Europe / Amsterdam population register 1874-1893 column titles
« on: Monday 01 September 25 18:29 BST (UK)  »
Dear Dutch genealogists,
I've not been able to find the headings for the 19 columns used in these books. Here's the particular page of interest to me which has Karl Mattheus Julius MOHR and his wife Elise (maiden name FRANKE) and step-son Karl Conrad Johannes Julius FRICKE. I can deduce that column 7 is the date of birth and column 8 birthplace but what are the others, please? A link to where they're defined would be great!

Thanks in advance....

The Common Room / Re: Cancelled Car Registration?
« on: Thursday 12 June 25 14:32 BST (UK)  »
"WK" means it was originally registered in Coventry. The registration was probably cancelled due to being scrapped. The use of ballpoint pen dates it to post-war, likely 1950s/60s. The amount paid is nothing to do with the first licence but was the amount paid back to the applicant (i.e. partial refund of the last fee) who was cancelling its registration.

I believe Coventry Archives have the records of registration cancellations so can probably tell you more about your specific car.

... use the snipping tool to snip and save the article, and discard the page...

The problem with this method is that you can only snip what is shown on screen. If the article is a long column, you have to zoom out to show the entire thing on-screen and then the resulting snip has poorer resolution. As already suggested, zooming in to be readable and then snipping sections and finally stitching those together in an image editor is the best workaround to the problem.

If only BNA would implement the same extraction facility as provided by Newspapers.com!

You can’t do much about the minimal number of programs (apps), so you have to review your data files to consider moving them to alternative storage. But before doing that, I imagine you’ve already reduced unnecessary system files (such as clearing browser cache) but what about cleaning-up Windows temporary files? There’s often 100s of MB tied up with those, even GBs if you upgraded Windows. That’s used space which is safe to recover.

If your laptop doesn’t have the Photos app now, you can reinstall it.
Go to the Microsoft Store to download.

If you double-click on the file that you've emailed to yourself, does it open in a photos app (so you can see the pic)? If not, that's the source of your problem. The Windows Photos app has a habit of "forgetting" the file-types its associated with but is easily fixed.

Report back as necessary.

Go to Settings > Apps > Scroll down the list to find the Photos (Microsoft Photos) icon
Select (click) it and then Advanced Options
Scroll down until you find Reset and click on the Repair box.

Unless you've cleared your browser history, its URL should still be there.
