I have cracked it!
With gmail I can get away with the email Address and also with outlook but Yahoo for the oldest and longest period you need your name and email address together. I can now see 19 years!
So very many thanks for all your help.

Thank you for getting back to me. I was searching where that link led and put in my email address in the "Search this list" box and the ones which came up - the first entry was "This weeks active topics"etc which was 2 days and 16 hours old. The email address was an old one and not the current one. ...

Thank you very much, Tatewise for getting back to me so soon. The advice of what I need to do is very helpful. After reading your reply, I went on to the Rootsweb and tried searching with various addresses to no avail. I am wondering if you need to subscribe using each individual address. e.g. one e...

It is a long time since have used FH. Today I looked up Rootsweb to see old emails. It has changed. Apart from the 'lost emails' which I read about, is it all up to date? I am contemplating dumping old FHUG emails after changing email addresses from Yahoo to Gmail around 16 months ago as I want to c...

This email arrived this morning: probably we all got it: the latest update: Dear RootsWeb Mailing List Member, We'd like to provide you with an update on the RootsWeb mailing list service. We are on track to bring the mailing lists back online by the end of this month. The mailing list archives will...

Sorry for being so long in getting back to you to say thankyou’s! Thank you to David2416 for his update on this Rootsweb site problem – now there is another update: Rootsweb is really down now, here is the latest from the website: “We have been in the process of improving the site throughout 2017, a...

Thank you David for your very quick reply.

It looks a very good program but I doubt if it is for me but I appreciate your helpfulness.

Many thanks for everything.

I want to thank everyone for all their help, it is very much appreciated. Sorry I have been so long in replying but I have been trying to resolve my difficulties. I had never heard of a 'way back machine' and for all the other info I have been reading more on the Fhug website. As part of this mail e...

Thanks, Mike for the clarification.

Thank you to all of you who offered this advice. Mike and Peter: While I knew that the website and list were separate I did not realize you could search Rootsweb from the FHUG site, when the Rootsweb site is working, of course. Russel: Like you, I have decided to be cautious, as I had read hoards of...

I have just discovered that Roots-web is still down, after a lengthy period with an even lengthening blog on the subject. Can anyone advise if our FHUG mailing list complete with all correspondence will be able to be accessed once things return to normal? When it was working was it searchable? I am ...

Thank you for all your help, Mike. I have carried out the checks to Anne's ancestors while set to My Documents/Family Historian Projects and in My Documents/Family Historian/Family Historian Projects and it either shows no links or no problems and there is no unrecognised data. I also carried out th...

Thanks Mike for your help. I realize now that I was so uptight about this that I failed to explain the problem properly and want to apologise. As a result, I am afraid I have not followed your help. I have not been doing input to FH for a long time but I hope to get started again. I carried out the ...

Old computer used Windows 7 Home Premium and new computer uses Windows 7 Professional and Family Historian latest version is 5.0.11 When my computer broke down in the spring and I bought a new one I was unable to put in the files, projects etc normally. (Do I hear a huge sigh?) Instead I imported 2...

Just for clarity - in Scotland the images referred to which are 'not certificates' are only for Births over 100 years, marriages over 75 years and deaths over 50 years. Where they are less than that in time we have to order extracts/certificates.

Thank you, Mike for all your help.

Please disregard my earlier email - I've cracked it.

It is a Property Box adjustment - all is well - thank you.

Due to a glare problem with my eyes I have changed the Focus Pane to light green and very light green with black Segoe UI which works perfectly for me so I would like to do the same for the Sources. I have been hunting in the Tools/Preferences etc to no avail and doubt if it can be done but would li...

Thank you to Jane for her info and to you, Mike for your very clear explanation. I expected that when I restored the file it would restore the original - the long line update 1971 file- instead it seems to have copied the back up as a new entry using the original title: "Dummy Copy of Anne's Ancesto...

Big thanks Mike - project is now restored. It only took a second. Tried to change name of Project to "Anne's Ancestors" but gives an error message: "A problem occurred. Task may not have completed correctly" Have successfully deleted one project but another has Window's 7 prompts for Administrator P...

Thanks for your helpful reply. I am unclear by what is meant by "If you make sure they all have the same name before the extension and make sure FH is closed while you do it, you should be able to get your files back on an even keel." I thought, if I have understood that I am making the change of na...

I have copied with this three snips describing my current situation. How I got here is as follows: I was learning how to input marriages in Ancestral sources two months ago and saw advice to make a copy of the project, so I copied my project and called it “DUMMY COPY of Anne’s Ancestors starts 12Jul...

Thanks Mike for all your help.

What a small job it turned out to be. Everything is easy when you (Mike) know how. All seems sorted now.

Thanks for all your help and for your very clear instructions.

The second attempt worked perfectly and when I looked at the chart - the wives, husbands and children are where they should be - exactly. For Ann wife (315) The property box - all tab - is still showing 2 entries, the first with -no husband- and the original child showing Ann (151) although she does...

Before I press any buttons... You are correct in that the replicated child also named Ann (151) is numbered the same on all records affected. But it is the second spouse on each of husband/wife George/Ann's records which has the 3 children in each case. George's marriage to Ann (has been input in AS...
