Hi Margaret Presumably this tablet would have internet capabilities ? Are you using FTM 2012 ? If so and you synch a tree with Ancestry, you would not need to have FTM on the tablet, with internet connection you could gain full access to your tree and be able to edit it The edited tree would then in turn synch with the tree on your home computer with FTM on it The tree on Ancestry can be private and unindexed, ie would not come up in searches on Ancestry Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 25/08/2013 17:19, Margaret McNab wrote: > hi everybody, > Has anyone tried to use FTM program on a windows surface tablet? > Im thinking of buying one but need to know first if they are compatable > > Thanks, > Margaret Ontario
Margaret, Save yourself a headache and call 18009589022 during the week and ask the pro's. I know they have a 2012 for I-Pad but the last I heard not for a Windows tablet. But, because technology changes every few seconds best go to the source. Don't forget to ask about any limitations if you go this route.

Annie, I had the same problem since I got Internet Explorer 10 on my new computer and found out it was not compatible with parts of Scotlandpeople and some other programmes I use. If you have Internet Explorer 10, open Scotlandspeople in a different viewer, e.g. Mozilla Firefox, and you won't have any problems seeing the other searched/viewed pages. May I suggest you notify Scotlandspeople of this so that perhaps they will do something to address the problem for those of us who use Internet Explorer 10. I have already told them but nothing has been done so far.

For IE10 go to SP then go to Compatibility View settings in IE and add SP. Make sure your JAVA is up to date. Works for me. Or, use something else, also works for me.

Hi Rhoda, You are probably right on it being Glasgow. With being new in a new colony and the language barriers, it could have been a simple mistake of translation and spelling by the person writing the information. And then it could have been a Glen something.

Hello Rhoda, I have the birth certificates for the first five children plus my mother. All have William listed as the father and he is also the informant on four of the five with Margaret the informant on the other.. Scotlandspeople.gov.uk do not have the images available after 1912 presumably because of the 100 year rule for births, so I don't have birth certificates for the others. Working from his death certificate the last child was born in Sep 1917. Four of the children died in Scotland and their death certificates have William as their father and informant. Three of the children aged 4,3 & 1died within 4 days of each other in October 1918 during the flu epidemic. The one aged 4 had a twin sister who lived to 91.

Hi Does anyone have John Stevenson and his wife Christian Ormiston of Cambuslang, Lanarkshire in their Family Tree please. I have their marraige in 1826 and the baptisms of their children, but would like some meat on the bones. Deaths and maraiges of other children. I do have the marraige of their daughter Isabel or Isabella as we know her who was born 1830 and married John McArthur on the 2 December 1856, prior to their coming to Tasmania as Bounty Immigrants aboard the "Broomielaw" on her maiden voyage leaving the Clyde on the 15th December 1856 and arriving in Launceston, Tasmania 31st march 1857. I know nothing of John McArthur from the Scottish end, but plenty from the Tasmanian side.. Both John and Isabella were residing at Cathcart, Renfrew at the time of their marriage. I do know that Johns parents were Duncan McArthur and Margaret Smith and he was 28 at the time of marraige at Cambuslang but have never found his baptism. or the marraige of his parents. thanks for any help Edie McArthur Tasmania.
Hello Ella, thanks for your reply. The informant on William's death certificate is his son and all the information is correct. This is the correct William Lawson. The 1901 census gives William's age as 38 and the 1911 census gives William's age as 49 and Margaret's as 31. Their marriage certificate of 1901 states William aged 33, bachelor and Margaret aged 21, spinster. Although William's age is a bit out, the names of his father and mothers maiden names are correct. William being a bachelor is also incorrect as this was his second marriage, the first being to Margaret's sister Elizabeth in 1889.
