Find Ancestors

Thanks for the tip, Ann.........but what a shambles!

I certainly won't be typing it all out. Apart from anything else, that can lead to errors which may affect the research. We all know that even one letter - or number - wrong can cause havoc

I had the same problem with IGI info.....and couldn't even send it by PM.

Had to resort to direct e-mail, which rather does away with the need for GR..............

So


The Help Clinic is gone

replaced with a Help Board that gives good advice on how to sue the site ..... and acknowledges that all the help is given by volunteers


and some of the technical problems have been corrected.



I haven't yet tried to c&p information from off site ............. still ahve to see if that will work

I have tried in vain to add info to Anne's thread on TTF re Howlett/Warren - found that if I re-typed initial part of what I was cutting and pasting it would accept it, but then when I tried that again and retyped a whole lengthy record it would not accept that - so I tried to send it by PM and that failed too - so I decided to start a new thread on her behalf and post on that and that failed - I am now going for a long lie down in a very dark room!!!!

Help Clinic still operating on mine Sylvia!!!

Just replied on a thread with typing explanation first and then pasting details. It worked.

I just tried c&p'ing census information on another thread ..... it worked


I'll try it here

And it does - so that's one glitch sorted out at last! :-)))

just tried to put George Warren details on here - doesn't work on here either!!!!

That is really weird Anogg

where had you found the information, ie, where were you trying to c&p from?
