Although not too experienced, I am now quite adept at finding people on census returns. As I have had so much help from others in tracing my family, I would like to do the same if I can. What I want to know is this. When people find a census entry, they seem to have a way of entering the details without laboriously typing them out. Am I right? And how is this done?
Thanks!

Hi Janet,
The entries are copied and pasted from Ancestry.
To copy the text, click on where you want to start, then drag your mouse over the text you wish to copy and right click, select copy (or press control and c) then open a reply and press control and V or right click again and select paste.

Thanks Keith! If I can't do this I'm sure my 14 year old son can!!

PS where on earth is Fujairah?

Hi Janet, Fujairah is in the United Arab Emirates, on the east coast overlooking the Indian Ocean. But am home on holiday at the moment going back next Saturday.

UM, sorry, can't figure this out! I need more help - step-by-step idiot's guide needed please! Thanks folks.

This is your post copied and pasted.

Hold down your left mouse button and pass it over some text that is on screen it should turn BLUE.
Now depress right mouse button a small screen will appear.
Put your mouse pointer on "copy" and left click,it is now saved.
Now go to where you want to put it,right click then left click "paste"

Thanks Jim! (And not forgetting Keith of course!) Have done it at last!

One point Janet, as the t and c of ancestry say you cant actually do this :( you should try to remove any bits of the pasting which shows it is an obvious copied entry from ancestry.
