Thanks Mike, Your previous posting answered my Q1 perfectly. This could potentially also resolve my Q2, By adding the Custom Id on the Main (Generic) tap, it would work exactly as on the generic Source template, but this would prohibit me from adding the field it to the Record Title Format (as far a...

Hi JoopvB,

Really nice plugin. I don't suppose you could be tempted to make a verion 2 which also enables removal of any custom template, i.e. change to Generic Source template?

Hi, I'm working on a a customer Source Template Definition, and i understand all the basics, but i have three questions that i can't find an answer to: 1) I started out using the Generic Source template for Citations, and over time a have build a list of Generic Source Types. How can i define a fiel...

It most certainly does exactly what I want. Thanks a lot Lorna.

Hi,
I'm having a hard time making a custom query that can list all sources linked to a particular individual.

Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Erik

Thanks Mike, very useful plug-in. It significantly reduced my Notes list!!

Hello ColeValleyGirl

Thanks for your quick reply and answer to my question - and the link to the Knowledge Base.

Hello, A newbie question. I've migrated to FH from Legacy Family Tree and there Notes are an attribute of an Individual and not an independent entity that can be linked to. In Legacy I've made quite a lot of Research Notes like "Verify his birth in Church Records". As these notes in Legacy are an at...

Thank you, Jane and David, for your very detailed and comprehensive explanations. I now know what to consider when making my choices on what to register where. I’ll experiment with the different fact and record types and work out what suits me best.

Sorry Tate, I must be absolutely stupid. I shall not borther you again.

I’ve been doing genealogy for about twenty years. In the beginning, when records became available online there were some instability, but at least for the last five years or so, I haven’t observed any changing URL’s for existing records. Of course, I do agree with you that private copies of all reco...

I see your point regarding the splitter approach with census, and any other sources pertain to more then one individual. I'm not sure how this is handled in the UK or US, but in DK all public records (church record, census, probates, deeds, land records, etc.) are all managed and digitized by the Da...

I agree, both approaches can come into play, depending on the situation. In regards to Census records, my idea at the moment is to define a 'lumper' source representing the entire census for location in question. I'm Danish national, and our census are organised as County | Shire | Parish, so the Ti...

Ah .. thanks Brent

Thanks all for you answers Mike, Adrian and Ron. It was all very helpful. I can't say I'm completely decided on wich approach I'll take, but at least I now know the pros & cons with the two principal approaches, i.e. 'splitter' and 'lumper'. The Ancestral Sources plugin also sounds useful. Unfortuna...

Hello, I'm working with a trail version of FH 6 (until now I've been using Legacy Family Tree). In general I really like FH compared to LFT. FH is mush more intuitive and supports my workflows much better, i.e. quicker and easier to work with. However, I struggeling a bit with Sources, and find i ha...

Hi Jane,

Thanks for your answer. The lack of Unicode support is rather disappointing and unexpected of a upcoming and awarded product like FH, and effectively blocks its use in most of the world, i.e. outside native English speaking countries. But that your choise ....

Hi,

I'm evaluation FH 3.1 and started by importing a gedcom file, but all non-English characters are transalated into garbage charaters.

Thanks
