Thank you Hallmark.

I was wondering what you do for an index of civil registrations south of the border. I have been concentrating on the families of my Northern Ireland paternal grandfather for the last few years and have been using the GRO (and PRONI online records) but am not familiar with what equivalents are available for the south.

I shall keep your advice in mind for when I do turn back to the extended Livingston family again for a more comprehensive look. The Davis enquiry made me look at my Livingston files again and realise my written version needed updating so I have taken time out from my other research for a quick update of my gt grandfathers siblings.

Cheers

Is anyone researching the name Lindsay in Sligo?

I am curious about Olivia Agnes Lindsay who married James Livingstone of Gortakeeran on 28 Feb 1893. Marriage registered in Dromore West (as Olive Lindsey). I was wondering if Olivia belonged to the Lindsay family of Larkhill Beltra, Ballysadare West. Robert Lindsay of Larkhill was 80 in 1901.

Would Dromore West be a bit far away to register the marriage?

I am researching the Livingston family and James' daughter Isabella Livingstone (from his first marriage) married John Lindsay of Larkhill, son of Robert. So I just want to tidy up a loose end if anyone can tell me if Olivia was perhaps John Lindsay's sister.

Cheers

I have since been reading the Ancestry Blog and see  from peoples responses that perhaps I could still make the charts I want in FTM 2012 (which is a feature most people seem to want) . Also according to their blog update Ancestry  are "exploring" adding some of the report features into Ancestry

When I looked some time ago at my FTM2012 I saw how you can create and print the charts but not how you can export them as an image/screenshot. Have I missed something?

I also noticed that before it closed sales, I might have been able to purchase a downloadable version for the Mac from Ancestry. Too late now though. I probably previoulsy  tried to purchase the downloadable version before it became available in Australia. When I enquired at Ancestry AU they did not have a downloadable version.

Hi

I used FamilyTreemaker long before I put my tree on Ancestry (from mid 90s or even earlier maybe) and now I wonder what I can use in its place to sync with Ancestry or whatever the options are going to be to download trees.

I still have a 2012 version on a PC that I can use to sync my current tree but I don't use the PC any more as I switched to Mac a couple of years ago. I was unable to download an electronic version for Mac from Ancestry (presumably because I did not have a US address and Ancestry Australia only sold the CD-Rom version which is not much use if you don't have a CD drive) so have not sync-ed to the Mac or at all for quite a while.

What I want to be able to do is something I used to be able to do from older versions of FTM and that was create a limited descendant tree using just a few generations which I could then export as an image to a word document. So what I would like is software that is very good at creating charts and preferably that I can sync with Ancestry then generate custom made mini trees to illustrate my text documents.

What I do not want to have to do is start a new tree from scratch to create a new database. I have several thousand in each of my maternal and paternal trees.

I would be interested to hear any suggestions.

Thank you

Linda.

I did have a look in the Belfast Newsletter for the 1831 marriage but did not see anything. However I am not the best with Newspaper archives. There is something called Papers Past that you might be able to try.
