Yes Jenny my eldest daughter is a wiz but would not show me how to do anything saying 'I showed you once' and we would end up rowing. She now lives in South Africa so at least there is peace in the house - although I am missing her loads. Carol

carol I dont know anything myself about computers only what I have picked up on here from other members, my son who has learning dificulties helps me when I'm stuck lol. jenny

Thanks Jenny, knew I could find other peoples nos. it was just mine that was the problem. Like I said previously not to good with computers still dont know about Gedcom, think that is why I am awash with paperwork. Must go on a course one day, but can't find the time, perhaps when I retire. Regards Carol.

Got to go soon but I will have a wee look later to see what else we can discover,and 'who' is No 1??? ps Carol don't chnage your name yet,on this thread lol Marion

if you save your gedcom from genes your membership number will be on there along with your surname like smith123456. another trick is if you click on a members name you can see how many names they have in their tree. jenny

Morning Marion, you are 22945 so that is the lowest I have found so far, just curious how many of us there are or have the scrambled the nos like on 1901 when they realised you could put households together without paying. Regards Carol

Morning Carol, I have no idea about the menber's no's, but somebody will! I do know you can change your name by going to 'my account details (on left) you need your password, then change your name from there. Marion

Now we know how to find out membership numbers, does anyone know if they started in high figures as I do not seem to be able to find any below six figures, is there a 1 or 2 out there. Carol

Youre welcome Carol!! Good luck with it Val :~))

Thanks Val good night. Carol

Hi Carol Yes you go to your account details and where it asks for your surname you put whatever you want Good luckVal :~))

Hi Val, everyone on here seems to have a handle it seems quite boring to be known by your own name. Don't know if you change it in your account details. Like I said not very good with computers only good at finding lost rellies. Regards Carol.

Hi Carol why do you want to change your name? If you are wanting to add something to it, or take off your surname, give me another shout I can at least help you with that! Altho I am going to my bed in 10 mins! Val :~))

Marion/Val I can assure you I am thick. lst time I have started a thread quite surprised at responce. Now perhaps you can tell me how to change my name, see told you I was thick lol Carol

I used to wonder why a lot of the threads were filled with nothing to do with the heading, now I know lol. This site remind's me a bit of the film 'The Shining' he was meant to be writing a book and had written nothing,but then he did go mad!! But at least we can all find members numbers'. Marion :~)))))))

You're very welcome Liz Val :~)))

Mike I never thought about needing to know numbers before! but its an ideal way of finding the culprits who ruin the threads sometimes!1 Thanks again!!! Val:~)))

Marion one thing Carol did do, was start an interesting thread!! I do hope after all this help from everyone, she managed to work it out Val :~)))

Val.... In the early days of GC that was the only way we could tell if they were a Guest or a full member.... if guest it just stated key Number MIKE

I hope Carol got sorted,maybe she is not so 'thick' lol Marion
