Deciphiring a Census entry please

Good thinking - I'd not thought of that because I've only seen it as Appr before but it seems logical as the person is only 19 [tongue]

Deciphiring a Census entry please

Can anyone please decipher the following which is an entry under the 'Relation to Head' column in the 1871 Census. I have tried 'Resitus' and 'Presitus' in the dictionary and have drawn a blank. [wink]

Changing Case en masse for Surnames

Sorry Jane, went to the link you gave and the link to the software is dead.  It does state that it is for Windows 95, and I run XP so maybe that's why.  
Thanks for trying

Changing Case en masse for Surnames

A previous software I used changed the surnames all to uppercase.  I, however, use lower case.  Does anyone know if there is there a way for me unify all the surnames into one case or the other without having to check every individual and do it manually [nearly 3,000 entries]. The screen displays th...

Genealogy Subscription Sites

I find it helpful to subscribe to both together with britishorigins.co.uk and findmypast.com in order to verify the information i find on ancestry.   I did find someone on britishorigins who was completely mistranscribed on ancestry so it is a help I find and worth having another source to check with.

Changing birth dates to year only

The only way I can think of to do this is to click on the date in the Event Tab of the properties sheet for each person and then delete the date and month individually.

Photo Restoration

Thanks for that Jane, I'll try that. Now I have another question - I have a few photos that are very dark and the details (like faces in one instance) are too dark to see for dating and geographic clues. Does anyone have any tips please?

Photo Restoration

Can anyone recommend a good photo editing software to use to 'restore' old black & white scanned photos?  I have a lot of photographs that are very dark and others are damaged etc.  The ones I have tried won't allow me to magnify and work on one section at a time, or are based on colour work and can...
