I have finally got around to updating my tree on Ancestry.co.uk ! It took a while to merge in (it has been a while since it worked in Family Tree Maker), but I got there eventually, hopefully without mistakes.

I can now make use of the ‘hint’ feature for my new data – something I find to be one of the best things about FTM. It’s a lot quicker than manually searching on their website!

Still, I will be attending some Ancestry seminars at the Who Do You Think You Are Live! exhibition in London at the end of February, so I hope to be better armed with the skills to make the most of their website.

Exhibition review at a later date ….

The tree pages are currently undergoing an update, so please do not fret if something is inaccessible of looks wrong!

The family tree has been updated again (but note the caveats!) and can be accessed here. It also benefits from corrected HTML links to web sources, fixed thanks to a patch for Family Historian.

The number of individuals has now reached 1,174 and 291 families!

Here is a sample showing my family tree extents, as at 7th December 2008 – it is not supposed to be readable!

 The arc you can see shows my gt-grandfather’s brother marrying my gt-grandmother’s sister!
