Thanks to all you good people out there for your help. Jim in Soton, yes all those are the children of John and Kate according to the family list I do have. I have so much to learn about where to go to obtain info and the help i am getting from members is very much appreciated. Any tips you may have about storing the mass of info i am now getting would be gratefully received. Kathlyn |

On John and Kate Maudsley`s marriage certificate the following info appears:- Fathers name:- George Massie, this is then crossed out and John Maudsley inserted, as John Massie was his step father. But George Massie`s occupation, a baker, is left in the profession column. Hope this is clear !!!!!! Kathlyn |

Kathlyn Re storing info If I was starting again I would do this - go to www.familysearch.org and choose download software. You can get a free program called Personal Ancestral File (paf). This can store lots of information, has spaces for notes, can show links between families, pedigree charts etc etc. It has the ability to add photos too. I started by having files, which got more numerous and larger as I accumulated information. I am now choosing to store everything on my paf first (I have a 2nd paf for husband's tree). If you want to buy a more sophisticated software program later you can transfer your paf info easily by using GEDCOM (a system that allows genealogy info to be imported/exported). You can download your GR tree into paf files too, which is what I did and I am a complete technophobe. Do remember to back up files regularly onto disc/CD and store this away from your computer. nell |
