Thankyou for the info Nivard. I didn't find them on the census because I don't pay to view on line and as I live in Somerset I cannot get to the Leicestershire Records Office.

I'm not!! I have found Frederick William ROYCE in every census after his birth in 1864, what I want to know is "Who are his parents?". According to the 1871 census he was born in Sewstern, Leics but was living as a grandson with John & Mary ROYCE in the White Horse Inn, High St., Colsterworth, Lincs. In 1881 he was a groom for the HEAVENS in the High St., Colsterworth; thereafter in the police in Middlesex. I wondered if anyone has access to Sewstern baptisms about that time that could help.

It is the first genealogy software that I have had, (so not an upgrade from an earlier version). I installed it onto my desktop, and the following day it had such a meltdown that it won't boot up - this is probably just co-incidence as computer was 9 yrs old and was running on XP with office 2003. I then installed it onto my netbook. I found that I had to adjust my screen resolution to get the bottom of the pages, but other than that it has been working well - until today. Its now very slow. I think that it may be due to the size of the file (1018 people and about 100 or so have at least some media attached). Some people also have complicated relationships (e.g. siblings from one family marrying siblings from another, first cousins marrying, and a woman whose second marriage was to her first husband's first wife's nephew) which may be using more memory than standard relationships. The other possibility is that the speed is due to it being on a netbook which has less memory than a desktop or laptop. Has anyone else experienced this slowness? Is the solution to divide the tree into branches? I have tried the help files but couldn't find instructions for this. Is there a maximum size/number of people per tree? I'm hoping someone can offer some advice/instructions to get back to the right speed.

Hi Patricia If you are in need of a look up there are many people on the lists who may be able to help you, just ask Another alternative would be to visit your library and you will find they have the Ancestry Library Edition which is the worldwide subscription, this is accessed in the library on their computers, systems vary but you normally get 30 minutes or so free but you may get more if there is no-one waiting to use the computer There are also a range of other things you can access via your library service, most from home 24/7 See http://www.somerset.gov.uk/irj/public/services/directory/service?rid=/guid/10555cfa-0837-2c10-bfa7-f6c529e23494 Then there is the LDS centers , there may be one near enough to visit on occasion and who will have Ancestry and often Findmypast, you can also order in films of the census or Parish Registers etc Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) PS It was probably just an oversight but you have posted the entire digest back to the list, you need to copy the subject line of your post into your reply and delete all the other messages, leaving enough of yours to keep it in context Thankyou for the info Nivard. I didn't find them on the census because I don't pay to view on line and as I live in Somerset I cannot get to the Leicestershire Records Office. Regards Patricia
