    Ancestry website query

    I do not attach too much credence to the "Tree Rating" figures and possible errors Ancestry state could be in my tree. Although I do check from time to time. I mainly use ProTools for the DNA feature. William.

    Ancestry website query

    Do you have ProTools. My Tree rating is 9.7 - which means that out of 2,547 people in my tree there could be a possible 26 duplications, no documentation for 157 people and a possible further 36 errors. William.

    A bit of Birmingham's history now in the USA

    My Grandmother used to have a sideboard very much like that, but I have no idea of its history. When the houses in Aston were being demolished in the 1960's she moved to a flat in Newtown and could not take it with her so it was left there. William.

    Computer help please 2025

    Rather than using the E Bay app, have you tried logging in to the actual E Bay website via your browser. I find some of the apps do not work as well as directly logging in to websites. William.

    Sorry Janice (and my apologies) as I do not wish to appear pedantic but Steve posted about Church Lane, not Church Road. However I am sure he understands, and will search for the former as opposed to the latter. William.

    Help needed please.

    Just thought I would add that the information you pay £10 for, is the same information that Midland Ancestors provide for half the cost £5. William.

    Help needed please.

    I am not sure if they will provide details of the burial (plot number etc) free of charge - they may charge you £10. However if you search for https://midland-ancestors.shop/BIRM-Cemetries and place an order they will only charge £5 for a copy of the burial information/plot number taken from...

    Are you looking at the "Memorial I/D" on Find a Grave, if so then my understanding is that this is not the burial location and plot number. William.

    Previously when i logged on I would always select "new posts" and when I had read a post it would disappear from "new posts". Now when I select "new posts" and read a post, it remains in "new posts". William.

    I think the price increase was within the last few weeks. I did read about this on one of my genealogy FB groups. I ordered a digital image on the 1st June which cost £3.00 William.

    can you place any forum issues in here after the rebuild

    There are still problems with "my content". I can see posts/replies that I had made between 2010 - 2022 then nothing between 2022 - 2024 apart from the comment I made a few days ago regarding not being able to view all posts in "my content". William
