Sorry Mike I didn't make myself clear I haven't had any name errors. If I did I wouldn't worry about them.
I only import things to FTM to provide connections to Ancestry. If any name errors appeared on FTM I would just ignore them as FH is my default tree and I only work on that

Mike
Fortunately for me I don't have any junk data

Victor

Personally I am not bothered by name errors when I copy my details to FTM. To me FH is my default tree and I work on that all the time. I use FTM to provide links to Ancestry

Whenever you use a place name make sure it is fully correct including the county name. One problem some places were moved from one county to another when the county boundaries were changed in (I think) 1974. You will have to decide whether to use the old county name or the new one. You can keep the ...

Bear in mind there are similar place names in different parts of the country. As an example there Is Cottingham, East Yorkshire and Cottingham, Northamptonshire. Another example is Scalby, North Yorksire (near Scarborough) and Scalby, East Yorkshire near Gilberdyke

I have downloaded one image. This was of my father and his first family. In previous census they all started with the reference RG11, RG12 etc followed by poice number, Folio and Page number. The 1921 census does not have any of these so it makes it hard to save them for identification. All I can fi...

If you use Ancestral Sources the census dates are automatically shown

I tend to put names as long as there is a link to them even if not directly related tome. FTM does a good description of names linking to me and example is 'uncle of wife of grand nephew of wife of 1st cousin twice times removed of Victor' It is not doing an harm to the tree and wont show on narrati...

Sorry about that. I said GRO source plug in which is not via AS but direct filling in of details. The plug in states 'add GRO Source' which I prompt

Victor

If I don't have a BMD certificate I use the plug in 'GRO Source' which works fine for me

Victor

Ignore my last message.
Just did a check and found the census and BMD have appeared.
I did nothing since my last posting.
I wonder why Could it be Win 11 was still upodating things?
Sorry to have wasted your time and thanks for looking into it
Victor

This my option set up. Just like your posting. This doesn't include census images. I have increased the max number of images to see if any are shown.
Perhaps I should open a previous back up and see if I get the images in the narrative report.

Thanks for your reply Mike Here is another image. For the 1881 census As shown here the arrow used to be blue. This time it is grey. I prompt the blue picture near the red cross. This opens to what was shown in my previous message for edit. In days gone by I never had to do this and the image was co...

In the past I have done a lot of narrative reports. These reports included an image from say census or BMD certificate. But lately these don't appear in the reports. Photo of people do. The attachment shows greyed out areas of 3 options one can chose. Has anyone come across this problem? I have chec...

Sorry correction I should have said download.
Now 8% Guess I better leave things as they are do nothing go for a long walk and hope the figure will be higher but I doubt is as my computer goes to 'sleep' when no activity is taking place. I guess when in sleep mode the downloading stops

Victor

My PC is currently being upgradedto Windows 11. It is very slow after about an hour it states the upgrade is 7%

As anyone had a faster upgrade?

Victor

I have FTM but always and only work on FH. From time to time I copy FH to FTM so provide me with links to Ancestry

I have the latest version of excel which is called Excel workbook ending with .xlsx
Tried to post an image on here but couldn't

Vctor

I always save census images. certificates etc in an external folder which I have set up under the flkder Family Historian Project. I use a sub folder called Family information which in turn has sub folders under the various surnames, census, births, baptism etc. When I use AS I import the images fro...

My comment about the 1939 Register was because many people treat it as a census when it is not. It was created to register those living in the country when war broke out. The register was subsequently use to register people on the NHS when it was created in 1948. The modern electoral rolls we see th...

1939 is an Electoral Roll not a census. I have access to lots of these in Ancestry. If there are living people the names are blanked out. Living people are determined by their ages. Those under 100 (living or not) are usually blanked out though not always (my brother and sisters names have been blan...

Save it as RTF file and when that has happened open it then save it again as a word file or PDF
I always save it as a Word file and edit it to suit e.g. make images larger especially census images

Victor

Go to edit on the top of FH and prompt 'undo' that will restore what you have deleted. Though I am not sure it works if you delete blocks. I have deleted a number of tiems and prompted undo several times going back to the first item I had deleted. All were restored

Victor

Mike
Have just done that. I was not aware of that on my profile.
I notice the profile asks for Facebook, Twitter etc. Do I need to add my details on there too?

Victor

Lorna
I have just read your message I am using the latest FH version 7. I haven't got round to doing a narrative report since the upgrade. Might do one this coming week
I am not a fan of RTF
