Technical Help / Re: skype. question
« on: Thursday 10 June 10 16:34 BST (UK) »
I also have been using Skype for many years - I have a son in France and one in Aus - I'm in the UK - so long phone calls are possible for free, definitely well worth it. I have used it for 'landline calls' but since I changed my phone provider I get free call after 6:00 pm so tend to make my calle then.
I've only just got a web-cam but have talked to one of my Grandsons using it which is wonderful and I've talked to my son in Aus whilst he's had it - makes one feel chill when he's sitting there without shirt and there's snow outside here !!!

Roots Magic 4 will print a timeline chart but it doesn't include locations - so that's one eliminated.

it appears that groups of people are being bracketed to-gether - does the Location give any clue ?

My first impression was Cartouch Maker but accept it could be Cartridge Maker.

Hi,
The web-site www.searchlabs.familysearch.org
have a lot of Macclesfield BMD's from the 1500's onwards.
Through this site I found the grave of an ancestor buried in 1806.
