Sorry to contradict but Ancestry isn't a program, its just a facilitator as far as online trees are concerned, its not Ancestrys fault if some people are less than diligent is it It is entirely the fault of the person who is not researching but just copying, some seem to think if its online it must be true Ancestry is no different to genesreunited, findmypast, familysearch etc etc You don't blame a car manufacturer if a stupid driver injures someone do you, its the drivers fault I do have to smile at some peoples grasp (or lack of) of genealogy, the other day someone posted on facebook that they had proved a line back to 1400 or so but wanted a marriage certificate to prove a marriage was correct as others claimed, which would then take him back to 300bc, I pointed out that as PRs in that parish only started in 1600 I wondered how they had got back that far, the answer was "its all there online" ie in numerous other online trees, not one had a source for the information, except "online tree" How can someone claim to have researched back to 1400 if they don't know marriage certificates in the accepted sense, didn't exist until 1837 Thats not genealogy thats joining the dots Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 18/03/2016 13:05, Peter and Jean Swinbank via wrote: > Yes, Ancestry (the programme) has a lot to answer for.

Yes, Ancestry (the programme) has a lot to answer for. I have a friend who started researching her family tree last year and thanks to a public tree on Ancestry is now convinced that she is directly descended from the 6th century rulers of Saxony. However she has said that I don't have to curtsy to her *every* time we meet!

I sent this message when the website was down. As I have only had one reply wondered if it had not reached everyone hence I am re-sending it with the hope that someone can help me I have collected some information from Newspaper Archives but wondered if anyone had information from another source. The message was:- Can anyone give me any information about Harrow Inn at Deeping St Nicholas. I am particularly interested in SLY and PEAKE connections with it Thank you Jill in New Zealand

I have to be honest Graham, whilst I understand where you are coming from, I disagree with all three points ;-) If you mean by "The ancestry phenomena", interest in family history or genealogy, nothing could be further from the truth, its still an expanding market (and some) Ancestry isn't a program as such, I presume you mean Ancestry online trees, Ancestry, like any other online tree space provider are just a facilitator, they do not and neither should they police the input of others, they like any other online tree are susceptible to error and it behoves each researcher to check each record/person out thoroughly themselves, copying or falsify family trees is not a new phenomena, its been going on as long as man has walked the earth. There have always been (and probably always will be) those who want a quick fix, so either copy others research or take the one "that looks near enough" , whilst there are more copying these days, it still doesn't change my original point that it behoves each researcher to check themselves (I never did get the joy in copying someone elses research anyway, the joy is in the hunting and finding surely) a simple case in point that pervades the online trees of many is the "family coat of arms" displayed by many, enough said on that I think As to your last point, show me someone who has completed their tree post 1837 (or pre or both) and I will show you a fibber, it simply can't be completed, there is always something new to look into and learn, I have been researching for donkeys years and consider whilst I have amassed a great deal I have only scratched the surface as yet As to pre civil registration records, there is a massive amount of information and records available online now, more than ever and growing almost daily, we have never been so blessed with access to records, albeit a small percentage when compared to the whole, but still enough to keep of out of mischief for a good deal of time to come Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 18/03/2016 10:30, Graham Taylor via wrote: > > > I think the problem is threefold :- > > > > 1.

I think the problem is threefold :- 1. The ancestry phenomena has peaked, probably from its high spot of around 2006 2. Ancestry (the programme) in itself has become more unreliable. This has come from the "public trees" placed on its site. The essence of ancestry is Do It Yourself not copy others. I have a Family History programme which is linked to My Heritage and have evidence of numerous examples of where my tree has been copied in exact detail by others and then shown as a perfect match! 3. Those of us that have been tracing ancestry over a period of time, have literally done to death post 1837. Its pre 1837 that is still an interest but records pre this date are not always in existence. Regards Graham

Hi Barry, I think folk use Ancestry.com as their primary resource these days. I think that is a pity as there is a lot of misinformation on it as well as the really good records available and novices just take the records as gospel and go cockeyed from the beginning. I think many of uys can say we have done that at least once in the beginning of our reserches. You can be pulled up quick fast on the lists when such errors can be seen. I dont have a subscription as we do have a subscription at our Branch family history library, it is always booked out, so hard to get on. I think it is a pity as on rootsweb lists you can contact a lot of folk at the one time and there are lots of good information to be had on the lists. I learn something new nearly everyday. I think there are a lot of lurkers out there who just like to turn on their computer daily and on the whole find at least one message from some lists, I am on about 12, most County lists. Every now and again, I am able to help. Sadly, I am still stuck at my brick wall William LANE who married Sarah Throsby/Throsley in 1763 at Billingborough. He wasnt born in Billingborough and we have never been able to find his birth for sure. There was a John Lane as witness to his marriage. One day, someone will google our Lincs-gen archive and find me I hope, and be in touch. Of course there is findmypast, rootschat (free) , familysearch (free) i subscribe to genesreunited as well, to name a few where folk like to do most of their research. It to is excellent. Nothing like the one on one of rootsweb lists though, or the quick responses. The lists are great for the housebound folk who look forward everyday to a bit of chatter even if they do not know the person, they may be able to help as well or just enjoy someone elses query. All the lists have been down for about a fortnight though Barry.

So what has happened over this last year, I have tried to ask the same question quite a few times, but with no real reply. It is just as well that other people from the list still talk, even from Australia, so is the reason because everyone has solved all of their family history problems, or is everyone on holiday, or has there been some sort of epidermic happened, and killed all listers off.

