The Common Room / Help from a Synagogue?
« on: Thursday 23 May 24 12:44 BST (UK)  »
Has anyone contacted a synagogue for help and been answered?  I'm researching my late mum's cousin who married his second wife firstly in a London Register Office and then, 21 years later, they married in a Sephardic synagogue in London.  Both had been previously married; his name too common for me to find his first marriage and hers only appears once....when they marry the first time!

I'm assuming the man converted as his unmarried grandparents were Ashkenazi father and Christian mother.   Would a synagogue hold records of his conversion or any other family details about them?

Technical Help / Printer problems
« on: Wednesday 03 April 24 10:59 BST (UK)  »
I've just had a new router installed but printer (WiFi) not working.  Printer is several years old.

Is it time to get a new printer or do I need to do something else?  Printer is HP Deskjet 2540. 

Have to pop out for about an hour so will check back later.

Thanks.

Looking for advice please.

Technical Help / Tablet trouble?
« on: Saturday 10 December 22 11:05 GMT (UK)  »
My Amazon tablet is 3 years old but recently showing a couple of niggles. It gets to around 10% charge left but then drops rapidly; it also seems to take longer than expected to fully recharge.

Is it time to think about a replacement?
