Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / Ged.com disaster

I`ve absolutely no idea what I`ve done, but 3 gedcom files have completely disappeared !

I`ve managed to find a file listed for one of them, but computer says install NETdesktopRuntime to access it.

Is it safe ?

My only other option is to start from scratch using my hard copies.

The Lighter Side / Re: Researching Family History Can Be So Tragic
« on: Sunday 14 December 25 18:39 GMT (UK)  »
in the late 60s when my grandmother had pneumonia, she had made my granddad promise not to send her into hospital; now I know that her  mother Alice was born in the workhouse I wonder if that was the reason.

I`ve no idea if she knew , Alice was one of 5 illegitmate children.

My own birth is mistranscribed. I`ve written about this before, but to cut it short the problem was the Registrar`s handwriting !!

The Common Room / Re: Cleaning up a gravestone
« on: Saturday 18 October 25 21:31 BST (UK)  »
some years ago I helped with transcribing some gravestones; this was in Wales. I believe permission had been obtained from the relevant authorities.

To clean it  the gravestone was sprayed with shaving foam, the surpuls scraped off with a squeegee type blade. When the stone had been transcribed  the shaving foam was then washed off with clean water.

My mind boggles since I read a tip that shaving foam can be used to clean the grease off an oven door!!

I don`t know if this will be of any use to you.

It does say it was last updated in January 2023

The Common Room / Re: family baptisms on same day
« on: Saturday 20 September 25 22:21 BST (UK)  »
I know of a family where the husband and wife married 1854 in England.
 They were not on the England/Wales census of 1861 but I found them in the 1860 USA census with a child born in New York 1856.

They had 3 other children in USA, before having a child born 1866 in England.

The 4 older children were all baptised on the same day in the south of England.
