Technical Help / Re: FTM 2019 not backing up to Ancestry
« on: Tuesday 30 December 25 18:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, you haven’t explained exactly what the error is.
It looks like you have the latest version of 2019.
There was an issue, I can’t remember if they fixed it in 2019 or not.
Do you have 2FA turned on with Ancestry?
If so try turning it off, connect FTM to Ancestry and then turn 2FA back on again.
That fixed the issue for me when I had something similar.

eilthireach,

   Thanks, I am sure that is what I typed originally, now corrected.
   Pesky AI.

Westee, you are welcome, not that I am aware of my Nicolls are Angus folk, though I have Nicol, relatives of Deeside.

Hi,

    Without seeing what is written, I would suggest here, as the baptism is in New Machar?

     Ord of Elrick, the steading just south of the house.

      That pesky AI!

Ballintean anyone, it’s quite a way across the hills, but …

Or more likely a variant on Ballintomb? Much closer at hand.

Have you looked at the Elizabeth Morton who married in Carluke in 1791?
Otherwise running out of candidates.

That should be Eilizabeth perky auto correct!

Ann,

   Hi have you got him in all the Census records?

Ann,

   Hi, you do not give much to go on.
   Obviously unlikely to live to the point of certs, but stranger things have happened!
   There do not seem to be many St*r*t deaths in Cambusnethan, but they may have moved.
   What trace do you have of Alexander?

Angus (Forfarshire) / Re: Spink Family .. Arbroath COMPLETED
« on: Friday 26 December 25 23:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

   Welcome to RootsChat, I have to say I am not sure how you can complete the Spink family!
   Just trying to unravel my own Spink - Cargill links.
   I am intrigued by the photo, don’t quite see how it can be David Spink, died 1888.
   I don’t think the photographer was open then and the mount looks Art Nouveau.
   Would welcome others thoughts.
   Unless it is a remount / reprint?

   Happy Hunting.
