lol Ollie, it obviously works differently to my version.

I don't think it's you, I think it must be poorly designed :)

However, it's good news for you!!!!

Pleased to see its all sorted now Ollie. :-)

I must admit that I haven't yet sync'd my tree with Ancestry, although it is on my to-do list. I left it for a while because there were reports that some users were having problems and that some had needed to install software patches for it to work correctly.

All I would add, though is that, in general, if you access media on a subscription site, then if you let your subscription lapse, then you will no longer be able to access those records, so it is important to check you have everything you need to keep downloaded to your PC.

Ancestry also mention that certain records won't sync automatically at the moment so may need to be downloaded / linked manually.

I hope OllietheOwl will not mind my butting in but I also have a queery which concerns FTM

I have just started using (off line at present) the 2010 FTM I was given and cannot see a section for baptisms or where to put the age at death - are they there or do I need to upgrade to get them ?

Elizabeth,
If you have the person selected then press F3 (or Edit Person) a box with all the facts will pop up. Select Facts and the blue plus symbol and a drop down list appears which includes baptisms.

The age at death is usually calculated from birth and death dates but if you don't know them for sure I should put the age in the description box.

Ken

Thank you Ken :-)

Elizabeth,It makes good sense to add to this if you have a query on using FTM. We will all benefit when our friends come back with their usual good advise.

Inspector - Will make sure that I have copies of everything on my pc in future.
Many thanks :-D