​Okay, Alan. You got my attention so now I just have to know about your Charles Isaac. My 5th great grandmother was Elizabeth VICARS. Her birth date and palce are unknown, but probably sometime around 1750. Elizabeth married George HOLBROOK 30 Jan 1770 at Leadenham. His parish of residence is listed as Fulbeck. Witnesses listed as John DOUGHTY and Oswald FOSTER. They had ten children. All dates are baptism dates Jane 11 Dec 1770 buried 11 March 1771 Leadenham Susannah17 Mar 1772 as HOLDBROOK Leadenham George 15 Aug 1773 Leadenham (my 4th great grandfather). He was buried 25 Aug 1847 Fulbeck. Ann 13 Jun 1775 Leadenham John 31 May 1777 New Sleaford William 18 Oct 1778 as HAWBROOK New Sleaford, residence given as Holdingham Benjamin 9 May 1781 as HAWBROOK New Sleaford Elizabeth 18 Jul 1783 as HAWBROOK New Sleaford Samuel 10 Apr 1786 as HAWBROOK New Sleaford Elizabeth was buried 15 Apr 1788 New Sleaford George died after 12 Aug 1788, the date he married Mary GARRATT in South Kyme. Son George married Rebecca CHRISTIAN 2 May 1806 Fulbeck. She was born about 1779 Grantham buried 13 Jul 1854 Fulbeck. From this point his surname generally appears as AWBROOK or AUBROOK Does Elizabeth appear on your tree? That would be ever so lovely! She is a mystery for us. Have a wonderful day!

Hi Kathryne Just realised I didn't reply to your original question Some books can be saved in their complete state, some can also be found on other sites such as Archive.org But for most situation where you only want a page or two I find a screen capture works well Windows Vista, XP & Windows 7 has an inbuilt snipping utility, it works and does a job but I find TNT screen capture far better for several reasons In operation once installed you either select it from a saved shortcut, mine works direct from the PrtSc button (print screen) usually next to FN8 So you get the page in view on the screen, press PrtSc button, drag over the passage you want to save, I usually also drag over the url as well as this can be used for sourcing, once selected click in the dragged square and it will produce a screen capture of the selected area You can then save that capture to the place you want to save it to, giving it a sensible name With TNT you can also add text, arrows or draw on the capture, save after any additions and you have the whole with notes/arrows etc Extremely useful for maps among many other uses PS its free http://www.tntscreencapture.com/ Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 17/03/2016 17:35, MomNat via wrote: > Does anyone know if there is a way of printing pages from books on > googlebooks?

Hello Karen When you "Reply" you will get both names, I got yours and Lincsgen.  To remove one, click on it and it will go black, then "Backspace". Mike

Hi Barry I suspect you have a problem with your isp, email client or spam filters You say you have received one message every other month? These are the number of posts over the last 12 months (and remember that rootsweb has been down for three weeks or so) April 2015 23 messages May 2015 35 messages June 2015 35 messages July 2015 171 messages August 2015 66 messages September 2015 21 messages October 2015 46 messages November 2015 89 messages December 2015 23 messages January 2016 195 messages February 2016 64 messages March 2016 6 messages So if you have not received all those posts, it suggests something is stopping them from reaching you Do you check your spam folders ? or is your isp blacklisting rootsweb? or do you use a so called anti spam software ? Any one of which may be withholding the very posts you wish to see ======= However, the lists have certainly declined over the last few years, some more than others I suggest some of the reasons are :- The plethora of means to communicate now, compared to a few short years ago The masses of data now available, so look ups are not so much requested as they once were People are a lot more computer savvy than they were ten years back, they also know that a great many questions can be easily answered with a simple google or other search engine, many by finding hits in rootsweb archives, for questions already posted and answered over the years The great number of family tree sites such as Ancestry, Findmypast, familysearch trees etc etc As facebook is rather hopeless for serious research I think there is still life in the lists, its just a matter of bringing them to the attention of some on the likes of facebook, they haven't been blessed with knowing how good and helpful the lists can be How long will facebook last I wonder? until the next method of communication comes along The younger generation have already fell out with texting, and a lot no longer use facebook, I gather more oldies use facebook than the young Facebook has its place, for swapping stories, keeping in contact, posting pictures and photos etc but for long term or to a great degree serious research, facebook is rather hopeless Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 17/03/2016 17:03, Barry Wilson via wrote: > Hi there Lou, and all listers, I have to say that I am amazed at the demise > of the Lincsgen messages, I might see one perhaps every other month,( if I > am lucky).

Barry, The very recent drop off in messages has been due to computer problems at RootsWeb, which I hope are now resolved. However I have noticed a longer term change which I think is due to the increased amount of information available via the subscription web-sites - Ancestry, FindMyPast etc. There is less need to appeal to list members for information in their personal files or only available at local record offices. HOWEVER, what is not available for these sources is personal information, or assembled information, about our family ancestors. I therefore suggest that every lurker on this site prepares a potted personal biography of a Lincolnshire ancestor and posts it to this list - one this month, one next month, and so on until you run out. You may know the story but your fifth cousin twice removed might not. They may reply and, who knows, you may gain ancestors faster than you tell their stories. I hereby promise to post a biography of Charles Isaac Vickers within the next ten days.

Does anyone know if there is a way of printing pages from books on googlebooks? I have been unable to find a way. I have found great reference there, including a biography.

I have also not been able to find out what happened to the young ALBERT ( born 1907 in London) or his brother GEORGE WILLIAM ( born 1908) after their mother died in 1923. I would be most grateful for any assistance. John Richardson St Neots Cambs ( Unable to travel as am a carer. we are both 78)
