I haven't used FTM2019 for several  months, and it won't log me on to Ancestry. If I use user name and password, it just hangs. I tried logging on via Google and got a message saying that I wasn't using a secure browser. I've tried both Edge and Chrome, both listed as secure. As recommended, I've also checked that Javascript is enabled. I'm wondering if its trying to sign me in to ancestry.com rather than ancestry.co.uk, as when I went into Google sign-up, ancestry.com was shown as the website. After several hours of messing about,  I'm at a total loss as to where to go from here! As far as I know, I've successfully downloaded the update to the program.

I’m going to Normandy this summer and would love to know which beach my Dad landed on in 1944. I don’t have a lot of information, but even to narrow it down to a few possibilities would be wonderful. He told me that he went in 5 days after D-Day. He was in the Royal Signals. Name: Charles Francis Brien. Army no. 3536965. Rank: SIGM. He joined the Manchester Regiment in February 1942 and the Royal Signals on 17th April 1942.

As I say, even to know that some beaches are possibles and others not would help.

Help! I had several family trees on FTM but have lost all the files after a computer catastrophe. My laptop now has a new hard drive and I've put FTM back on there. But when I go to download my  trees from Ancestry, the table that appears says for each of them "not linked to this machine" and "no action available". It is, of course, the same machine, but presumably is being identified as a different one because of all the changes made. I find all the "help" on both Ancestry and FTM very confusing: can anyone explain to me how I can get my trees from Ancestry back onto FTM?

I'm trying to trace William Brundish (or Brandish) who, according to his army records, was born 19th November 1794. He usually gave his place of birth as Fressingfield, but Harleston, nearby but in Norfolk,  is also mentioned. As I've outlined in a previous post, I've found a William Brundish in Fressingfield, but christened in June 1791.
He may have a brother James, as a James Brundish was in the same battalion. The Fressingfield William does indeed have a brother James, christened in 1790.
I've not found any other candidates in Suffolk, and it's tempting to assume that this is "my" William, but why the discrepancy in birth date? Three years is a considerable difference!
So if anyone is able to check the Harleston records for me, I'd be grateful, as it'll be a while before I can get back to East Anglia.
(I did find some Harleston records in the Suffolk record office, but as there's another Harleston, near Bury St Edmunds, I'm not sure if they were the right ones).

Apparently Hulme Hall in Manchester was demolished in 1840. I have an ancestor born in 1838 for which it's given as his abode. Would that be the hall itself, or could it refer more generally at that date to the surrounding area?
