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...

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...

You could well be right! Near Tamworth might well be how mum described it. I have been past the gate of Twycross Zoo many times and that is 'near Tamworth' but Drayton Manor is just a well-know name to me, never a destination.

It looks like a dis-used factory to me that has been 're-purposed'! I could believe that #55 photo 3 was taken at a rectory, it has 'the look'. It's a very long time since I was at Dudley Zoo and at that time the site was dominated by a hill and castle whereas the 'trip' location seems quite...

There is something not right here. The picture of Yarnolds that you referred to [#16] is without doubt the same location as my picture with the dog but the view of the railway doesn't fit the above map, the alignment is wrong to my mind. It also seems to me that going to the current Google...

Well as Warner Brother's 'Looney Tunes' used to say "That's All Folks!". A bit of social history including people who wouldn't normally make it on to film. While I am certain that I now own these images I am also aware that they were probably originally taken for the enjoyment of the parties...

Some shots at what I presume was the destination but with people. The man in the raincoat is a social worker and I think was called Tom Broomhall, he lived in Selly Oak.

These photos were presumably taken at the destination of the day trip. Maybe they will trigger someone's memory?

More adults and children. Note the girl in the green cardigan is helping to set up the centre by carrying in the coffee, tea and mugs. The key-holder is perhaps a social worker.
