Ancestry members with a One World Tree

from my email:-

If you're one of our members with a One World Tree you'll shortly receive an e-mail advising you of how you can transfer your One World Tree across to our new Personal/Private Trees to start making using of our new tree building tools, including photo uploads, mini-ancestor bio's, share options with friends and family and more.

To receive the email, ensure you have the Product Watch box ticked on your e-mail preferences page.

Personally I think it is better to use the freebie RootsWeb, (worldconnect and freespace) for this because you get more control and I even use blogger for the LAPHAM one-name pages.

Play about with the links to my trees and my sites in the side bar to this blog before making up your mind.

FamilySearch org

I feel in debt to this great library and archive:-
FamilySearch.org - Family History and Genealogy Records

BUT my own genealogy is a work in progress and contains errors and hypotheses or assumptions.

The terms of submission of any GEDCOM include:-

• You agree that once you submit your genealogy to us, it becomes our property and cannot be retracted or returned. However, this does not limit your right to publish, sell, or give the information you submit to others.

Because I cannot retract my work to correct my own errors which I may discover later. I feel that I should not submit my data there at this time.

So you will have to see and follow the links to my trees in the side bar of this and my other pages.

Cemetery Headstone Photos on Rootsweb

Cemetery Headstone Photos: "Cemetery Photo Album of St. Peter's Cemetery London ON.

Created with Adobe Web Photo Gallery.

It is of the old ABC section of the original cemetery. This is a project taken up in my retirement and will be ongoing, while working on our family tree I became aware that there is much information to be gleaned from head stone inscriptions. My hope is that people may see this site and begin their own. If any errors are encountered please send an email that I may correct them.

Hants Hampshire England

Welcome to Knightroots a website on the Knight family and an online Hampshire genealogical resource. We are Linda and Tony Knight and we live near Southampton, United Kingdom.
We have been interested in our family history for some time now and have over 5000 names on our joint family tree. Our research interests include Hampshire, Dorset, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Sussex, Staffordshire and the Isle of Wight as well as Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Massachusetts and India.

One of the main features of this site is the online transcription section that is located in the Hampshire OPC section, designed to help other people searching for names in their family tree. We hope that you find this useful. Records are being added from our own resources, as a result of Record Office visits and transcriptions from other volunteers.. Please note that while some of the the transcriptions on this website are only partial transcriptions, there are some registers have been completely transcribed.

Viewing this data cannot ever replace checking the original data from either a verification point of view and researchers should ALWAYS endeavour to view original registers whenever and wherever possible. There is no overall index to the data and if you are unsure as to which Parish your ancestors may have come from, you may be helped by the baptism, marriage and burial indexes produced on cd by the Hampshire Genealogical Society

In addition over 500 of our own photographs of many Hampshire historical locations
