The Common Room / Re: How to find the motivation to carry on?
« on: Tuesday 14 October 25 09:35 BST (UK) »Having been a member of "Ancestry" for donkeys' years, I often think about stopping that subs, and giving up - but a bit of me then worries what would happen to my trees on there? I obviously wouldn't be able to see into them, unless Big A makes them public, but how much would others be able to follow them? Would I have to delete them all to avoid that?
Till I work that one out I'll have to keep shelling out the money!!
TY
I currently have a subscription to FindMyPast but not Ancestry and I have no trouble accessing my trees there, I just can't see the record's images attached to the trees. The trees are private too!
So do cancel your sub if you no longer do record searches, you will still have access to your tree! If you might want to see the records at some point make sure you download the images to local storage before cancelling your subscription!!

World War Two / Re: year of photo

I think the feature you are regarding as a part of someone's arm is actually a folded door-flap on a Bell tent in the background, which would fit in with the summer camp theory.

Also don't rely solely on transcriptions, the old cursive script is often hard to decipher with a, e and o being misread as one another. If possible check the original record or a facsimile thereof.
