Great Cabbie thanks. The second sounds what I want. Never noticed Research status before.

I don’t know if this would work, but there is something a bit like a luggage label, which offers various tags you can attach to a person, eg Direct Ancestor, died young. There is also a list re research status, one of which is Completed. I have never tried it, but I wonder if adding this tag would work to stop the hi ts? Probably not, but worth a try.

Cannot work out how to stop Ancestry coming up with records and hints about people several generations beyond the person I’m interested in. I ignore the hints; it asks Why; I write ‘I have no interest in this person’, but that is ignored.

I’m working on someone born in 1720. I’ve logged his only son and the son’s 4 children but have no interest in those children’s marriages, offspring and deaths. I’m drowning in them.

I’m sure this must be simple to fix but I can’t work it out, the Help button on the website doesn’t cover it and the interactive help is never active when I try.

Many thanks to anyone who can help.
