#1 rule, don't add anyone to your tree until you have met the recommendations of the Genealogy Proof Standard.

Then check again.

Where is the line between unfair lookups and collaboration?

I am enquiring on behalf of an associate, as they say.

Viktoria, going back to something you said earlier, I think it is outrageous that Tesco charged you for delivery when your order fell below the required level due to them not having items. I think that is atrocious.

I've had problems with Tesco, and they don't even have an email address on their website to complain.  You have to use that awful Facebook thing.

I highlighted all your text and copied it and pasted it into Perplexity.com, one of the AI systems. It came up with a very long response, too long to publish here, but it gives you lots of common-sense solutions.

All these companies that want us to download their app, you never hear of them offering to give you any extra storage on your device.

I really wish the supermarkets could come up with one single app that accommodated them all.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: MyHeritage Upgrades Its DNA Tests to Whole Genome Sequencing

I read 'somewhere recently' that they only do it one fifteenth as thoroughly as medical grade ones.  Also it won't apply to all their tests until the New Year.

The Common Room / Re: Bristol lies partly in Gloucestershire and partly in Somerset

Thanks OB.  I'm puzzled by the above link.  I'm still undecided how to record it.  I've always thought of it as being in Gloucestershire.  I don't know why I looked into it.

The Common Room / Bristol lies partly in Gloucestershire and partly in Somerset

Well, these days it's a unitary authority.

Suppose you need to record an event or person in Bristol, without any finer granularity.  How would you record the location of Bristol in bygone days?

3xgreat grandfather is my 4xgreat grandfather.  Or father and son.
