I am very slowly sorting out my DICKSON ancestors. The present day DICKSON's are in Portsmouth and they go back to Gloucester in 1861 & 1871 (census records). Further back but with some gaps to Mr John DICKSON b.1797 in Wheathampstead, Herts but spent some of his childhood in Guernsey, CI. I believe there is a Sussex connection, when my ancestor John DICKSON left the Channel Islands to show up in Hove, Sussex (as per the LDS website) where he met and married Hannah CLARK in 1828. Hannah is from Westbury on Severn, Gloucestershire. I would like to use or discount the the Hove connection, firstly with the marriage and then whether they had any children in this marriage. The gap I have at the moment is from "1809 in Guernsey to 1861". On the 1861 census both Mr John & Mrs Hannah DICKSON are living and he is working as a Hatter in Gloucester. They are not showing up in a 1841 or 1851 census. Please could someone help with the Sussex connection. Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Dear All The transcripts of wills are available via the SFHG Wills Depository run by Rosie Ansell. Please see the SFHG Website for contact details. The testators are listed on the Website, by name or by place. All the names in the transcripts are listed in the Sussex People Index. My apologies that Frontis was not updated with this in November. I am still working my way through many transcripts Rosie has sent to me to have the names added. Hopefully I will manage the update in April.

Tony, Thanks for your help, and thank you everyone else who wrote in too. I actually bit the bullet and ordered the latest version of RootsMagic last night, having read what several listers had said about it. I am aware that I could probably have "made it work", but I'm happy to install the latest version of a program designed to work on both Windows 7 and Eight on all of my computers, main, backup and laptop. With luck it will cross the Atlantic in time for the bearded gent to put it in my stocking.

Graham, As I understand it Family Origins was discontinued in 2003 so current support is limited. You need to investigate Roots Magic. When Family Origins was discontinued the same developers wrote Roots Magic and claim that it is the only program that can directly read Family Origin files.

Patricia, In the SMI, the 1828 Hove marriage record shows John Dickson (bach) and Hannah Clarke (sp) as both of the parish. It seems to have been by banns, further implying that they had been in the parish for some time. I haven't spotted any other signs of them in that area ... children and so on.

Good evening listers, I have spent all day commissioning my new computer, on which I perhaps foolishly installed Window 7. Amongst all the hardware and software that need updating/ new drivers was my most important program – Family Origins. I have used it for very many years – the box actually says “For Windows 95 and 98”, although it runs happily on XP Professional. So I am looking for advice please on which modern program will accept my data and present it in a similar manner. Graham Noyce St Ives Hunts Mem No 9038

Hi I too find the new IGI 'difficult' but I now use 2 different methods which work well for me. 1. Go to www.archersoftware.co.nz Select eg England on the left list. Select the county. Select the parish. Enter surname being searched. You can then access all the BDM for that name in that parish. These are BDM from PR on the IGI. This site is like the Hugh Wallis one but easier to use in my opinion. 2. From the IGI home page select 'all data bases'. You can search for the database you want eg criminal or land records. Before selecting a particular data base check it covers the years and country required. You can then avoid getting all those long lists of USA records when you only want Sussex ones. Good luck Brenda
