Technical Help / Keeping just Recording of sound from a video - - -
« on: Sunday 14 January 24 09:31 GMT (UK)  »
 . . .  a few days ago I took a short video of frogs - lots of frogs  in the early morning.  It is a large file which I have managed to trim . . but is there some way I can just leave the sound part of the video so it is small enough to load on RC?

Help please for a 'not very techie' person.    ;D   Please keep it really simple if there is a way to do it?

Thanks folks.

P.S.  It will be tomorrow before I can get back to answer.

Technical Help / General tech help for rogue emails
« on: Wednesday 25 January 23 08:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I have received a couple of emails from a member of our church - except they are not.  I rang him to warn him - he said he'd not had any news of it from anyone else,  - 'thanks for the warning but there is nothing he can do about it!'

Someone else is sending me emails from an address my computer isn't recognising.  And I have had a third person's name from church also - that happened for a while, then stopped, and has now started again.

It is their emails/computers which have been compromised . . .or mine?  (I am not tech savvy really - in case you hadn't guessed.)

Armed Forces / What Rank is he holding in the photo?
« on: Sunday 27 November 22 08:49 GMT (UK)  »
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=867926.0

I have just posted this Thread/photo for improvement and clean up.  (Waiting  confirmation.)

I am wondering if it is possible to tell by the pips on his shoulders what rank he holds at the time.   Might make the date more certain.   I think he has two 'pips' which I believe would make him Lieutenant - correct?   Just looked at the electoral roll for 1916 and he was an Military instructor in that year's roll . . . .  so,   does that sound right for Lieutenant?

Thanks for any help - not sure it is possible.

Simple restore, please - no new colour .

This lovely photo has just come into my posession.  I think it was probably taken just before Granddad shipped overseas in early 1917.   ( - Boys born in Nov 1914 and July 1916.)   - -   Or when he returned in in 1919  - repatriated, from occupying force, when his father was very ill.
Suggestions as to which is most likely date gratefully received.

(I have tried myself but my hands and eyes aren't what they were. )

Australia / Adelaide Hospital record of admissions ? DBO?
« on: Monday 24 October 22 23:17 BST (UK)  »
We are trying to think what DBO might stand for in the column showing under what circumstances patients were admitted to Adelaide Hospital, South Australia, in 1888.

See attached snip -

Others in the column are Drs, police, emergency  etc.   My guess is some doctor on duty in emergency   . . . . .  but I bet one of you really knows the answer, and my guess is not correct.

 . . . . . . some may find it interesting.   I know I did.   :)   

I have a couple of old photos in my family history records which I believe were made using the Daguerreotype method.

I do hope I haven't posted these before - don't think I have.
 
 
Could these be the same person??      I know the nurse and the 'apparent wedding' photo are the same - but the first photo . . . ??
Definitely same time frame, but not sure they are same woman  -  actually I would say they are not!

Thanks,
