Jane - WOW!!!!
After your demo I now find it a doddle.
Thanks hugely.[grin]

Can anyone help with how I can get a column showing Sposes Name in the Record Window please? I have tried to use the 'Lists - Configure Record Window Columns', but without success.

Many thanks.[confused]

I have kindly been sent a large GEDCOM file of my relations in the Netherlands and will be merging it with mine. I want to give credit to the person in the Netherlands who has done all the work on that side of the family - can I set up a 'Default Source' or suchlike so that when it merges with mine ...

I have imported a gedcom file from the web which has distant relations of mine in it - I have not yet merged it with my own gedcom file. Virtually all of the individuals in the downloaded gedcom file appear to be duplicated within it! Is there any way I can sensibly remove these duplicated individua...

In the past I have input individual surnames as they appear on birth/marriage/death certificates. However as I have so many different spellings of the surname (MacGillivray - there appear to be over 50 variants of spelling!), is there a way to change all variants to one common surname, without renam...

Thank you Jane - I will turn off notification and then turn it on again.

I have a new email address, and have changed the details in my profile, but notifications of new threads still go to my old email address - how can I ensure notifications go to my new address please?

I have clicked the link to http://www.bakery.co.uk/fh/Gedcom_Census_1.exe
in the census entry utility article, and the site I get taken to is a Bakers site, with no mention of FH !!
Is the link wrong, or am I being daft?

Thank you Jane - I have downloaded the files as per your instructions, and the two I have tested work wonderfully - long may you continue to help us idiots!

Regards.

Thank you Jane, a downloadable version would be much appreciated. Would it also be possible for the other links to be made downloadable as well at the same time, or would this involve too much hassle?

Regards, Alasdair.

I know I am being stupid, but is there any way of downloading our esteemed Jane Taubman's link 'Entering information from a birth certificate' to my hard drive, so that I do not have to run only online?
I think it is a superb demonstration, and would like to refer to it often.[oops]

I have obtained a wealth of information on my family history/tree from a now deceased relative. I think some of the dates and names etc. are correct, but know some of them not to be. If I enter all the details, is there any way I can 'mark' the info. I have not yet been able to verify independently,...

Having stated boldly that I will use date format dd-mmm-yyyy to avoid confusion with US date formats etc., I cannot see how to get dd-mmm-yyyy format! Any instructions gratefully received![oops]

Thank you Jane - I take the point about date format and Americans being confused! I will therefore use date format dd/mmm/yyyy to avoid any possible confusion.

I am trying to find a list of all codes for text schemes in a diagram, but cannot find one. Specifically I want my diagram to show full names, dates of birth, marriage and death (where applicable) in format dd/mm/yyyy.
Any help greatly appreciated! Thx.
