I was just on Free BMD and was surprised to find no reference to Mary Elizabeth Ormston or Ormstone over a long period. I finally realised that I had not read the instructions and should have been looking for Ormston Mary Elizabeth. |

Don't worry Grampa, I do that ALL the time!! You would think with only two ways to put the surname and firstname it wouldn't be possible to get it wrong so often! Merry |

We call it a 'senior moment' round here and I don't know about anyone else but mine are getting more frequent. Is it a trait of family history buffs???? |

Jim we've all done that! And put 1941 when we meant 1841. and clicked on Wales census and then wondered why we couldn't find our English relatives... |

My mum can just about manage to send an email unsupervised, but I think anything as complex as Ancestry would be beyond her... |

I've come to to the conclusion that starting this family tree is making my senior moments a lot more frequent. Mary......sorry Jean LOL Even that doesn't make sense 'a lot more frequent' |
