Deleted my PMs by accident
« on: Thursday 08 March 12 16:57 GMT (UK) »
Is there a way to recover my Personal Messages?

I haven't downloaded some of the info from them, but when I was starting to screen & delete those I didn't need to keep, they ALL disappeared  :o ... techo peasant that I am.  ::)

Please, please, please tell me there is a way to recover them.

Many thanks,

I don't think there is.  I know I've done this in the past, it's really annoying.

Sorry, but I think once they are gone that's it. However, perhaps the whoever sent you the information originally will have kept a copy or still have teh original information.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

About 1.5 hours ago I deleted my PMs by accident.  :'( :'( :'( :'(

A Chatter in the Common Room suggested I contact the system administrator regarding a possible back-up or recovery (link attached).

I'm not sure how to contact a system administrator, but am desperate to retrieve the messages.

Help please.

I'll send you a PM with a link that should help
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.
