Technical Help / Re: Moving Family Tree to new laptop
« on: Monday 31 March 25 16:58 BST (UK)  »
I thought to report I was successful in getting my tree onto new laptop.  The original DVD/disc with FTM software on it was returned to me.  I used an external DVD reader to install same on the information to the new laptop.  The raw data of the tree was already on there having been transfered via a memory stick.  Thanks for your help and interest Biggles.

I have no FTM software on new laptop and am not a subscriber to FTM.   I will get back the old DVD and try and put that on new laptop via DVD reader and see how that goes.  For the moment the old laptop is still working as long as wired in as battery has died.  Thks for help Biggles.

Technical Help / Moving Family Tree to new laptop

I use Family Tree Maker 2012 (offline/not uploaded to Ancestry).  In 2018 I was able to move it to a new laptop with only a memory stick with data backed up on it.  I did not need to install the blank DVD and there was no driver to do this.  I am now setting up a new laptop and doing the same trick with the memory stick does not result in my tree appearing on the new set up. I can open the stick and see the data but it does not 'open'.

 It seemed a simple thing to do 7 yrs ago.  Am I missing something?   I do not have the blank DVD for FTM to hand but hope to get it returned to me soon.  I could plug in an external DVD reader?

Thank you for that teachers register, a great resource.  Was it just done for that year?  My grandfather was a teacher from c 1909.

Just to remind people that we look forward to the 1926 census being made available once the 100 yrs rule is respected,

Thanks for that - so nothing 'Scottish' about it :( .  And similar to calling a child 'chicken'.....

I had ancestor with name Anne Mackintosh and in marriage cert (London 1835) was written in brackets  'Henney' and this later was recorded as Emmi in census entries.  We suspect the Mackintosh was Scottish background where Henney was a common petname or so said my mother.
