ive just gone on to ancestry, and all my tree and rellies have gone, i was on it earlier, and i did log out, it has happened before and they did come back. just dont want to have to do it all again. im so mad

Are you talking about the Ancestry web site ??

yes, just logged on and its a blank page, have no one except who i was searching for earlier

I am obviously being thick here Karen as I don´t understand what you are talking about. You say you are on Ancestry web site - by this I presume you mean www.ancestry(.)co(.)uk Yes - or NO ??

yes, the ancestry website, im a member until next february, i have the main family tree members bookmarked and even they are gone

would you beleive it, just logged on and they are back, is there anyway i can save them or put them onto a cd as back up?

Sorry Karen - see what you mean now. Personally don´t use the bookmark system so don´t know how to help. However, it would worry me slightly if this was the place where I kept all my family tree details. Do you not have a software programme (such as Family Tree Maker) where you record your details ?

no i dont, was thinking of getting it now my tree is getting bigger, can you save it on a disc? or the disc that comes with it

Yes - you can back it up on to a disc. There are lots of threads about Family Tree Maker - put it into the search box and you will get quite a bit of information. Its a very versatile program - and the facts and data that you collect are then under your control, rather than on a website somewhere.

ok thank you, so its easy to use then lol

Its very easy to use - and if you get stuck there are plenty of people on here who will help you out !

ok thank you, will have to go and buy that tomorrow, son wants pc now grrrr
