Really, all I did was pop in my E-mail and had to add noting else. Does this mean I already had an account or more likely my hard drive was copied and Redmound are going to filter through it later?

Probably, question about your 'nom de code', Vark111, related to the F-111 known as Ardvark??
|
|
|
|
|
Correct, sir.
I got it back when I first went online with AOL, and 'Vark' by itself was already taken. AOL suggested Vark_18 or something equally uninspiring, and I tried the 111. Stuck ever since.
I keep it today due to laziness. 
Just to be certain: I'm not a 'vark driver, just a fan.

CE doesn't have all the features of the purchased versions, but more than Express used to have. Most notably, it supports plugins! Somewhere on the MS site there's a full feature comparison list showing the extras that the purchased versions offer, but at least the Pro version isn't so much different, really.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

According to this site[^] I originate from Luton or Bristol area...it must be Bristol, it just has to be! And I met my missus in Bristol and not 'Spoons in Fratton.

I guess maybe my ancestors were from Wisbech[^]
But most of the time, I tell people I'm from Mars.

Strange, it says I'm from Portsmouth.
Nearly, center of the red bit is more Southampton and Isle of White.
Or possibly Devon.
My family name is from a village of the same name in Nottinghamshire, which is where all my family with that surname comes from for many generations.
I did know there was a significant cluster in Devon, but didn't know about the Solent link.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I have never met or heard of an Elston in this area. If it was the 80's I could have counted them in the phonebook for you.

Says I'm from Wrexham, Oswestry(there's a big red dot that encompasses both of those places). Joke is on them, I'm from Slovenia. 
But very interesting that it returned a result based on my last name. I guess it's not exclusive to Slavic nations.

Before my search I existed and I did not exist.

Not sure where in Scotland my family emigrated from, it was the mid 1800's.
But, for my wife, when her paternal grandmother left the reservation in Upstate New York, she was given a last name which indicates South-East England...
My wife's mother side is fresh-off-the-boat from Russia and Germany, though.

Northern Island??? I don't think so! My Dad is from Midlands and my Mum from Yorkshire, both moved to Devon as kids... I also believe the name is Scottish.

Notinthepub gave me no result, besides I think it goes back further than your Mum and Dads generation.

Ahh you are using my nom de code!

Having a non English name I tried it anyway.
There must have been some immigrants who settled in Carlisle (Cumbria) and Downham Market (Norfolk).

In my case, it gives my correct birth-town (London), but the family certainly does not originate there. I also tried some obviously foreign names - Sato, Matsumoto, etc. In all cases, it gave London as the most likely origin. Apparently, all it's doing is providing a density map of the family name(s) in contemporary records.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Is that good or bad?
