Yes, very much.

Thanks again.

More spending; and it's not Christmas yet!

Thanks for your thoughts on this matter.

You said: 'I purchased a netbook for about £300'

Any particular Brands/models to consider.....??

Hi everyone, Not being technically minded to the degree of this question, your comments would be appreciated. I've been thinking about buying a Tablet device, iPad or similar. How, if at all, would it be possible to use FH4 (and soon, cos I've ordered it: FH5) on a Tablet device? My laptop is still ...

Hi, please redirect me to established thread if it exists. When I add a family or a married couple using AS to FH4 the parents/couple are each given separate Residence facts. Is it possible to have the parents/couple entered as Shared Residence? I am continually re-entering this detail manually afte...

Fantastic!

Thanks very much, Jane. It's so simple when you know how!

Problem resolved,

Hello, please redirect me if needed to established thread if it exists. I am aware of the 'Record Scholar as Occupation' option. Is there a way of having this fact entered as 'Education' rather than 'Occupation'? I am manually having to change this within FH4 and then deleting all 'Occupation: Schol...

Hello, I've looked at the threads and topics but cannot find one relevant to my query, so please redirect me if needed. Can anyone guide me thus: I have a person on my tree (FH4) and have had an ancestry established for him. However, I now believe I may have the wrong parents and have added a new se...

'Work and 'real life'' ....that should be for those that haven't discovered family history research; they could have my job gladly.

Thanks for the reply Nick and thanks for all your hard work on AS.

Hi Nick and everyone. I haven't added any (more) sources to FH4 other than Census as I am eagerly awaiting Nick's next masterly offering of Ancestral Sources. Birth, Marriage, Death, Baptism, Burial, Probate........the question I have to ask is 'which one and when??'.......!? Shaun Moorcroft PS Happ...

Thanks, Tatewise

Thanks PeterR, In response to your last post: Thanks, I see what you meant now! Can anyone tell me what the purpose of the Address field in FH is when 1) if you type an address in the pop-up box as multiple lines it actually adversely affects how the words are presented, no commas just thick black l...

Hi, PeterR When I type in the Place Field I can only do so as one line of writing. If I key ENTER at the end of the line there is no Return to a next line, therefore I would take this as a Single Line Field. The button at the end of the line opens up the Places List. However, the Address field is ex...

Hi Stevebye, Sorry Shaun, for Place read Address. So, do you just use the Place field for the complete 'address' - house number to country - leaving the Address field blank? How do you, or anyone reading this in fact, deal with this when using Ancestral Sources...because if I were to only complete t...

Hi Stevebye, hope you don't mind me asking, but if you don't use the Place field, and bearing in mind my initial query regarding not being able to report on anything typed into the Address field, how do YOU know the whereabouts of your 'people'. If one just uses the Address field then the Data: Plac...

Thanks for the replies, Jane and Nick. I read the two 'WISHLIST' links. I gather, then, that the problem lies with the standards and limitations of the GEDCOM framework, and that the only real way around the Address/Place problem is for the good people at FH to 'break the rules' and offer an update....

Hi, I have a query with Places and Addresses. If this has been dealt with elsewhere I do apologise and would ask that I be re-directed: thanks! When I first started working with FH4 (after spending some time with FTM 2010) I noticed how differently FH4 works with locations. It took me a while to und...

Thanks Adrian, I believe you are right in your decisions to chop and crop, and I have done to various degrees before now but I am always scared that I may be losing important info that I will regret losing later on. However, There is no need to have the parish, or county because one can't have the a...

HI, I know this is an old post but I had to comment as it is part of the info in the link..... http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:organise_your_files ....which has to some extent caused me trouble. By the time a file with a fairly long filemane, such as an 1841 Census (as taken directly ...

Hi PeterR and RSellens.

Thanks very much for taking the time to respond to my sad cry for help! The advice, which I'm going to follow, makes perfect sense. Shaun

Hi Nick and Tatewise. My head is spinning. I have 2, say 1901, Census 'sheets', say Folio 118 pages 32 and 33. On 32 there are 2 schedules 184 and 186, both important to my 'tree. Schedule 186 'overlaps onto the second sheet, page 33. In FH4 I still only want each Census Source to be represented; ar...

Thanks Nick.

I feel satisfied with the answers offered here. Fin.

Cheers, Shaun[smile]

Thanks Nick, Jane. Your instructions are clear and easy. As I'm new to all things FH4 and AS now that someone else shows me how I can see how simple things really are. Thanks. Unfortunately, and from your explanations it is obviously something that cannot be corrected, when other individuals are con...

Hi, this is my first time post. Hello to all. Please let me know if this has been asked elsewhere..I can't find any evidence though. I can quite happily take a Census (say 1891 RGx/XXXX/XX/XX and using FH4 and AS enter individuals from, say, 1 Smith Street, into the system, creating a Source and lin...
