Re: My Heritage Data Subscription

Thanks all,

Guess I'll just miss this one out, all of the new information I find on My Heritage comes from family trees so I need one of the Premium accounts and not sure it would be worth paying the extra.

My Heritage Data Subscription

Hi All

I got an email from CP offering a half price Data subscription to My Heritage. I can't seem to find what I would actually get for this subscription and as a bye the bye is it worth having the Data subscription or is it better to have the Premium?

Re: Information from Sources

Helen
Sorry for the confusion I was meaning her name was a known thing from both certificates not a FH Fact.

Mike

I didn't even know that Family Residence was a thing, I always use Individual Residence.

All

Thanks for confirming those things for me

Information from Sources

Hi All, Quite a simple question, but what are your views on this. When I am making a citation from a Birth Certificate (Scottish) I am always torn between should I use the Mother/Fathers address (depending on when it is from) for the whole family or just for the mother or father? I ask this because,...

Re: Mouse Pointer Disappearing

Absolutely nothing to do with hyperlinks Mike, that’s why I never mentioned them. I am guessing what Helen says is what I am describing, I have noticed it is a matter of time or clicking. If I click in the windows then the position of the text position turns black or if I just wait 5 or 10 seconds i...

Re: Board Style Missing

Thanks for that Helen, it was just the same as the one I used on another forum and I was used to the look. I suppose I’ll get used to it along with the other changes.

Board Style Missing

Hi all I noticed the the Board Style that I used on the forum is no longer an option. When it first happened I thought that it was an oversight/glitch from the changes being made to the forum but the style hasn't returned. I am sorry I don't know the name of it, it is just not Metrolike or Prosilver...

Re: Location and Security of Media Files

By the way I was not speaking just of family trees, but of hard drive backups in general. Neither was I just talking of family tree, but that was what we were talking about. As for not keeping backups on your PC, Why? You would have 2 copies of your tree on your PC and have them set to "Always...

Re: Location and Security of Media Files

Mark, I just worry about folks thinking Google Drive and OneDrive is sufficient. If someone deletes something accidently and doesn't realize it within a month they have lost it unless they have another backup somewhere else (which they should have). I agree totally that if you don't back things up ...

Re: Location and Security of Media Files

Mark,

You would have to accidentally delete your file and your backup and not notice it for 31days and chances are (due to FH not overwriting old backups)you would still have a few more backups to play with.

Re: Location and Security of Media Files

I think this has been around before, I only use Onedrive for backup as my laptop has a copy of my tree and a backup (well a few backups actually) and both are stored on Onedrive as well. Microsoft also backup my Onedrive a couple of times, just in case there server fails. So if my laptop blows up, a...

Re: Residence

Adrian,

When I tried this, I found the problem with the residence being back with a g/grand father who stayed in the same house all his married life and had a large family.

Thanks for that

Residence

Hi All Is there any advantage/disadvantage to grouping residences. By that I mean, say I stayed in a house for 20yrs and I had the residence as from/to for those 20yrs, in that time there were 3 births, a death and wedding and I was involved in some way in them all. I would have 5 sources for all of...

Re: Edit Citation Text from Source

[...] is used a lot across Windows, it is just so narrow on that window that you can't make it out on a 14" laptop screen. Maybe on a bigger screen but it just looks like some dust on this size screen. Doesn't matter, now that I know it's there I'll find it from now on. Thanks again.

Re: Edit Citation Text from Source

Thanks Mike,

I couldn't see the [...], as it is so narrow at the side of the Text Box. I must have double clicked the Text From Source entry the last time I did it, as that does the same. Is their a way to make the [...] wider?

Re: Residence Date?

Perhaps the moral of this story is to always think about what data you are entering. How do you know that? How likely is it to be accurate? There is an obvious danger in over-relying on automatic tools that just repeat a set action. Mark, I actually took a bit closer look at the wording of the cert...

Residence Date?

Hi all, I have a question, when entering a birth using DEA it creates a residence on the date of birth, but when entering it using Ancestral Sources it created a residence on the date registered. Which one is correct? Technically both in this case, but not always the case as you could move house bet...
