You maybe experiencing problems because ancestry are in the throes of
introducing 2FA (Two Factor Authorisation).

There have been many complaints from users of software that suppposedly synch? to trees
and they have been unable to connect without some addtion their usual login details.

Contact your software support and ask them what is required to use the same.

Good luck

Thanks Jim. Fingers crossed, I’m logged in now!

Hello - I experienced this a few months ago. This is what FTM support advised me to do - and it worked.

" I would suggest updating your 11th Gen Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics video adapter driver to the latest v31.0 - that should help to resolve the problem. You can download the latest recommended driver for your video adapter from Intel website here. Or you can use Intel's Automatically Update Your Drivers solution on the Intel Download Drivers & Software webpage instead."

Thanks Martin -your help is appreciated. Unfortunately it hasn't worked for me - no Intel updates identified.

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.

Thank you all for the replies. I’m going to play safe and get the USB - that £25 could save me a lot of stress in the future!

Family Tree Maker 2019 is available as download-only, DVD or USB. My laptop doesn’t have a DVD, so that’s out. The USB version costs £25 more than download-only, if you count the postage in the price. If I get just the download, what happens if I replace or have to wipe my laptop at some point? Would I be able to download it again without too much hassle or any extra payment?

World War Two / Re: Which beach did my Dad land on?

Thank you both very much for your help. I think we’ll have to settle for visiting all the British beaches - would like to do so anyway. But I’ll look into getting Dad’s service record, as it would be interesting to have it. Of course I now regret all the times when I was growing up that he reminisced about his army days and I didn’t want to know!

...I’ve found some letters he wrote to his sister at various dates. In Nov 1944 he was writing from 130 Bde HQ, and a letter in Dec 1945 is headed 98 IND INF BDE SIGS. Nothing nearer to D-Day than those, unfortunately.

Thanks Max. I’ve looked at the documents I have and none give more detail of unit other than Royal Signals. The only thing I’ve found is a slip of paper confirming his entitlement to medals, issued by 53 Rft. Holding Unit. No idea if that’s a clue! I’ll check whether my sister has anything else.

World War Two / Which beach did my Dad land on?

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.
