Hello Helen
I must have missed this site.
Can you give me the URL so that I can look up St Barnabas (if there is one?)
Thank you

There have been substantial changes to the www.familysearch.org website,
particularly in searches available on Ancestral File and the IGI. The main
ones are:
* continue to the "next 200" after a search gives an initial 200 hits
* save as GEDCOM (IGI events, Ancestral File pedigrees and families)
* specify a country and a range of years
* choose exact spelling
* parent search does not require surname of mother, just forename/surname
of father, forename of mother

As it happens, I looked up "sokeman" in the O.E.D. the evening before
seeing this query in the digest. I find it rather sad that I now have to
use the magnifying glass to read the small print in the compact edition!
Anyway, while a socman or sokeman is a socager, this has nothing to do with
scutage. Scutage was payable by a tenant by knight service in lieu of
providing one or more (or a fraction of one or more) knights for forty days
a year. However, military tenures were converted to socage in the

Our local British Legion is compiling a Roll of Honour of villagers who have served in the Forces since 1940. Unfortunately one of our older residents has forgotten his Naval number. Can anyone advise where we could get this info. Thanks. Mike Rose at Brassington, Derbyshire - just outside the Peak Park!
Hi Barney,
When I try to order something from the SOG it shows a cookie not allowed
page ( I have set my browser to Do not accept cookies ) after I try to
confirm my order, or is this to do with the JavaScript. If so how do you
enable?
Dave.

I have only just started 'playing' with the Uk-info disk distributed
with November's edition of Personal Computer World. When I commence the
installation process, I get past accepting the licence conditions and
also identifying the folder I would like it to install to - then it
hangs. I have tried a number of times and it happens at the same place
every time. The task manager says 'it is not responding'. I have closed
down all other programs (Office bar, virus checker etc.) before
starting.

The last member of my family to appear in BLG was my father who appeared
in in the I think 1911 edition at the age of 1! The landed bit ended
around 1922 after the house in Gory was burnt in the troubles though
there remained some gound rents in Dublin until sometime in the 1960s
when my father managed to get rid of them - thank goodness he didn't
leave that problem to me.
But I think somebody must have done a bit more than just return the
galley proofs because the early seventeeth century stuff changed i

It all depends on the type of plastic and the type of document. Polythene and

The December issue of PC PRO has the Shorter OED on its cover disk. You
may have to hunt if you want the CD version, WHSmith in Oxford seems to
have taken to stocking mostly the DVD version of the magazine.
If you have 158 Mbyte free on your hard disk you can drop a copy on there
and avoid having to load the CD to use it ...
Once installed the "New SOED" program fails to recognise the PRPRO CD as
a NewSOED CD, you have to cancel and then show it where the data file is

This may be slightly away from the original question, but if Keith has a
once-only opportunity to copy borrowed family photographs, it may be worth
getting a photographic copy rather than a digital one. I have had copies
made by Boots - in our Ealing branch (and I assume others) they have an
in-store machine which looks like a photocopier but produces photographic
copies. Quite expensive, about #5 per photo, but I decided Samuel Hawgood
photographed in the 1860s was worth a fiver. (For one or two photos, th
Hello Listers,
I am wondering if anyone can help me with the following?
An ancestor of mine was granted letters of administration in respect of her
husband's estate. He died at the age of 34 years without a will. She was
bound to pay the Lord Bishop of Chester 500 pounds within 6 months of her
husband's death unless she presented the Court with the details of the
estate. I presume this was a legal strategy to ensure that the estate was
administered in a proper manner and that a "true and perfect inventory"
I have tried a GEDCOM download from the IGI on the LDS FamilySearch web
site.
The GEDCOM is version 5.5, equivalent to that use in PAF 3.0 (and most
current genealogy packages). The GEDCOM is different from that for the same
events obtained from CDROM. On the Internet version, the source referenced
is a call number within the Family History Library at Salt Lake City - e.g.
"0919743". On the CDROM version, the source reference is a description in
words of the source - e.g "Extracted birth and/or christenin

But if the photograph is still within copyright you would infringe that
copyright by making a copy.

Hi all,
Does anyone know the above please, is it still standing and if so what type
of building is it ? Do you know where the Electoral Rolls for 1898-1900 for
the above are ? I am looking for the CARNE family who were there in 1898.

Dave.
Barney,

Have I clicked on something unintentionally, of has someone linked SOG

If not, how can I stop the 'rain' of unwanted queries?
