Technical Help / Re: Ancestry in French
« on: Monday 03 November 25 21:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Paul
Thank you for your suggestion, which has worked for me in the past but now, even if I try to go to Ancestry.com, I don't get a choice of language or location at the bottom of the page, just a list of other sites such as Fold 3, Geneanet, etc.  When I have had this problem in the past it has eventually righted itself, so I'm living in hope that will happen again, as it's so frustrating not to have the most used British collections on the home page.  I rarely use Ancestry for my French research.
Regards
Judith

Thank you all for your useful suggestions.  I had this problem once before but it eventually righted itself without my doing anything.  It has just started again today.  Previously I was able to log in to the UK site without any trouble although for a time I was asked if I wanted really wanted to go there or to the French site.  According to Ancestry help I should have a setting in my account that enables me to choose a region and language but it isn't there.  Maybe I should contact them about it before doing anything else.

Thank you for your suggestion.  I'll give it a try but will have to find a suitable VPN.  Any ideas anyone, please?

Technical Help / Ancestry in French

Probably because of an update somewhere, when I go to the Ancestry website, it now detects that I am in France and automatically goes to the French version when I  enter the UK URL.  My British tree is in English and I don't want to have some documents in French.  Can anyone help me to remedy this problem, please?

In case it has any bearing on this, the navigators I use are Firefox and Edge. My Ancestry account settings don't have a section on language.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Regards

Europe / Re: Looking for any notable family background of my French ancestors

The majority of the trees on Généanet have taken their information from that of Denis Armangaud (though one or two show more detailed descendance), so I would suggest you concentrate on translating that one.

Frequently, as my husband is French!

Try one of the conversion tables such as:

What looks like a capital V is indeed one way of writing a capital R at the time.

Good idea - I wouldn't have thought of that, so many thanks.
