You can certainly add baptism and death details, just select the type of tree that you want and go to Contents, Items to include in each box. There is a pick list on the left. Any of those items can be added to the box by clicking on the > mark (or removed using <) and then moved up or down the...

Actually I don't find the family tree charts all that useful and depending on your own family they can become unwieldy, pushing siblings apart if there are lots of marriages. My preferred chart is found under View, Reports, Outline Descendant, that can always be made to fit A4 pages and...

I read the pre-edited comment and wondered what you meant, Alles is klar. History ought to be an objective study of the past and while the opinion of the actors is invaluable it is only a sub-set of the truth. That is why I used the word 'dispassionate' to signal the difference. People...

We went through the same process a few months ago with my sister's laptop. We had ignored the earlier offers by Microsoft to push Windows 10 at us as the compatibility check at the time indicated a minor problem, however the recent threats of loss of support made us think again. I discovered...

The Ancestor Tree report will show the ancestors of the highlighted person. The green arrow button is a quick way to get back to where you were before but there are many other ways of moving around your tree. I think you will find that playing around with the various format/ type sizes etc...

Taking a dispassionate view, (easier done at this point in time), it does illustrate how ineffective bombing was in WW2. A bomb like the one used here might only destroy a couple of dwellings and perhaps kill no-one yet the bomber and its crew might not have returned from its mission, costing...

You should be able to go to View, Tree Charts, Ancestor Tree - Vertical, that sounds like what you are after. You will need to go to your own entry first to get the focus right. Format, Tree Format and other options under Format should get the tree looking the way that you want. Contents can...

I think Grace's Guide gives a better account of Swallow Sidecars than Wikipedia. Watsonian When it comes to industrial history the company, the name, the product and the location are all tradeable entities that don't necessarily pass on to a new buyer.

The zig-zags suggest post 1971 and the bus logo pre 1974 Here is the same bus in the same livery, claimed to be 1972

I managed to persuade my 90+ aunt, last of her generation, to do a test with LivingDNA. I chose them because they seemed to have good reviews. The test was easy enough to do, just a mouth swab and post it back. I'm not sure that the reports told us much, basically that geographically her...

Christmas is the biggest retail opportunity of the year and something moving is 'window bait'. My aunt was in millinery retail and she always said 'put something red in the window'. Red and moving that's got it all!

The train set was always a 'big toy' i.e. expensive so Christmas was always the best time to sell them. Do they still sell them to children? I get the feeling that the toy market has now become 0 - 7 and 35 - 100. The youngest children still get physical toys, the elder children have gone...

Hard to know when to stop cleaning? All of these photos were taken by my mum using a Canon Dial 35 camera. I think that was the only time that she used it. Previously she had taken a couple of photos each summer with her 8-exposure 'box Brownie' so she was no photographer. The camera was...

I see that the cover of Rod Stewart's Railway Modeller story issue reminds us that the NEC host the Warley Railway Exhibition in ten days time. It used to be vicars that went in for railway modelling, (large vicarages?) but the world of pop includes the likes of Pete Waterman and, we heard...

Thank goodness that elements, like silver, and simple compounds, like common salt and iodine, still work against bacteria!

Can you imagine the 'Twitter Storm' if a car dealer made the slightest connection between 'drink' and 'driving'? Changed times indeed. (I bet the calendar pictures in the workshops don't focus on the female-form now either!)

The view from the 'dog' picture of Yarnolds is pretty tangential to Yarnolds west flank, which makes Park Road a better candidate. The other thing to note is that Ford Road east side numbering is even while Park Road numbers are odd. The woman and girl with the dog appear in another of my...

A question of driving Google to get the right view! No doubt it helps to know what needs to be shown too. I note that there are (at least) two buildings as the west end is three storey and the east is four storeys. Thank you for clearing that up.

Lovely pictures that match the slides beautifully. But they don't match the buildings on StreetView or this. The building to the right of "St Georges....." has three arches and a triangular feature over the door whereas the Brandauer building is all arches. It is also four storeys versus three...
