Thanks for the replies. I'll just wait for it to be fixed then as it is not something wrong with my equipment.

Since yesterday I have had some trouble navigating around this site.
If I click on The link "Forum" above or "General" or "RootsChat.Com I get this screen.
It also comes up when I click on some topics but I do not see any pattern in that. Anyone else had this issue?

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Recommendation for best software

I think that some other program, maybe Family Tree Maker, also has the ability to sync with Ancestry trees and download / upload media.
Some programs such as Reunion (Apple only) have a version which works on a tablet or phone so changes can be made offline and later synched with the master version which is on Dropbox or similar. Some programs just have a read only version on tablets and phones.

The Common Room / Re: help please: Ancestry has made my tree useless how do i delete it?

Essnell,
I can see no reason why you have a tree on Ancestry. It is causing you concerns and seems to have no benefit to you. So just delete it. End of problem.
You say that you have given photos to some woman and she, without asking you, has added the photos to her tree from which anyone can copy them and do whatever they want with them.
A relative once asked me if would like a certain image on the proviso that I did not publish it or pass it on. I declined that offer telling her that though I could promise now that I would keep the image private in a few years I might have forgotten the promise or I could die and my stuff could get passed on to some relative and who knows what then.
Ask the woman to remove it from her tree and if she refuses then you might consider legal action but probably best to write her off as a "not nice person to know" and cease all contact with her.
Where total strangers have got photos which originated from you - well happens to us all. That's a problem with putting anything online and not a lot we can do about it once it has got onto the Internet where there are almost no rules or rights to privacy or copyright. So accept some things have gone and you can never get them back.

I think there is a way to inadvertently lable a person as dead.
If you know a person was alive in say 2002 because they are on an electoral toll or for some other reason you might say that they were alive then so they must have died after that date.
However computers are stupid and this is then taken to mean that the person has died and are deceased. So avoid the “died after” status.
Ancestry is in breach of the data protection laws by showing trees with your details on against your wishes. Whether you can get them to take those trees down I do not know.
Chances are just one person has put you on their tress and somehow marked you as dead and the rest are just copies

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Brick Wall in Fylingdales/Robin Hood’s Bay - Richard Barnard/Mary Marriage
« on: Sunday 15 February 26 18:32 GMT (UK) »
The Find a Grave site is useful but does not replace the MI transcriptions which were often done 30 years or so ago. I recall being able to read the inscriptions on graves at Danby and Lythe 30 years back which 15 years later I could not read due to erosion - or is it my eyesight.

I was curious as to which St Stephens church they were buried at so checked in the MI booklets which are published by the East Yorkshire FHS.
Your Richards are buried by the old church.
Have you got a copy of the MIs? Well worth getting as memorial stones often mention members of the family who died in other places and also can confirm parent children relationships. BARNARD surnames at both old and new churches. JILLSON at the old church.
The MI for the Richard BARNARD who died in 1848 mentions daughters Mary Jane and Ann who died in infancy, Son William Barry who drowned in the Thames 29 August 1864 aged 25 years and his wife Isabella who died 29 March 1865 aged 25. Richard's wife Margaret died 10 Sep 1869 age 70.
I have occasionally found that families group their graves together and it may be significant that the grave of the Richard who died in 1854 (and his wife) are listed just before a grave of a JILLSON family.
