Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / Opening an FTM File - help please
« on: Friday 04 January 08 09:51 GMT (UK)  »
I have been sent a cd by some family, and on it the file is a FTMB file and also a FTM family file.

I have family tree maker but it tells me that it is not a valid Win.32 application and that my FTM does not recognise/support these files.

HELP please - do I need to upgrade my version of FTM?  (Think its 2005 version).  I have tried various methods of opening it so what else can I try.

Thanks for your help

My goodnes, that was quick!!!  Thank you.  

As I say I have not long turned my attentions to this side of the family and as my mum in law has scant information (She has only recently remembered that her father came from Shropshire) it is making it all rather hard going.

I am going to order the marriage cert for John L and Elizabeth Lloyd so hopefully that should give some confirmation of details too.

Hello Roots

I am looking for ancestor info/descendants/connections etc for the HOOSON family from Shrewsbury 1800's.


I have John Hooson born c1848 Shrewsbury married (1877 Atcham)  to Elizabeth Margaret Lloyd.
Children - John L - c1882
Elizabeth E c1882
Alice J c1887
Alfred J c1889
Florence A c1890
Cecil M c1892
all born Shrewsbury

John (father and son) worked on the railways  - engine driver and fireman.

John L joined the 3rd northumberland fusiliers WW1 (have got his medal card) and remained in the Gateshead area where he married E Welsh.  His family apparently disowned him.

I have tracked John and Elizabeth within the census from 1881 but prior to that I am still looking. 

Thanks
Vicky

Hello, Jen and Bridget

Just to update you (and thank you once again for the magnificent heads-up you gave me), I have been contacted by a relative who has confirmed the grave memorials - dates, places and names!  Fantastic. 

First Class ladies..... ;D

Wow, thanks Jenny and Bridget for your kind responses, that gives me loads to be going on with.  I think sometimes the harder you look the less you see and a fresh pair of eyes often does the trick.  I am touched at your help - THANK YOU.

Bridget - may I ask are you on the Cumberland names list?  If you are then I have tried to email you and it was returned!!! lol

The name Cartner rings a bell from some previous information - I will have to dig out and find it.

Thank you so much - your help, efforts and kindness is much appreciated.  If I can share any information then please let me know.

I have obtained the marriage certificate of my hubs gg grandparents and am now how difficulty locating the correct families on the census records, especially with the Foster/Forsters!!!!!  Needles in haystacks......

I would love any connections or information on the following families please

I have Margaret (Ann) HETHERINGTON born 1852 to Robert Hertherington.  Place of residence at time of marriage New Town of Rockcliffe -

(marriage took place) in 1872 parish of Blackford.  Robert's occipation was a Farmer.

She married Andrew Foster (the way the name is currently spelt is Forster), his age given as full so can I assume that he was born c1850/1?, occupation Husbandman, born to George Foster (also a husbandman), place of residence given was Barracks Town.  (I can find no place of this name).

Witnesses were Joseph Smith and Margaret Foster.

Any and all information and pointers gratefully received.

Blimey :o  WOW that is amazing and quick - I din't expect anything much- especially about the marriage!

Hats of to you guys - thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I'll check it all out asap.  My mother in law only gave me the extra bits of information last night!!!!  She'll be chuffed to bits as She never knew anything about her dads family!

Thank you
