Ok in diagrams.

Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add
The age you will be this year,

The results will be 111 if born before 31/12/1999

Steve Bye,
I believe that what you suggest will Delete the Box Condition not the Flag, although this may be a necessary prerequisite before the Flag will automatically disappear..

Oh! Well.

AFTER 14 MONTHS......

I'm pleased to be able to let you know that we have finally (!) fixed three-letter searching on names on the website. I'm very sorry for the delay in resolving this problem and I do hope it will improve your experience of using the site.

When showing the relationship to root if the sex and name of a person is unknown the relationship defaults to a male, Son, Grandson, Nephew. In diagrams the family name is in Black but with a male relationship below. Is there a way to keep this neutral or read 'unknown'.

tatewise said: Stevebye says Microsoft Excel is the same. In my version of MS Excel, it is like AS, and moves from cell to cell whenever any arrow key is used. I'm using Excel 2002.

Nick Walker said: It only moves to the next box if you press Right when you are at the end of the word in the cell.

Nick,

When filling in the boxes, i.e. occupation, it gets annoying when the curser moves to the next box using the R/L arrows, specially when entering large ammounts of information.

Could you change it to the TAB key to move to the next box ?

Not sure what the problem is? My tree (not public) on Ancestry.co.uk gives me the option on a 'button' to view 'pedigree' left to right or 'family' drop down.

When opening a family tree I want it to open in the Profile screen as it used to, not the family tree screen since update.

Mine was quite possibly the first complaint to hit the desk.

Looks like they use FH4 and the Focus Window [grin]

Delete {REF} from the line to leave Census {YEAR} {PLACE} ({OTHER}), then click on OK.

Thanks Peter for taking the time to clear this up.

Why would a child be Baptized twice on the same day at different churches. Both are C of E. St Mary, Summerstown and St Andrew, Earlsfield. Summerstown is very close to Earlsfield.

The Childs name is the same, along with the Parents names, home address and Fathers occupation.

[oops] Sorry Shaun, for Place read Address. [oops]

I never use the Place field, can't understand why it's there. Unless they do things differently outside the UK.
