Re: Strange issue wiht Braille Blaster
Richard Turner
Well, I think I solved the issue. Apparently, after updating to Windows 10 1020004, I had to check the Run as Administrator in the desktop shortcut. It has run normally now twice.

If Jaws is running when I launch Braille Blaster, it doesn’t open and Jaws reports Lost Focus, and Braille Blaster is nowhere to be found.

I don't know if this would be of any help, but maybe you or your trainer would want to take a look at Digital Ocean:

Hi,
If you are using the "free" FamilySearch page https://www.familysearch.org/en/
Try a simple search. There are six fields for First, Last, birth location, birth year, death location and death year.
You should get the page titled: Historical documents we found for xx — FamilySearch.org
Navigate to the heading: Top people we found for xx in the shared Family Tree
The next line is the button: toggle this to learn about xx
Activate the button with the space bar, wait a few seconds and then look for: To view historical documents of xx sign in, or create an account.
Tab to the create free account link.
I've never used this since I already have an account. I sign in and every 2 weeks I have to manually sign in and check stay signed in for 2 weeks.

eHi Ed. Whilst its not mentioned on any WebEx keyboard shortcuts page I have seen, given Ctrl+Shift+M mutes audiot in WebEx Teams and Ctrl+M mutes in WebEx Meetings, try Ctrl+V. I say this because in WebEx Tems, Ctrl+Shift+Vturns video on and off. I have raised with Cisco that their is no keyboard shortcut to raise your hand either in WebEx Meetings.

I know that there is a trial version of the software that you can try befor you buy. I hope this helps to answer the question about the company.

Re: Jaws2019 Strange for Jaws tandem

So perhaps the alt key is sticking for Addison, and
if she is doing insert T for Title, that would cause this.
Usually alt is the culprit in cases like
this.

Re: Another accessible / genealogy web site.
Tony
I’ve been using FamilySearch.org for a couple of years and can do fairly well with it. Parts of the site disappear from time to time especially on Sunday afternoons when it is heavily used. Also uses colors, images, and some unlabeled buttons and links. It is pretty easy to use once you learn to watch for the problems and can work around most of them.
One thing I learned is to keep the window maximized at all times. Rather than srinking character sizes they drop some items from the menus in order to keep the same text size. At least that is the way it appears to me.
I will try the other site some more to see why I had a different experience.
Thanks

I've given you the WikiTree.com site.
Another accessible source is the Mormon's FamilySearch Engine.
There is no need to register. You get basic information when you enter first & last names, birth & death locations and year (a range).
You should get a page with the title: Historical documents we found for xx — FamilySearch.org
Navigate to the heading: Top people we found for xx in the shared Family Tree
For each record found will be listed the information asked for and perhaps the spouse and parents.
If you toggle for more information on that individual, you will need to create a Familysearch account or sign in (no charge).
Researching distant family relations is a way to fill in my stay at home time.
