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" ...

Re: Find my past

The three bars icon in the top right, aka the hamburger icon, only appears when your FMP screen is below a certain width. (Don't ask me whether that's a pixel count or something more complex - I dunno). Normally with a full-width FMP home screen, I see a down-pointing arrow next to "Search"...

Re: Fold3 - New UK Military Records (WW1)

Re: WW1 service record questions

... *why would an English national sign up for the Canadian Expeditionary Force in London in 1915? ... Hmm.
