It always impresses me with the speed in which some Reseachers find a BMD or Census result. I often try to help but by the time I find anything there are 3 or 4 responses already posted. To rub salt in my wound, that which I found is the wrong one !! Give an old man a break and let me be first for a change.
Happy holidays.

PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.

LOL! OK,Alan,next time try to dash off a quick reply telling us to stand back and let you have "first dibs" for a change! ;-)

Nah,doubt if that would work either. I swear we have some speed typists amongst us!!

Some years ago, I heard a radio interview with the mayor of Victoria.
She said the downside of being a woman mayor was she had to be twice as competent and twice as smart as the men - the upside was that that wasn't that difficult.

Only once, I think, I have managed to give a response to a query from someone, when it has been a look up request, or maybe twice, or ... :-)

Post it anyway Alan.

If you've taken the time to look at the image, you may be adding information that quicker copyandpasters haven't given.

You can edit your post later when you've had a chance to see what has already been added to the thread.

Better duplicated info than none at all!

How have you tried to open it?

Family Tree to My Tree?

Added:
Interesting, it did not open when I was accessing from the top buttons here, but did from the Home page, even when same tabs.

Mine's OK.

Weren't there complaints after the last set of upgrades that some people couldn't access theirs?

There are 2 email addresses you could use for GR
