Find Ancestors

Hi George, I sent you an e-mail I can't give you the Vol and Page no's as I don't have them. sue

i am going to e mail you some details from some of the certs i have

Thanks again to all the people who have sent me witness details. I will add these to the initial data base BUT NO MORE PLEASE. A new website is on the way, where people can enter their own details, and then search properly using different topics. This should make all the information available quicker, as you all won't have to wait for me to type them in! Hurrah for technology! Thanks again

Sarah Regarding the ~ thing. On my puter you go into 'insert' then click 'special character'. Hope this helps Jeanette

Hi Georgina, re the email I sent earlier, have now seen your recent messages. I've redone the list and have it stored in Drafts, so will hang on to it there until you advise the new site is up and running. I think it's an excellent to keep them somewhere we can all easily access them. Great idea. Di.

Hi Re the ~ mine's above the # Debbie

Hi, Thanks to all who has sent advice about getting the little squidly thing!! Mine is shown as being above the hash key, however when I press the hash key I get \ and when I try shift and hash | ?? Georgina, tried your advice from the control panel but it just gives options for setting up the keyboard and language which is set to English. And the tip about selecting insert, then symbols, I can't select insert from here. Just tried doing it in a word document, but everythings just gone weird, think its cos hes changed the system from XP to Millenium, but I've just realised all my nice documents I've typed up, all the formattings gone skew wiff, if you know what I mean, all the settings appeared to have changed, so I'm not very happy. Will have a serious word with him tonight about sorting it all out. Thanks anyway!!! Sarah

Sarah, If when you type 'shift #' for ~ you get |, try typing the key on the keyboard for |. On most keyboards this is 'shift \', and appears as a two part line, rather than one single line as it appears on screen. I suspect that your computer thinks you've got an American keyboard (there's a setting somewhere in windows to switch this, but I've forgotten where). Good luck........ Ann

Hi all, Thanks for all the advice, I had tried pressing all the characters on the keyboard to find this squiggle but couldn't find it. However, I have now got it thanks to Georgina. Shes obviously keen for me to take a look :-))) Bit wary of trying that in case characters moved but they hadn't, I'm getting there!! Thanks all!!!! Sarah

Just an update. I have bought a domain name and some webspace, just waiting to set it all up now.

Hi Georgina, how did you chose your domain and where did you get web space from? My husband is interested!

How will we know when your 'witness' site is up and running ? Will it be on the board ? I'm keen to add the marriage witnesses of my great great grandparents - always wondered if they were relatives. Mary Brooke

I've now found three instances of witnesses marrying each other. Also one case of someone witnessing a marriage then marrying the grooms brother. George

When the new site is fully up and running, I will place notices on this Board - probably under a new thread

Only just seen this thread. Sounds a good idea. I mean if they are witnesses they must be either related or good friends so it would be very relevant and interesting to see where they fit in to the picture.
