Re: Option to not create an image cache

I set the The Tools > Preferences > General tab, Advanced option to load when needed some time ago and then deleted the ThumbCache.dat That file has not been recreated, a search of my hard drive shows just the remnants shown in the screenshot below.

Re: Testing Ancestral Sources v7.6.12 (February 2023)

Hi Nick, I had an unhandled exception issue entering a Baptism. Image and text below refer. I tried again and it worked OK. I think the issue was that I tried to paste an image, setting the name by typing it in - but a file with that name already existed in the destination folder. (Users EH!!!). I d...

There are English newspapers on newspapers.com, 16 covering Essex 3 of which go past 1995. Not sure though how these would be referenced in Ancestry hints.

Re: Look up missing burials on findagrave?

While I have found some useful information on Find A Grave, I word of caution: I am finding that there are some bulk uploaders whose information I find lacks meaningful sources. The attached are, without naming names are examples - the volumes I think are cause for concern (just my opinion though). ...

Re: Working with Places

When working with places, in the Place List dialogue box, top right is an Edit... button, which is slightly misleading, as it does not take you to where you can Edit the place, but simply opens the View/Edit Place Details dialogue box, where you have to click another Edit... button, to open the Edi...

Re: Robert Brent M.D. (1819-1872)

The signatures of Robert Brent and Esther Head are similar in each marriage. Those for the bride are less convincing. When did he qualify as a MD. According to the LMA catalogue P85/MRY1/535 is a Register of Banns with some statistics which mentions licences at the back.

Are the two marriages the same denomination? Can you evidence of two daughters with similar names.
