That is a very surprising reply because My Heritage has a reputation for not being helpful - normally the opposite (and some things much worse). Generally the information in the trees on their site is a million times worse than other sites such as Family Search and Ancestry. It would be interesting to hear if this does get corrected or not.

With a name like Magdalen Galley there are not exactly a lot of us so I was in no doubt it was me. Whoever had posted had mixed me up with my mother named Joan Peach (you can see why they might be confused!) and hence I died in 1998. I am not a member of this site and had no desire to join but I contacted them via their contacts page and told them the problem and asked for the information to be removed and the person who had posted it to be told they were a b****y awful researcher as my correct year of birth was also shown on the same page. Within 24 hours I had a reply from a named person with a request for the URL and/or a screenshot of the erroneous data including instructions on how to do this. I supplied both yesterday (Sunday) and this morning had a nice thank you and an assurance the information would be removed within 48 hours but if I checked after that and it was still there, to get back in touch. We hear a lot of stories about problems getting errors corrected so just thought I would give credit where it is due.

Personally, I find 2017 flawless. My only complaint would be that it loads a little slowly BUT that might be because of the file size I have.

Hi all I thought I would just update you on my problem re facebook Having followed all their requests for proof of ID and photo and still they say it doesn't match my details on my original account, then they simply didn't reply to any further input, so I gave up on that account I created a new one yesterday, joined one group, friended wife and a few nieces Less than 24 hours later that one is locked out as well It was not possible to use the 3 to 5 friends to confirm your account as I didn't get the chance before being blocked I have uploaded a copy of a photo as they requested, the wording was rather worrying to my way of thinking "Please upload a photo of yourself that clearly shows your face" The question I would ask, is how are they going to check that photo as I did not upload any to this new account If you use facebook, you may want to take a few precautions, lest it should happen to you There is a facility to download your own facebook data, I am unsure what format that is as I didn't get time to do it I would suggest making a copy of your friends list and a list of the groups you are currently in If like me you have your account disabled, you cannot then access it to take copies after it happens, so forewarned is forearmed Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 26-Jul-17 8:37 PM, Nivard Ovington wrote: > > Sorry its a long post but it may affect you so bear with me > > The lists in general are quiet with few exceptions, this list also > suffers from lack of posts, there are various reasons why this is > happening, one being the plethora of other avenues to communicate

Hi Andrea Thanks for your reply on this I have had to revisit the previous posts on this to remind myself, I thought for some reason one conversation was on facebook but it seems not on Derbyshire registers As you say there is some confusion, but believe its more an error in programming than blocking due to an outside supplier But we will have to wait and see what happens Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 06-Aug-17 3:51 PM, Andrea Newham via DERBYSGEN wrote: > Hello Nivard. > There's a little confusion here when people have enquired of FS about this issue.

Thanks for yours Nick I thought one conversation was on facebook which as I was blocked on there I couldn't check So started a new account, less than 24 hours later thats been blocked too But then checked back and see the earlier conversation was on Derbysgen anyway First the DBY registers were available, then only at an FHS, then open again and now closed But it seems its a problem they are looking at so hopefully they will be open yet again Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 06-Aug-17 9:53 AM, Nick wrote: > The message you saw has been there for at least a month.

Hello Nivard. There's a little confusion here when people have enquired of FS about this issue.

Hi All Just would like to say how great it is to see all the emails coming through after such a lack of requests Should anyone be connected some of my family are Needham - starting from Joseph b 1809 Hartington Josiah Bradley who married Martha (d of above Joseph) Alice Salt b 1885 CELF regards Jen NSW

Having now seen last nights WDYTYA, not knowing who Emily Willis was or anything about her, so not too optimistic that I would find it interesting, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought she came over as a nice, caring person who was really interested to find out about her roots. The look on her face as she caressed the marble carved out by her ancestor was a joy to behold and it was an interesting story bringing the situation in Ireland at the time to life. I felt a similar pleasure for Charles Dance when he was presented by a relative with a large Diary which had been kept from way back by a previous ancestor. What an amazing thing to have, I would be over the moon to have one like that. Wouldn't we all? Great to see someone get that lucky! I do agree that too much appears like magic without detailed explanations about the research though, I suppose it has to fit in to the hour, shame.

I couldn't agree more Joy Do as you darn well pleasy ;-) I would usually watch WDYTYA on the night of transmission, then watch it again the next day as I found you pick up things you missed on the first watching So far this series I have only watched the Charles Dance episode the next day, the others weren't interesting enough to warrant a second viewing I did watch the whole of Adil Ray but found it so much based on hearsay that you couldn't really take it seriously But this conversation just proves we all see interest in different things and what interests one doesn't interest another Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 04-Aug-17 4:42 PM, Joy Hungerford via DERBYSGEN wrote: > At least you tried with Adil Ray, Nivard. > > I must admit that with Clare Balding, whom I dislike, and Emma Thingy, of whom I had not heard, > > I made no effort at all. > > Mind you, as a somewhat ancient Derbyshire girl, I does as I pleases. > > > Kind regards > > Joy

If there is one I haven't found it as yet I had a quick look at deceasedonline but didn't see it mentioned there (but its not that easy to tell without paying it seems) There may be a mention on findagrave I couldn't check as you didn't give a name and date The problem you may find, is that the grave may either be unmarked or may even have been reused Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 04-Aug-17 4:48 PM, Steve Bowen wrote: > Thanks Nivard for correcting that, I appreciate it.
