Over 350 people are in the 5 generations alone and this image only shows half of that. The amount of children my ancestors had back then is absurd

Hi,

I had my ancestry subscription cancelled before I found information on my great grandfather and was wondering if anyone could help me check if this Robert Maas matches my ancestor and when did he arrived to New York. His mother's last name should be Mayer/Meyer.

Thank you!

Robert Leo Maas

If I click on anything in my ancestry.ca family tree, it tries to take me to a website called ancestrydev.com. And I can see that it is not httPS. And anyway nothing loads.

Has ancestry been hacked in some way? Is anyone else here getting the same issue?

this picture was taken in the camp they were born in; they lived there until they were four. they moved to america in 1951. their father was a polish POW under the nazis, and their mother was a forced laborer. they both lost their homes/families during the war and happened to be sent to the same DP camp, where they met.

I am currently organizing the largest family and extended family reunion for all the descendants of my great grandfather, the only member of his family that came to the new world, at the end of the 19th century, hired to build part of the railway since he was a Civil/Railway Engineer. He had about 10 kids in his life, and his kids had even more, being so that we are now more family members with his last name in the new world than the city where his original was from.

We have relatives flying from all over the country and some even from overseas, i’ve already rented the saloon, the catering and everything, but i wanted to do something special for it and put all the info that i have, putting my grandfather at the centre, but going both ways before and after him in the family tree, since i have that information, the problem is that i have all of it scattered between different certificates and registries and i do not know how to put them together in a nice way. I tried doing it in word, but that program seems to hate pictures and text in the same document.

is there any software that already automates the creation of a family tree, or makes it simpler? i've found some on the internet, but they are mostly web only, and i tried printing it and the formatting was all wrong.

It's a very fast "anything remover" for images. Runs in the browser, your images are not send anywhere. It's free of course and I made it.

This person wasn't in the spanish-american war right? He enlisted in November 1898 and that war was over in August.

Hello!

I've used the Ancestry android app since it's inception. I use the desktop website the most, but in the last couple of days in my phone, regardless of what tree I go to, when I click on a family member, it no longer brings their profile up. I get this instead. What is happening? What am I doing wrong? Please help. And thank you.

My father had a son from his first marriage.

They divorced a few years later (this was in the 1950’s) and his ex wife remarried

She remarried and did not want her son to have a different last name so she talked my father into allowing her new husband to adopt my brother.

I found out that I had a brother when I was 14. (My brother was at that time 28) but did not get to meet him until I was 19.

He began a new relationship with our father. I met his mom, but we fell out when our dad died. I was 27.

Nonetheless, I put him on my ancestry tree. He is my half brother.

I am now 60. He would be 74

I got a phone call from a corners office to tell me he died. They found me on ancestry!!

I just built a new tree to investigate a probable NPE. Ancestry started offering probable parents but how it decides what to offer is something of a mystery.

One of its offerings had an incorrect first name that was sourced from a tree that contains no sources. This individual is represented in many trees across Ancestry so the incorrect name could be identified as an outlier by even basic analysis. Why would it not choose my main tree which is highly evidenced by primary documents? (It did in a couple of other instances)

As someone who spent 20 years as a data analyst, finishing as a lead analyst, I find some of the choices made by these 'helpers' to be rather bizarre.

Has anyone been able to determine how it prioritises choices?

As the title says How do you name places in your tree when names changed over time?

I have been thinking of this for quite a while and am confused as to what is the best way to handle this.

As an example, many in my family were from Galicia in eastern Europe and over time the names of the country changed (see timeline below) as did the spelling of the towns.

Do you evter the country as Ukraine as that’s what it is now or do you enter it as it was named at the time of the occurance of the fact?

So a relative could have been born in Austro-Hungarian empire, married in Russia, children born in Poland or Soviet Union and died in Ukraine.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated as I have not been consistent in my tree.

Timeline for Galicia

 1772 Austria

 1867 Austro-Hungarian Empire

 1914 Russia

 1918 Poland

 1939-1945 occupied

 Post 1945 Soviet Union  Soviet Ukrainian SSR

 Present day  Ukraine

I have a family member who moved to Los Angeles, in the Santa Monica neighborhood, very roughly around the Santa Monica Pier or "The 10." She describes it in letters as "The End of Route 66 where it meets the Pacific." She rented a modern post-war bungalow house on her own. She had neighbors who owned their house, but then sold it to move to the Valley, claiming they didn't want to live in a house that was over 10 years old. This convinced her to leave Los Angeles and move back east.

No idea where she worked or if she lived off of savings (very frugally).

She obtained a California Drivers Permit and owned and registered a car- an Opel.

I am working with her next of kin to complete a Census Data application for the 1960 census.

Is there any other data source anyone can think of that I can reach out to?

ancestry.com does not have a lot of information given that this all occurred and other countries, especially during a tumultuous time. When not a lot of records seem to be readily available. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone tried sharing an ancestry family plan?

Just wondering
