when looking at peoples trees and finding a match, I am handwriting them down on pieces of paper, then adding the names onto my tree by hand.
is there a quicker way of transfering them from someone elses tree to mine. its taking me ages.

Hi Dawn, There was a post on here recently where the method of copy and paste was discussed but, that in order to do it, you had to turn off something in your browser. I've checked back but ca't see it. Try advanced search
Can you do a screen capture and save it rather than write it out? I've not tried. Should work but would still require keying.
