Technical Help / Re: Unable to link FTM to Ancestry

Hi,

   Is your Ancestry account using two factor authentication.?
   If so trying turning it off, logging in through FTM.
   Then turn it back on again.
   FTM are having issues with the two factor authentication, at least on some accounts.

Brilliant - that's cured the problem

Thanks very much

Have you tried logging out of Ancestry, starting FTM and then selecting Sync and in the drop down menu enter the new Ancestry log in details?

I hadn't, I've just tried that and it just adds a stage where the browser is opened at the Ancestry Logon - I put in my details and then I get another browser window open with the "Ancestry User Authenticated" and the FTM is left with the logon dialogue box.

Technical Help / Unable to link FTM to Ancestry

I've used Family Tree Maker and Ancestry for many years, with FTM linked to Ancestry to provide hints etc.

I've recently changed my logon email with Ancestry so attempted to re-link FTM with Ancestry using the new email address.   Once I enter the details, a browser page opens with a message "Ancestry User Authenticated"   In FTM, the dialogue box showing the logon details just has a spinning circle and never closes.

Has anyone got an idea how to clear this before I log an issue with Software Mackiev??

Thanks all,   I really like the idea of using the existing all in one with the lid up (I tried with the lid down some time ago - poor result).   As Gadget said, the cost of a large format negative scanner caused my wife's Yorkshire roots to show themselves  ;D

I going to spend some time playing with my all in one and see what results I can get.

Many Thanks

Thanks everyone for the ideas.   I used to have a Canon flatbed scanner with loads of filmstock adaptors (but not 120/620).   It went some years ago, sadly.   I did try scanning on my Canon all in one but the results were indifferent.   I'm going to try leaving the lid open and adjust scanning dpi.

Failing that, I'll look at the scanner suggestions.

Technical Help / Scanning old negatives
« on: Friday 04 October 24 16:48 BST (UK)  »
8 years or so ago, I bought a negative/slide scanner for all my photographs (mainly 35mm but with some instamatic)

I now want to scan all of my father’s negatives which appear to be two and a quarter square (inches).  I think, from memory they’re maybe 120/620 roll stock.

Any recommendations for a scanner that can do do the job?  Needs to be USB connection.

That must be a possibility.   For £3.00 it's worth a try.


Will keep my fingers crossed!

Bingo!!   Jessie died at The Paddington Green Children's Hospital Convalsecent Home in Slough on 16 Dec 1922.   Informant was her father Henry Thomas.

Is it possible that Jessie has died after 1921?

There is this death entry but no middle name  :-\

THATCHER, JESSIE       age 12 
GRO Reference: 1922  D Quarter in ETON  Volume 03A  Page 917

If you think it's the correct death entry a digital image is available on GRO cost £3

her burial

Jessie Thatcher  Age   12
Burial 1 Jan 1923 Kensington Cemetery, Hanwell, Middlesex
Burial Borough   Kensington and Chelsea

That must be a possibility.   For £3.00 it's worth a try.

An incredible thread - all from a record of a Jessie THATCHER sailing to Australia  :D

I think I'm going to have put Jessie to one side as I'm no nearer to discovering what happened to her.

I've deliberately not posted some of the family information as it's still a little sensitive, particularly regarding Henry Thomas THATCHER.

Thanks all.
Harry
