    1. Re: [ARGYLL] SP: Certificate numbering & Timeline.

    3. Hello, Timeline: The reason I asked is that by mistake I sent one of mine to Timeline in error. Against the item is the word "View" and "Add to Timeline" is greyed out, but, there's no name under the description, which I think is cumbersome. If you download the list of "Viewed images" those added to Timeline are downloaded in that way, i.e. a blank description. This means that one would have to list them in our own records, rather than having to either view the docs at SP or view one's own certificate. Just wondered why it was done that way; am I missing something? As to certificates without a Statutury Record identity - Was there a time, or should I say "era" when no Statutory register number was included. I am looking at one now as I type and its dated 1897, a birth. I have one in 1856 with a Statutory Birth No. One in 1905 without and another in 1900 with. There doesnt seem to be any consistency. I've not made a note as to how I got them, it might be that a cousin has got them from a local registry office, but that doesnt make sense either because they still need to be found somehow. I've been using the Statutory reference as a source in my GEDCOM so its inconvenient not to have that reference. Puzzling.

I have been puzzled because if I want to look at a : certain person again I click on Names and get them in alphabetical : order then find the appropriate name pages. But before the listing : starts at Blue (I have no 'A's in my tree!) and continues : alphabetically it always puts a few names which appear to be at : random before the Blue pages. : Does anyone know why? : Thanks, : Mary : :: At 11:22 PM 2/11/2008, Janet wrote: : >Hello Argyll!!
