Apologies - didn't really understand what you meant by Template Expression . Not sure how to create one of those for a fan chart. I tried the looking in the Help, and came across how to create Text Templates, but I don't think they can be used on Fan Charts - that type of diagram doesn't have a Diag...

Thanks Mike. I think that would put each on its own line - I really want them on one line.

After a slight change of approach, I got something which works - replacing ExistsText(%INDI._FLGS.__1841_UK_CENSU%,"4") with ExistsText(%INDI.CENS[year=1841]%,"4") makes it short enough.

I'm trying to include a summary line on a fan chart indicating census returns I have relating to each individual, e.g. "678" for 1861, 1871 and 1881. I came up with a scheme using multiple ExistText(<flag>,<digit>), but there appears to be a limit on the length of the expression, who stops it workin...

You may have guessed that I'm starting to play the how to structure my PLACes game!

I notice on the glossary for places mention of 'Map My Family Tree' and 'Family Atlas'. Is anyone using these, or something like ancestralatlas.com? (Or even just FH plugins & Google?)

When I enter something in the 'location' field on the Ancestry search dialog, it pops up a list of suggested places, e.g. 'PUD' gives 'Puddington, Devon, England' amongst others.

Does anyone know what the underlying parts are - maybe Parish, County, Country?

Thanks,

Found the [Save] image option on a different toolbar. From a small sample of images for 1911, it appears that those in Ancestry are scanned at a higher resolution, but have the 'Infirmity' column blanked. So, think I'll go with FMP as the primary source of images, backed up by Ancestry for any missi...

Had a quick play with Ancestry Library Edition this morning, looking at the 1911 Census. The only options on the site for getting a copy of the original image were Print and Share . Decided to go for the Share option, which emails a 'friend' a link to what you have found. When I got home they was an...

Just had a look and it appears that my local library subscribes to both Ancestry UK and FindMyPast - I'll set aside some time to try these out! I mainly interested in the quality of the images of the UK census at the moment. tatewise said: Many UK public libraries subscribe to Ancestry UK, making it...

I've downloaded a demo, but haven't bought a copy yet.

If you have just brought a copy of FH did it come with a trial to World vital records?

Hi, I've been using FreeBMD and FreeCEN to build up a basic family tree structure, but I've reached the point of considering subscription services. I'm only (currently) interested in the source data; not uploading/downloading trees. I've seen Ancestry mentioned a number of times, as well as Find My ...
