#geniatip : Nutze die #metasuche von genealogy.net des @blog .

Bei mir hat es gedauert, bis ich die Mächtigkeit dieses #Tool​s erkannt habe. Mit einer #Suche über alle #ofb, dazu #gedbas #grabsteinProjekt #verlustlisten #passagierlisten #sterbebilder #auswanderer #zufallsfunde - alles was das #genealogie - Herz begehrt. Sicherlich eine interessante #Alternative zu #Ahnenforschung​s-#Portal​en wie #familysearch #myheritage #ancestry #findmypast #findagrave & Co.

#Grumpy @!!

For Armistice Day tomorrow I started a "Network" on #Ancestry for the Princess Christian Workshops and Homes for Discharged Soldiers and Sailors, Brookwood, Bisley, Surrey.

I easily found the 1911 census for it on #FindMyPast which I used as the basis for the network.

So ... I set up the first few people in the network and ... funny ... no 1911 census for them on Ancestry. Zilch. Naff all.

This is a real pest!! The key network reference record simply isn't there :(

As much as I moan about #Ancestry and #FindMyPast, at least when their websites go down, there's soembody on site to sort things out. Not like the #GRO site, parts of which have been down for a few hours, and are likely to remain down until tomorrow (they always seem to do their maiantenance between 8am and 10am).

Please explain, #FindMyPast, why, when I add a marriage event (from your hints), to a person it changes their Life status from #Deceased to #Unknown. *Even though the marriage was over 150 years ago*!

I see that #FindMyPast have today added incoming passenger lists (incoming to UK and Ireland).

What first caught my eye was seeing the names of folk who arrived from Trinidad on the Empire Windrush. My thoughts are with those whose names are here but whose entitlement to reside was rejected by the last government and as a consequence were summarily deported in their old age. So unjust.

Tfw I have found a person of interest on the 1841 census in #FindMyPast.

Being a good bunny I want to find them/it on Ancestry to link to my tree.

I could just do a screen grab off FMP and attach that.

But no. Being the devoted (obsessed) bod I am I spend half an hour doing battle with confused transcriptions and even worse presentations of search results until I finally get it.

:(
