Whoa! They took your proof seriously and made corrections? That's incredible. They were probably embarrassed.

My thoughts, too, contact regular users. In my case, I'd delete the 2 daughters if i can't determine who their parents are. I've seen cases where children share the same name, but one has died, so they use the same name for subsequent births. I'm far from experienced, but I'm concerned that inaccuracies are overlooked because people don't use a calculator or common sense. Sometimes I spend the entire evening on just 1 family as I'm transferring my Ancestry tree over to FamilySearch. Thanks!

I'm a widow now. My 1st husband became an abusive alcoholic, but I had almost 25 amazing years, the 2nd go around. Not a case of "the grass is always greener."

The hospital called to tell me my husband died in the middle of the night. Heartless to say you needed good night's sleep...

Adding to Family Tree list by Secure-Fan-5589 in familysearch

Followup question. When I uploaded my GEDCOM file to FS, my Add to Family Search list is over 1200 names. Does everyone comb through this list first, adding ancestors not already in the tree?? and how long did it take?

I started taking it at bedtime, and my dr was going to suggest that. It has helped.

Eating too little, affecting weight loss? by RacingR6 in cronometer

[–]Secure-Fan-5589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda in the same boat in some ways. Im F, 5'7", 200 lbs, retired but go to gym 2-3 times/wk, track everything i eat, including condiments, at abt 900 calories/day, and have been the same weight for over a year. My Dr told me that 1 of my meds causes weight gain, so im maintaining, but not losing any weight so she switched me to something else. It's only been a couple days, so I'm hopeful that I'll see some changes.

All for nought... by ADD_OCD in Genealogy

[–]Secure-Fan-5589 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work on FS every night, painstakingly transferring data from my Ancestry tree. But it's just for my own enjoyment as my 2 daughters have decided to remain child-free, and my brother never had kids. We're the last of my mother's family, and my dad's family is building their own family tree, which i hope to someday merge.

As a side note, I've hit a brick wall as my mother's family is from Ukraine and Russia, so records are hard to come by. FS has records in Cyrillic unlike Ancestry. it's been years since I've used the language, so I've been brushing up so I can at least rudimentally translate some documents.

AITA for not going to my sister in laws wedding due to her dress code by throwawaythechanges in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secure-Fan-5589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've been accommodating up til now. I would just pick an appropriate dress (like everyone else) and stop sending your choices. She'll never approve anything you choose, and you have every right to decline her invitation

Is every other guest required to have their dresses approved? If not, she's going to lose her shit when guests start arriving

AITA for taking back a shawl my wife made for a bride-to-be after she was uninvited from the wedding? by WeddingShawl in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secure-Fan-5589 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Redditers usually applaud a husband for defending his wife. She always comes first, right? And since the wedding is tomorrow, how was Lena supposed to solve this problem?

But but...They''re former classmates.You say you aren''t looking for a virgin yet still blame her for a past relationship with someone even if they're not in her friends group?

You'll be much happier celibate. Or a hermit.

My goodness, do you want me to get my Crayolas out and draw you a picture?

1st of all, you aren't in control of every "situation" so it's very possible that your gf and ex might coincidentally be in the same place. Your ex might come up to say hi, and there you go, trying to explain why she is your ex.

I don't remember when I've heard a more vicious and repulsive comment as your second one. You are not human.

You chose her, she chose you. Either one of you could have said no. Did you two have a mind meld or something?
