Lots of times I see people transfering info from a site such as Ancestry straight onto a post like this. As i`m not very computer literate can someone please put me out of my ignorance and tell me how to do it.

Its called copy and paste, so you lift the info from ancestry or wherever, and paste it onto the reply box on GR, only practise will do it.

for example Pieman I hold the left mouse button down , over your post so it is all 'highlighted , then press ctrl key and c key

then press 'ctrl' and'v'

thus: " Lots of times I see people transfering info from a site such as Ancestry straight onto a post like this. As i`m not very computer literate can someone please put me out of my ignorance and tell me how to do it.

To copy, hold the left mouse down, start at the bottom right up to the top , release left mouse, until the piece has changed colour, highlighting,......open the page at the top bar and the box will drop down..... click copy

If you press the back button a few times you should return to the question quickly

return to GR , open the reply box, open the page on top bar and click on paste.
