I was born in 1927 and named Isles John Burness after an uncle Isles Kinloch Burness who was born at Inverbervie, Kincardineshire in 1894.  I only wish that my parents had named me John Isles because every person to whom I introduce myself usually comments on the unusual name !  Had I been interested in genealogy when my uncle was alive he would have been able to answer where his first name came from.  I suspect, rightly or wrongly, that his mother whose maiden name was Kinloch had a relative who married someone with the surname of Isles. Should anyone have information on this puzzle (most unlikely !) I would be grateful.
 

Can someone please explain why I keep getting the following message after scanning and saving an image then opening IrfanView to resize it :-

"Can't read file header !  Unknown file format or file not found !"

I'm using a Canon MP240 Printer/Scanner and the image is saved in a folder C:\Users\Isles\Pictures\MP Navigator EX\2010_05_23. The File name is shown as IMG but even if I leave it or change it to something else, the above message appears.

I realise that there are quite a few free pedigree charts available on the web but I have come across one which allows you to type in the names, dates and places of birth, marriage and death.  The size of the lettering  is pre-determined and the end result is very neat; much more so if, like myself, your handwriting is beginning to deteriorate.
The website is:  www.misbach.org/pdfcharts   Scroll down to 6 Generation Pedigree Chart and click the thumbnail image on the left.

Isles

My list of email contacts includes one with the suffix btinternet.com.  Despite this, after I start to type her  name in the To: box it appears as btinternet.co.uk.  On occasions I forget to alter it and my message gets 'bounced'.  Can someone please advise.

Isles.
