The Common Room / Invitation to Edit F/Tree
« on: Monday 17 August 20 15:23 BST (UK)  »
My cousin,who is in Ausralia is in the process of "doing" her tree,which includes quite a lot of our mutual family,which I have told her to copy from mine initially to get started!.

She has 3 trees,with 6 or 7 people on them,1 of which is Public, somehow she has got in a real muddle,mixing up  her husbands family with ours and not including her father at all ???

She has asked me to edit it, but the "invitation" to access and edit is  just  not working(she insists she is doing it correctly!)

Has anyone used the facility recently , does the fact she is in Aus make a difference?
Can I do anything from this end(UK)?
Her sub is up tp date.

I am tempted to suggest she deletes all her trees and start again (I am not keen on being an editor in some elses' tree) but unless I can sort her out,the same thing will happen again!!

The Common Room / Microfiche Readers
« on: Wednesday 04 March 20 10:16 GMT (UK)  »
I recently bought a microfiche reader off e-bay (I still have a lot of p/rs on fiche).

It arrived very well protected and has taken ages to unpack(like peeling an onion,layer after layer of cardboard and plastic bubblewrap!) No problems with that.

The problem I do have is that the seller removed the 2 glass panels and packed them seperately,now I cannot work out how to put them back ???

There is no "paperwork" included.

There are others for sale on e-bay and I have tried "zooming" in but still cannot work it out.

Has anyone any ideas please?!!

The Common Room / "Spouse"

Does anyone who uses Family Tree Maker know if it is possible to record the names of the parents of an illigitimate child without them being "automatically" labelled as "spouses".

Technical Help / Amazon Echo
« on: Thursday 03 January 19 09:34 GMT (UK)  »
Advice sought!

I am hoping someone is familiar with this piece of technology!

I gave my son one for Christmas and he is unable to download the App,neither of us is very technically literate :-[.

He gave me his Tablet just before Christmas (which is up and running for me) and his attempts to download the Echo App keep "defaulting" to the tablet.

He has a Google e-mail address but does not have his own Amazon Account,I think he needs to open one before he can download the App,before I try to convince him-am I right?? :-\
