World War One / Does any one recognise this insignia
« on: Sunday 26 March 23 06:44 BST (UK) »
Does any one recognise this emblem? I presume this uniform is WWI. Shows good conduct stripe. I can not find what this insignia on his left arm means. Can any one help. Thank you Jane

Thank you Shaun, I just did a quick break down of what happened to him. I have copies of his will, his daughter Elizabeth stated no other living persons,didn't know the name of his mother, yet she lived with her when his first wife died, his Son Evan was also living in Cardiff. There is a lot more to his story, and his trip back to Cardiff. Are you related?

After years of searching, Thank you to the NLW, Wales newspapers on line - Evan Wide, was having an affair and ran off to South Africa, the mistress divorced and they wed in Southampton before boarding the ship. Due to the disgrace of this affair he was asked to resign from the police force. He became I believe a stretcher bearer during the Boer war. Hope he was happy with his new life as he seemed to have lost everything.

I am running FTM 2005 on windows 10. Reinstall your FTM 2005 on Windows 10. I had forgotten about this and had problems. I was using vista, there is a patch for FTM 2005 for Vista/Windows 7
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DO FIRST

scroll down to
STEPS FOR RESOLUTION - Step (1) "Click here" ( Light colour green so easily missed) will down load the link. Please follow the instructions on how to install on that page.
The other issue I had was an old driver for PDF. The below resolved it.

Please remember you have to install the above patch first.

To complete a back up you have to save your data from your old program to a gedcom - File, export, entire file, "Save as type" (at the bottom)gedcom( save to USB easy!). Install new program to new computer and open up your usb gedcom. This will install on new computer and new program.
Just in case!!!
My problem that I had, doing a backup from Family Tree maker 2005 to gedcom. Opening up FTM 2011 downloading gedcom to FTM 2011 I had missing files and a lot of media missing. (doesn't tell you what is missing) Attempted several times, with the same results. After a lot of research and trial and error - I downloaded a free Trial of The Master Genealogist. Uploaded my gedcom in master Genealogist, perfect! no files or media missing. I then did a back up to gedcom in the Genealogist, transferred it over to FTM 2011 again perfect. FTM 2011 was dreadful and ended going back to 2005. I have tried several genealogist programs, I just don't like them 2005 is simple and easy. I had just over 15,000 persons at that time, something like 175 persons missing!!! Good Luck, I'm again back in the market looking for another program
