Genealogy Chat

I have managed to master the very basics of using a computer, but the terminology used baffles me, like..."default" for example. I do not keep my tree on GR or Ancestry but on bog standard wallpaper sized bits of paper.

When I have made contact with a possible link I have to give them a little info by email but I have to send themm a paper tree when the link is confirmed.

Is there anyway I can record my info. that is not connected to GR or Ancestry but would make it easy for me to send???

Download a tree chart,theres loads out there free some have online fill in boxes,then you can attach to email.

Default simple terms.==means its normal settings without being altered or changed.

If you alter the setting to show text larger you are altering the default/windows setting of the computer,:}}}}.

Kathlyn-just a thought. As I learn about various families on my tree I keep an A4 information sheet on each one. When I connect with a possible relative I don't automatically share my tree but I always try to offer information on the immediate family. Most people seem to be pleased to receive an information sheet which I can attach to an email without having to rewrite anything.Sometimes sharing trees, particularly if they are huge, is quite a maze of information and not always helpful because it is difficult to work out . I don't like chunks of my tree being removed if I find someone is just collecting names.-Jle
