Many thanks to Mike and to everyone for their contribution. After consideration I consider my best course is to follow Mike' advice as I have no wish to build in a future maintenance problem. So a lumper I may be but pragmatism has driven me to a hybrid approach. Best wishes and lets hope we can soo...

Dear Mike, thanks for your insightful response and I apologise for not replying earlier. My reason is that you clarification has caused me to review my whole approach to the issue of certificates. I first looked at having a source for each certificate (of which there are a number) and as I'm a "lump...

I have created a new fact type - "birth registered" which allows multiple citations to a "GRO Birth index" source and allows recording the GRO index reference data in the "where within source" box.

David, you have provide me with the answer. I made the root person the most modern person in my family tree and I can now use the "down arrow" to navigate from the oldest relative to the present time.
Many thanks

Thanks for that. I would like to use the facility as you describe but when the direct descendant child (who is the direct descendant) does not have the "down arrow" I would like to know what has to be done to make this happen?

Can anyone explain to me what controls the down arrow icon in the LH column is designed to work? This is a very useful feature for navigating through the generations but its operation is erratic to say the least - help
