Find Ancestors

here is the easiest way to return to your threads

just read the note in my 'Researching' line :-)

when you start a new thread, or post a message in someone else's thread about a family of your own

just tick the box under the space you type in, where it says

'Add to My Watched Threads'

you can also do it after you post by clicking 'Watch This' up at the top of the thread

then when someone adds a message to that thread, you will get an email notice

just make sure your email address in your account here is always up to date :-)

This is one post that should be on EVERY board!!

So many unloved threads on here :-(

Graham - have a look at this link where there several suggestions for overcoming the problem which has been caused be a recent up grade to IE11

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/general_chat/thread/1334369

The one that seems to work for most people is.......

Click the Tools icon (or Alt + X) - the cog shaped one top right of your screen

Click Compatibility View settings in the drop down list

Add the Genes Reunited website - genesreunited.co.uk

.............

As this isn't a research thread, start one of your own on Find Ancestors if they are deceased, or Living Relative if they aren't.

Hi Ann, I have had a problem with my computer, I kept having a notice Server error 503.0, and I could not get any further. I have got around it now by switching to my laptop.

Many thanks for all your help and advice, I now understand how to call up ' my threads'. You obviously know how to research Parish records, and I wonder if I could enlist your professional assistance as I am completely stuck on both of my parents lines, the Powell's and the Corby's.
Yours sincerely
Graham powell

Hi there Graham - add this posting to your existing one and we'll see what we can find

Hi Ann & Cynthia,

Many thanks for the help you have given me, and for 'finding' our Sarah Brown. We have still not been able to trace the date or place of birth of her husband Charles Corby, b Abt 1767, Or, my Father's Powell forefather Benjamin Powell married to Mary Edwards on 10 Dec 1832 in St Mary's Chuirch, Brecon Town.

As you obviously know how to research, I wonder if I could 'hire' you to research these two problems I have, or at least advise where I may be able to extend my family line.

Yours sincerely

Graham

Yay that's great news that GR have stickied this thread.

Must of only happened in the past couple of hours as it was near the bottom of the page when I nudged it up.


Gai :-D :-D :-D :-D

stickied - result - thanks GR :-D

Oops nearly on the next page.

:-) :-) :-) :-)

:-D :-D

well it's down to you that I put this up cos you always go to the trouble to advise people how to return :-)

Hi Ann,

If you look at this link, you will see that I made a suggestion to GR about this problem on 12th April. In fact, I have brought this to their attention many times over the years, but to no avail.... :-(

:-D

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I've asked GR if they can "sticky" this

For info as well...once in "My Threads" you can sort into ones you started and ones you have contributed to

:-)

good point :-)

Might also be worth mentioning that the threads are stored on GR's servers and not on the members own pc. I've come across several cases where people have deleted them because they wanted to save space on their computers. Also, people have said they lost their threads when their pc crashed - no, they'll still be there!

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
