Westmorland / Cleasby
« on: Sunday 03 March 24 22:24 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for a baptism for John Cleasby, born 1727.
He married Agnes Blamire 21st May 1752 in Orton, Westmorland.
And died 8th January 1811 in Orton.

5 sons and 6 daughters were born between 1753 and 1778, all in Orton.

Technical Help / Connecting Android phone to Windows10 laptop
« on: Friday 23 February 24 13:24 GMT (UK)  »
I used to be able to connect my phone to my laptop, in order to copy photos.
Tried this morning, but to no avail!
Microsoft wants e to login - Why?!
Try scanning a QR code, they said. Does absolutely nothing!

Does anyone have any hints on how to transfer photos from an Android 10 phone to Windows 10?

The Lighter Side / Wallabies
« on: Friday 14 July 23 12:30 BST (UK)  »
After a thermal-imaging project earlier this year, the wallaby population of the Isle of Man has reached 570! ;D
These are Red-Necked Wallabies, which originally escaped from the Wildlife Park in the 1970s.

More research to be done to assess impact on other species, especially hen-harriers.

Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / RootsMagic 9 announced
« on: Tuesday 28 February 23 08:13 GMT (UK)  »
I received a Facebook notification last night:

Dear RootsMagic community,

We're excited to announce the release of RootsMagic version 9, our latest software update that includes new features and improvements designed to make your genealogy research experience more enjoyable and efficient. We want to take this opportunity to address some of the concerns that have been brought to our attention by users regarding our decision to focus on version 9.

First and foremost, we want to clarify that version 9 is not a bug-fix release. All bugs addressed in RootsMagic 9 were also addressed in the latest update to RootsMagic 8. While we continue to fix bugs, we are also adding new features and functionality to our current version, which we believe will benefit our users. We want to ensure that our users have access to the latest technology and tools, and we believe that version 9 represents a significant step forward for RootsMagic.

We also want to emphasize that while we are not planning to release any further updates to prior versions, we will continue to offer technical support for all prior versions, including version 8. If you experience any issues or bugs, we will do our best to help you resolve them.

We value your loyalty and support, and we hope that you will give version 9 a try to experience all the new features and benefits it has to offer. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team.

Thank you.

I am doing a tree for a friend.

Her GGF Albert Edward Cleasby was born in South Africa, according to UK 1901 and 1911 censuses.

The Common Room / Rose/Rosanne Haughey (nee Kenny)
« on: Monday 27 June 22 20:15 BST (UK)  »
Trying to help someone with a problem!
Seeking a marriage for Rose (or Rosanne) Kenny to a Mr Haughey.

Rose born 17 Sept 1864 (Ireland I presume?).
In Bebington, Cheshire by 1934 (informant at her sister's death); widow at Bebington on 1939.
Died 1946; Birkenhead.

Can't see her on 1921 census; nor on Ireland 1911 census.

Kenny family from Ballindaggen (? Can't read handwriting!).

Any suggestions?
