Technical Help / What is a .heic file?
« on: Thursday 09 February 23 21:21 GMT (UK)  »
I've just been looking at some pics someone sent of a wedding in 2018. Interspersed with the pics are .heic files.
Would anyone know what these might be?

The Common Room / letters on a headstone .. ESO.M.R.E.A.H.R.H.S. ***completed
« on: Monday 26 September 22 15:53 BST (UK)  »
William Austin's grave has the letters above after his name.
I'm only recording his headstone, so I don't need any information on his family, life etc

He was was a gardener in Gosford Gardens, East Lothian, at the time of his marriage in Dublin, so maybe RHS is something like Royal Horticultural Society?
Could anyone hazard a guess at what the other letters might be? I'd be most grateful, as I'd like to group them properly in my transcription.

Technical Help / Images on irishgenealogy.ie -??problems
« on: Monday 07 February 22 15:30 GMT (UK)  »
Searching irishgenealogy, I get all the indexes as usual.
However,( for the last few days) - when I click on "image", it just refreshes the index page. I've tried several births, marriages and deaths from about 1890 to 1915.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Armed Forces / What does D.S.O. R.A. stand for? **** COMPLETED ****
« on: Friday 28 January 22 18:55 GMT (UK)  »
I'm recording a graveyard, and I have a headstone for a man called JONES ... DSORA.
Does this mean that he got a D.S.O. ? (and what does R.A. stand for?)
Or is D.S.O.R.A. something different.

I don't need to know any  genealogical background for him - just what the letters mean, please.
(It's only curiosity, really !!

Ireland / https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ acting most peculiarly!
« on: Monday 15 March 21 21:54 GMT (UK)  »
Normally when I look at BMDs on this site, I click on "image" and the image appears on my screen. Today it's downloading the image to my computer! (This is awkward because I don't want most of these images - just to look and discount them).

Anyone else had this happen?

Any suggestions, please.

Technical Help / How do I read a PAGES file, please? ***COMPLETED***
« on: Wednesday 12 August 20 12:59 BST (UK)  »
I'm using Windows 7 (I think!).

I've tried following the online advice, but it didn't seem to work.
I did open it in Notebook but it was just gobbledegook.

Technical Help / Saving a file on an Ipad
« on: Sunday 17 May 20 10:33 BST (UK)  »
We've been lent an Ipad for the duration of these weird times. (our laptop mic is broken, and we use the Ipad for Zoom sessions)

I've figured out Zoom, the Internet etc on the Ipad, but how do I save a file? (OH is trying to use AUDACITY to record himself)

Any help gratefully accepted
