Yes, Freebmd has a facility to specify either the age or date of birth. Details on:

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/search-help.shtml

It will only work for births after 1st Jan 1866 when the age at death was included in the indexes.

Just a thought but are you using CD that can only be written to once? That would explain why you can't save the changes.

If that is the case then perhaps you should save the web site to your hard disk, then edit it and only write it to CD when you have made all the changes you want.

Gerry

Jane,

Many thanks for that.

Gerry

Is it possible, please, to create a diagram format (is that the correct term?) that autosizes the boxes so that there is no word wrap?

For what its worth, I add a flag to everyone for whom I have a Birth/Marriage/Death Certificate or a copy of a baptism/marriage/burial entry in a parish register. I have added a condition in the Boxes tab of the Diagram Options so that these flags display and it very quickly shows which certificates...

I have sent numerous corrections to FreeBMD and have always had a courteous reply. Don’t forget that all the people involved are volunteers. Although the search on FreeBMD is currently slow (because of its popularity) the presentation of results is clear and its free! Also, I notice that the databas...

Thanks, Jane. I'll do that for now.

It would be useful if I could input 'Full Age' or Minor' against the husband and wife in a marriage entry when entering details from a Marriage Certificate where the actual ages are not given. When I tried to do it using Add Husband's Age etc FH would not accept my entry - unless there is another wa...

Thanks Nick & Jan.

It is good to get such a quick and comprehensive reply.

I have downloaded the latest version of Gedcom Census and very good it is too - thank you Nick for your continuing work to improve this great piece of software. Just two small points - when I click the save button, 2 messages flash up on the screen very quickly - too quickly for my aging eyes to rea...

Thanks Jane. I did have a quick look though the wish list but couldn't see anything.

Gerry

Is there a way to increase (or decrease) the font size or to change to displayed font in the Properties Dialog?

Many thanks for all your suggestions. I am sure that Tinker is correct.

Best wishes,

Thanks for the link. I should have mentioned that the person is male and in the Chatham Workhouse. There doesn't seem to be anything on the same page that helps identify the first letter but I could look at the pages before and after to see if they can help.

I am hoping that someone might be able tell me what the occupation is on the last line of the entry under 'Rank, Profession or Occupation'. The two entries above it are 'General Servant' and 'Cook'. (The ennumerator wrote a stroke that looks like an 's' at the end of words.) http://www.fhug.org.uk/i...

If you save it as an Excel Template you don't have to make it read only and it will always be available.
