Hi Ian You are getting it right! I get that message sometimes if I have missed something out. that is the page I have saved on favourites. On the page with the red message enter the following info on my family. Father William Kinnear Mother Janet Cargill Region British Isles Country Scotland Click on Search You should have about 7 children listed as a result, all born in Wemyss, Fife if I remember correctly. I hope to goodness it works this time. I have had problems getting up pages using other peoples instructions and it can be frustrating! I usually clip old messages but thought it could be helpful to leave the info attached. Sheila.
