According to the HP support site you should be an option to ignore the message.

Have you checked what paper size the computer is expecting by checking the underlying document properties. If something has happened on your PC to make it think you are working in European paper sizes then you will have a problem.

I am assuming that you are American or Canadian by the use of the "letter" size paper.

World War One / Re: Uniform ID Please

There is something odd about the tunic. All the pictures that I can find have breast pockets and button flaps on all four pockets. The WW1 pictures show metal collar badges rather than cloth.

The collar style and the side cap are both OK for a US uniform of the period

Do you have the original? If so is the studio name or address on the back?

Angus (Forfarshire) / Montrose - High Street

I wondered if anybody knew if properties in the High Street have been renumbered since the 1851 census? My great great Grandfather Alexander Crabb was a baker and in 1851 was at number 74.

Thanks

Hi I am a 'Crabb' myself and have a copy of our family tree. It only goes back to William Crabb born 1780 who married Margaret Brodie but thought it interesting that he was known as 'William Crabb of Laurencekirk Kincardine. Might be of use to you
Jackie, looks like we have a common ancestor. I know that he came from Fordoun and worked as as snuff box maker in Laurencekirk and died in 1825 leaving a young family. Have you looked at the work of his eldest son, also William who was an artist?
