I discovered by chance a website at detailing The Proceedings of the Old Bailey, London 1674 to 1834 which may be of interest to members. The website is fully searchable by name so may help you if your ancestors were involved as defendants witnesses or even jury members. The website is at http://www...

Ancestry.co.uk now has the 1851 Census on line as well so you now have access to 6 of the 7 census. Having used ancestry for nearly a year now I'm still discovering new ways of searching the data. I had particular problems locating a family that had been listed as Welsh's in 1871 and Welch's in 1861...

Most of us have pictures of our Grandparents and maybe some of our Great grandparents. If we are really lucky we may even be able to go back another generation but seeing as cameras werent invented until the late 19th century its highly unlikely that we will have any pictures of relatives that were ...

I am still a relative newbie With family Historian having got the program ( from amazon ) in april this year. I tried the free download first and had a play with it to see what sort of things it could do and whether it all seemed logical From what I saw i knew that it would do what i wanted it to do...

Im trying to find a birth certificate for a George Lewis who I know was baptised in Birley near Hereford on 28th June 1846...and his parents James and Elizabeth Lewis Match those given on the 1851 Census.

Ive got two ancestors who are 6th cousins once removed who married each other. Is there any way of showing that they are descended from the sane common ancestor. at the moment i get two branches showing the same set of ancestors.

Have to agree about Ancestry.co.uk now being a very worthwile site to use. I took up a yearly subsciption back in November last year..Expensive at some £70+ but because your not paying on a pay per view basis it means that you can explore more of the data that is on there. I like thae fact that it w...

Ive also noticed that 1837 online are catching up with the 1861 census. Its by no means complete but I have found their facility to search by address usefull.

I currently use FH on a Desktop computer which also has all my family pictures on which I link to individuals rather than embedding. I now want to show some relatives the fruits of my research and need to transfer things to my laptop. I dont necessarily want to copy all the picture files on to the l...

I started constructing my tree on Genes reunited before I discovered Family Historian. However I had no problem downloading a gedcom file generated by Genes Reunited into family Historian, Worked Perfectly. FH is far easier to use and more versatile than genes reunited so my tree grew rapidly . I th...
