Really good plugin Jane even works with pdf files.
One query, is it possible to write your own source? You press Create Matching Source and you get a source added with a number at the beginning O5634 where does this come from? Source Type drop down is blank. Keep up great work.  

Thanks for all your answers of help, the problem with my witnesses might be because the Scottish certificates sometimes list peoples full names and addresses,when they are witnesses. I have another spanner in the works Nick, I have an custom attribute for an Occupation for a person after death. Agai...

Thank you Mike will have another go at it thanks for simple explanation.

Thanks Peter I done that as Nick said previously but I perhaps did not explain properly.My previous post included original template when I should have shown the one below Custom Attribute,I filled in Attribute, what do I put in Value? that is what I meant to ask. http://www.fhug.rjt.org.uk/images/up...

Jane is a gem of a woman who assists the beginner through to the more experienced user of Family Historian, many people would have been lost with FH if she had not set up this user group. Thank You Jane.

Can I say thank you to Jane for her 'Talkies' on how to carry out tasks in v4, on the Knowledge Base Wiki, everyone when they eventually get their copy of Family Historian v4 installed and working should first look at and listen to these helpful hints. Well done Jane. http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/dok...

Could it be that you need to run the programme as administrator, I had similar problem with a programme and tried right clicking on the installation file and clicked administrator it worked fine, just a thought as its vista you are using.

I think it is Tinker.
If you look at the occupations above all the letters are used except the first one and I believe its T as its very similar to how I write my first name.

Tinker:
A tin pot and pan seller and repairman

I forgot to add my late uncle died a month ago aged 95 told the story of his well to do aunt always taking him to the pictures(cinema)when he was young and was always drinking out a bottle that was in a plain brown wrapper in a pocket sewn into her underskirt beneath her long black frock, when he as...
