ColeValleyGirl - you just made me laugh out loud!!! Thank you that makes sense. I plunged into this at the start and input details in a rather "disorganised" way. As I discover more about my ancestors I'm now trying to be more consistent and do things "properly" so I may be guilty of overkill where ...

Mike thank you for the reply- yes from the previous replies and reading the Sources and Citations in Version 7 (for New Users) I now understand that. With regard to your last point as to whether the Citation is necessary - in my lack of understanding I assumed that Sources should always have Citatio...

Thanks to both of you for your help

Then went back to FH and the marriage event is there. It's obviously something to do with the having pre-existing people...

Hi , please forgive this question from a complete novice. I've come from the Legacy programme a while back, and (in my initial enthusiasm) entered data in a not terribly consistent way and am now trying to become more disciplined in my approach, hence starting to use Ancestral Sources. When I enter ...
