Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / Re: not a user of family tree maker
« on: Tuesday 10 April 07 19:49 BST (UK) »
The GEDCOM, the GEnealogical Data COMmunication standard proposed by the Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons), and adopted by many developers and users of genealogical software. The purpose of GEDCOM is to simplify the exchange of computerized historical and genealogical information. This collection is provided as a convenient way to share GEDCOM information among interested parties. (taken from http://www.ged4web.com/gedcom.htm)
The GEDCOM file is very specific in what it can contain. So any GEDCOM file taken from one source and inserted into another program will be identical, there will be nothing missing if both programs adhere to the GEDCOM protocol. Information contained in one program may not be transferred to another but that is to do with the construct of the programs not the GEDCOM files.

Lancashire / street index census district
« on: Tuesday 27 March 07 00:57 BST (UK) »
hi
Has anyone got a link for a street index for Manchester that will enable me to look up a street and then from that info go to Ancestry.com or similar and search through the pages contained there for that street name.
For example Chapel Street, Gorton, Manchester is in the parish of St Thomas, District 42;
if I go to the 1861 census in Ancestry and scroll down the page I can choose the link "Gorton" and this takes me to a selection of districts If I choose district 42 this will take me to the ecclesiastical district of St Thomas and searching through to page 42 gets me to Chapel Street.......If that makes sense.
Thanks
John

Technical Help / Re: Missing photos on Picassa
« on: Sunday 25 March 07 22:06 BST (UK) »
Hi polidor
if the files are not shown as deleted then that is a good sign, as they must exist somewhere on the hard disk.
Do you have copies of the photos anywhere else as the files will be named the same on the hard disk?
Also try doing a search for DSC
as this is a very common file format.
remember that you can also search the deleted folder for files.
good luck

Hi there
if all else fails google "file recovery angel" or even "filerecoveryangel" tyhis is a nice little program that will recover all deleted files and folders. The beauty of this program (and maybe of others, I don't know) is that you can download the program and make sure that the files you are looking for have actually been deleted and not stored somewhere else before you buy the program
If the files/folders HAVE been deleted then the program will confirm this and then its up to you to consider if the purchase price is worth the recovery of the folders.
However if the files are not shown as deleted then you know they are still somewhere on the computer so a simple search should find them.
Good luck.

Hey excellent
It's all about using the software and trying different setting to scan at.
If you want if you tell me what scanner you have I will put together a bit of a "scanning for beginners " guide, but I'm sure that the more you use the scanner the more you will become confident and eventually expert.
