The Lighter Side / Re: The worst Ancestry transcription ever?
« on: Thursday 15 February 24 13:12 GMT (UK)  »
I did some transcribing for Ancestry a couple of years ago and you were told to put what you saw and not what you thought it should be. If you did the latter you had to confirm that was you wanted to put and it would then have to be checked by another transcriber.

If a pancheon was used for washing did it become known as a dollytub/dolly tub in later years to be used in conjunction with a dolly peg?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / 23and Me - data theft
« on: Tuesday 05 December 23 13:13 GMT (UK)  »
The Times today has an article which says 6.9m users had their data stolen in an attack on their DNA testing service which happened in October, far exceeding the 14,000 people it previously said had been affected. This does not affect me but I thought members may be interested.

London and Middlesex / Re: KATHLEEN HARRISON -ACTRESS = Raynes Park - MERTON

I am not so sure that it is RAF, the eagle connot be clearly seen and it should, and the collar of the shirt looks odd as well for the period.

Armed Forces / Re: More badges

The second one could be a tie slide and seems to have a grenade or a form of bomb on it. Perhaps it was owned by someone who was an armourer in the forces. Maybe even in bomb disposal.

Are we still allowed to use NB for nota bene though? I apologize if anyone/person is offended or threatened by the use of a question mark and a full stop.

I have been wondering for a long time why a death was registered by a relative described as inmate. Thank you GR2.
