The link doesn't seem to work- perhaps you could re-check and post link.

Hello Aghadowey

Oh, third time trying to reply!!!!  Such pc battery problems this morning, and each time, I finished my reply and tried adding some smileys, whole message has disappeared!  No more smileys!!

Anyway, so sorry, a typo occured in the link, of course, 'ondex', should be index!

I originally erroneously started the thread on the England, Cornwall Board, as I thought that the relevant St Ives, was in Cornwall, and not the St Ives, in Doushire, Huntingdonshire.

Krisesjoint, the Moderator for Cornwall, very kindly moved this thread to 'General Completed Requests', I'm not sure if that is still in Cornwall, or in a general area?

It would be great if if could be linked to this thread in some way?

Cheers

Hello All

Have a burning curiosity to know exactly how fellow RootsChat Member 'weech' and myself are related, however distantly?!

I'm aware there are relationship calculators on the www, but I'm unable to download any due to ultra slow 'dial-up' only internet.

Please would some kind fellow member post the answer?

Myself, I'm the grandchild of maternal, great uncle's, younger brother.

Weech is the grandchild of my great uncle's, sister-in-law.

i.e.  my maternal grandfather, the Rev Thomas Aitken's older brother, Sir Robert Aitken's wife, Lady Caroline Aitken's (nee Lobb, India), younger sister,  Ellen Lobb's, son's offspring, is fellow RootsChat Member, weech.



Cheers

To correct the link go back into that reply and click 'modify'
You can then change ondex to index 

Add the word edited or added at the bottom to show it's been corrected or Aghadowey's next post will look silly

Hi Carol18353

Aah, Carol, thanks for that........I've wondered for ages how members edit their posts.  How silly can one be, I should have noticed the 'Modify' button before!!!!

But........I got all excited when I saw there was a reply from you, as I thought you had worked out the distant relationship between weech and myself!!

Frightened to use the smileys now, as they jinxed me, and both yesterday and to-day, at times when I clicked on a smiley, they deleted my whole reply!!

Cheers

Yep the link works 

Well done!

If you have a very long post to submit,and your internet connection is a bit iffy. Type it up as a word document first and then copy and paste it in.
Press control and V together.

Saves you worrying about losing it and having to swear at the computer lol

Hello Danchaslyn. I hope you recived my email and found it useful. As to whether we are related- I can't work it out!

Hello Weech

Thank you SO much for your email, I'm busy with the reply, as I post here!   

Just had a quick check here to see if our relationship had been solved, before I sent my reply to your email............perhaps, if I checked back and found the relationship calculator posted, you could make an attempt?     I think the relationship calculator details were given on another board, on RootsChat, (which I was going to refer you to, later to-day, along with some of my other "Aitken" threads), ........

Hi Danchaslyn

Pleased to see you received my email. I am away for the weekend but on my return I will post my info on this site as it may be of interest to others and I will try to answer some of your questions. I will also organise photographs but this might take a few days but I promise it will be done!
