The Common Room / Re: Findmypast newspaper change
« on: Saturday 19 August 23 09:12 BST (UK)  »
Friday morning I was able to use the clipping tool.  In the afternoon I was getting the red screen and error messages.

Today I went back to try again only to find the option of clipping an item has totally vanished.

The Common Room / Newspaper search
« on: Friday 11 August 23 18:41 BST (UK)  »
I’m attempting to search newspapers on Find My Past.

Unfortunately the surname involved is Prince. 

Even though I’m putting in Albert Prince I’m getting all results for Prince Albert rather than those with the surname Prince.  As you can imagine there’s a lot of them.

Is there anyway of excluding them? Or making it search the name more accurately?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

I was definitely using the death search as I had the option of age at death.  It was something I check because like you I’ve done it before.

It was driving me batty last night.

I’ve just redone the search and she’s appeared.  Now I can see it I won’t be ordering as she’s to old. I hoped she’d be around 4yrs.

Thanks for looking at it.

Any ideas.  I’ve attempted to order a £2.50 death certificate image.  I can find the references on both Ancesty and FREEBMD they both the same. I’ve also viewed the register which matches the transcripts I’ve found.  When I try to order I can’t get it to search the name.  I’ve even tried putting her in as a male in case of error.  I’ve tried the less is more approach and using h**** for surname but get nothing.

It’s Sarah Handson q3 1860 Luton 3b vol 236

Could it be that she’s been missed?

I’ve now cancelled, I took a screenshot of the confirmation and I’ve now also received an email

So feeling hopeful that I can renew with discount next month.

Hi

If I cancel now will it continue working until the end of my subscription which is at the end of the month. 

I’ve seen so many issues about cancellation that I want to sure I’ve time to get it done, hopefully with an email confirmation.

The Common Room / Re: DNA test. Ancestry or My Heritage?
« on: Wednesday 16 November 22 18:16 GMT (UK)  »
It’s possible to test on Ancestry and upload the raw data to My Heritage. But it’s not possible to test on My Heritage and load their data onto Ancestry.

I hope that helps
