Re: Setting up AS for Banns

Basically, AS does not do Banns. However... I created a Banns auto-text template (I have several different ones) and I essentially fill in the the marriage details using the day of first Banns. Then copy the AS auto-text to the Text from Source on a Banns source I create and an event 3x each dated ...

Setting up AS for Banns

I have downloaded the templates from https://www.fhug.org.uk/kb/download/ancestral-sources-auto-text-templates-for-marriages-and-banns/ intending to set them up so I can capture Banns. However, despite there being several forum posts on the topic, I cannot find a clear set of instructions to do this...

Re: DNA Fact

Sorry if I am reopening an old thread, but it seems relevant. Until now I have documented DNA matches outside FH. Now I want to add that match information to relevant individuals. If not, then in Tools > Fact Types... tick Show Hidden and DNA Match should be listed as <undefined>. The previous discu...

Re: Bulk update of Event Addresses

That begs the question of how you know that the facts in your Project are genuine. Without any Source Citations, how can you prove that the entries are a true record? You are right of course, I need to do this properly and add the correct source citations and at the same time update the address det...

Mike, no there isn't a source record. Maybe my first step is to add one and link the similar records together? What was you idea?

Thanks.

Bulk update of Event Addresses

For a long time, I have been adding the Address along with the Place for events like Baptisms, Marriages and Burials. However, I do have about 2300 events that currently do not have the corresponding Address field populated (almost always the church dedication). For each Place it is often easy to wo...

Re: Add GRO Source plugin

Thanks Norman. I've just tried your plugin and it works how I expected.

The link to Mike's post is helpful, at least it explains how the other plugin is intended to work, but the result is not what I am was looking for and really it's not very efficient.

Thanks

Re: Add GRO Source plugin

This feels like I am entering some of the data twice like the person's name and fact date. Then it does not provide me with a lookup for the places, yes it does find them when you start to type, but that feels a little cumbersome.

Re: Add GRO Source plugin

You complete the Prepared Citation with the minumum details as requested by the DEA. The plugin then prompts for any additional info needed to create the facts and Text from Source. The workflow for this is really not clear. So for example, I create 1. A death fact for an individual 2. Add a citati...

Spouse ID in Individual display

In my Record List for individuals, I show the first spouse's name where one exists. How can I also show the ID of that same spouse? I don't seem to be able to find the correct expression.

Re: Add GRO Source plugin

I've still continued to use this Add GRO Source plugin (1.3.4). On later death entries in the index it gives the actual date of birth as informed at the time of registration. Can this field be added to the plugin to create a corresponding birth fact in addition to the age field?

Thanks,

Re: Confirmation screen needs to be resizable

Sorry,
1920 x 1080
Font was 10pt

Reducing the font to 9 or 8 pt partially resolves the problem such that the dialog now fits the screen. Only reducing the scaling to 125% actually stops the bottom edge of the dialog from cutting across the buttons.

Thanks.

Re: Confirmation screen needs to be resizable

Dropping the scaling to 125% fixes the problem. Is it a challenge to add scroll bars or make the box resizable in a future update?

Confirmation screen needs to be resizable

Here is a second question. The confirmation screens for the creation of birth and death events often have a large number of fields such that the dialog is too large for the display screen. The buttons are often missing and do not appear to be resizable or have scroll bars. Note the cropping at the f...
