Hi Nick, I was hoping you would join in the chat. The details are exactly as you mentioned with the addition of relevant fields for the marriage and death entries. I found the census program made things a lot easier when entering data in FH and wanted to find something similar for the BMD entries of...

Hello Eyejay and everyone,
You have made an interesting point, which is continuing to take up my time here. How do I get the FRC data into FH from a spreadsheet ( a lot! ) I was thinking how could I automate it? Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a web server application to allow me to run this application?

Tom Beckham

Attaching the images is a major factor for me, so whatever I decide will need to have that.

Tom

Thanks Patrick,
Your method was the first that came to my mind, but before I committed myself, I wondered if anyone used alternative methods?

Hello, I have a large amount of B/M/D 'data' originally from the FRC which I wish to add to the people within Family Historian each with an image of the record. It consists of the usual data i.e quarter, volume, page, district plus age at death, mother's maiden name etc dependant on whether the reco...

Maggie,
I forgot to say I am using the first option!

Tom

Thanks Maggie,
that does the job well.....I would be interested to hear of any other routes?

It may be quite simple, but is there a way to add a 'to do list' such as to add to a family 'there are 5 missing children as having died on the 1911 census'
Then a report as to all the outstanding to do items will inform me whether any further research is needed.

Tom

I have just added the new data to the pd-indi,fhdata file as per the military and Census 'add on' as posted. However the tabs do not appear as supposed to? FH works ok so the file is good?

Tom

Belated thanks to Peter and Jane....can see the info I need!

Tom

Thanks for the reply Gerry, however the messages only state how to install the file on your own system , I want to `write' my own tabbed pages file, and to do this I will need to deduce or otherwise the meaning of the various numbers which I am guessing positions the entry fields etc etc? I cannot f...

I am coming back to Family Historian after leaving at version 2. I am looking at the file download as named above to see how it is done. Is there anywhere that can help me understand the method? I can undertsand most from looking at the file but would like to work out the meaning of some of the word...
