morning graham

its the story of my life,the laptop i used to store all my data on broke and i had to restart all my searching again.a lot of the sites i used was free and this time i decided to pay for ancestry.co.uk and was suprised at how little i got of there and what i did get had several errors on the information.

Morning Lisa,

We (me actually) tipped tea all over our last laptop but were able to recover the data simply by taking out the hard drive and plugging it into a Caddy. The other way of course would be to get someone to transfer all of it's data onto a CD for you.

In my limited experience these hard drives are fairly robust when it comes to physical damage.

Regards

i didnt think of doing that but ill know for future reference 

i think it was a blessing realy as a lot of the new data i have doesnt match wich the old so im guessing i was on the wrong people to begin with.

Originally Ancestry was transcribed by students in the far east as it was cheap & although a lot of errors have been corrected by Ancestry members giving the correct info. there's still plenty out there.My favourite is Do used by enumerators for ditto but used by the transcribers as a last name,try it.
