Could it be that the man's proper name was John James MacQueen but he was always known by his middle name? My father was in this position, only ever known by his family and friends, including his own mother, by his middle name never his first given name. At his funeral several of my cousins were surprised to hear his first name read out as they never knew the situation of his proper name, they asked myself and my sisters about it afterwards as they were puzzled. I believe, from evidence I have since found, that his first name was given to him in memory of someone in the family who had died earlier. Might it have been the case that he have your James/John was baptised as John James but his father was also called John and the family called the son by his middle name, James, to differentiate him from his father? Regards Jenny DeAngelis <<I have found the image for Westminster burials records on Findmypast and wonder who compiled these? were they written at the time of burial. I am asking as my GGGGranfathers brother James MACQUEEN is shown as John MACQUEEN in the record. I had previously found a transcription on Ancestry and assumed it was a transcription mistake but now I see that it is incorrect in the written record. Could it be a transcription mistake then - 1830 - or could he have been known as John?>>
Hi list This is rather difficult to describe, but I'll do my best. MDX orientated. I'm doing some checking on FMP at the moment, re. births and what was so many hits per page an hour or so ago (on screen) i.e. about 20, has suddenly changed to one hit per page (on screen) so that now I'm having to scroll down one by one (page by page) for about 250! Drive you nutty! Would anyone know how I can get back to having the grouping of say 20 or so? I've signed out, re-booted etc. but nothing helps. Cheers Graham
You're not alone, FMP has gone to the dogs, I can find nothing on it any more, even all those ancestors I found there 3 months ago have disappeared. I suggest you join the Feedback Forum to let them know your annoyance at their changes.Patti > Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2014 15:38:31 +1000 > To: middlesex_county_uk@rootsweb.com > From: genetree@tpg.com.au > Subject: [MDX] BMDs on Find My Past > > Hi list > > This is rather difficult to describe, but I'll do my best.

Try re-sizing the window. Their preferred display is for small tablet format, one has to keep on re-sizing because FMP cannot multi-think or multi-task! JK
