier burials to check when the "at the house" comment first began, although it may have been just a particular clerk ...

PaulHO1 I believe anyone living in the EU is covered by European data privacy laws irrespective of where the data results are held. That is why US companies were scrambling to be GDPR compliant. Are you sure Living DNA data is kept in Europe? A previous incarnation (well having the same address, fro...

Mick, I agree but people may be wary of uploading to other sites and that is no excuse for Ancestry not providing the essential tools to verifying matches. Though I can see what you say about trees the real problem is communication. If people contacted their matches or replied to their messages then...

It is obvious by the fact that Ancestry don't give information on matching chromosomes and segments that, understandably perhaps, they want to control one's DNA so that a tester has to follow through via them on finding matches and by providing their trees. Family Tree DNA also provide tools, as do ...
