Thanks for the info. I was aware of the odd bits in NBL which used to be DUR but not Crayke, near Easingwold.

Durham / Easingwold?

The list of towns at the top includes Easingwold. There is an Easingwold in NRY. I have never come across an Easingwold in County Durham.

Hi Mike, where do you get his rough birth year from? In another place you said he was born about 1760 not 1768.
As he was said to be Husbandman when he married I’d say he was unlikely to be only 20 years old.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA match 1147 cms
« on: Monday 20 May 24 23:13 BST (UK) »
Re generation slip, I have a relative whose first and last child were born 42 years apart.
So there is a nephew who is 20 years older than one of his half aunts.

Where was your G Gmam when she got pregnant? If it was in some port on the east coast it lends support to the idea that her “lover” was a sailer.
Also when was it? Second World War there was lots of movement around Europe. I don’t know about the First.

I guess UT might be Under Training.
The Telst could be telegraphist, ie the person in touch with the command room. Or telephonist.

Leon, If you want to show both Ancestors and Descendants in a chart then that is what is usually called an Hourglass Chart and the chart I posted is one of those.
I have a copy of RootsMagic and (if the version you have is similar) then in the menu on the left is a "button" called "Publish" which will bring up a screen as attached. On that screen clicking on the All Reports and Charts will bring up the full list of all the different Reports and Charts which can be generated.
On the main working view which you use to input data (see attached) you can easily switch between different views such as Family, Ancestors, Descendants (list not chart), etc.
You may have already seen this for yourself if you have been trying it out.

Yes I see that RM does let you jump from Family view to pedigree (Ancestors) chart or a list of descendants. However I prefer Reunion's Hourglass view which lets you see a chart of up to 4 or 5 Ancestors and Descendants at the same time and the central person can be altered within the chart as you go. Very handy for trying to remember how people relate together.
Attached chart just shows 1 up and 2 down of some distant cousins. The quality is deliberatley made poor.
Facebook - never used.

I use Apple tech.
I chose to use Reunion some 8 years ago. I have tried RootsMagic but find it lacks two things over Reunion.
With Reunion I can use Reunion Touch on my iPad or iPhone. This lets me view and alter my files at remote places where there is no internet or phone signal. RootsMagic lets you view but not update.
With Reunion I can switch from Family View to a Tree View with one click. Other programs tend to make you produce a Report if you want to see a Tree View.
Few people use several different programs so we are all somewhat biased in favour of what we are used to.
Most programs have a free trial facility. Worth checking as what you start using is likely to be with you for years though you can always use gedcom to transfer your data from one to another.
Some programs will automatically sync with a tree on Ancestry.
Media files will not generally move between programs.
PS there are lots of discussion on this topic on a sub-board to the Technical Help board.
PPS just realised I forgot the “free” bit.
