In the interest of understanding how the rest of you organise yourselves; How are your Favorites setup on your computer? I have a folder full of family tree links but I have 5 links setup to appear on the toolbar. Genes = http://www.genesreunited(.)co.uk/genesreunited.asp?wci=yourhome Census = http://www.ancestry(.)co.uk/search/rectype/census/uk/default.aspx BMD = http://www.ancestry(.)co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx FaimlySerach = http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp Trees = http://www.ancestry(.)co.uk/trees/awt/main.htm What are your favorites? Cheers...Paul |

I have GR and Ancestry on the toolbar, but I also have http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/ I find it's so useful for getting to links for the various sites I want to use, I often don't have the links in my favourites/bookmarks. I also have http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/ and http://www.a2a.org.uk/ Christine |

Hi William The way I do it - is as follows. 1. Click any blank space in the toolbar. 2. From the menu that appears - make sure Links is selected. 3. A new Links toolbar will be added. 4. This is the same Links folder that appears in your Favorites so anything that is saved there will appear there. I hope this makes sense... Paul |

I have lots listed in my favourites of sites I visit often such as Genes and online banking. all you need to do to add them is when you are on a site you want to keep you click on favourites on the toolbar at the top and then on add to favourites & accept. my favourites is yards long!! |
