Thanks David, this has worked. I did notice that under the customize property box more tab tasks there was a delete option, could I use this instead of hiding it? Didn't want to try this in case something awful happened as I haven't backed up for a while!

I've downloaded the Fact Set Military History for Property Box Tab and Wills and decided that I didn't need it after all. After following the instructions to delete the fact sets the tabs are still showing in the property boxes but a lot of the labels are missing, I'm just left with one or two that ...

Thanks Jim, I've recently had an email with a "dodgy link" I just deleted it, I was also unsubscribed form the list. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon

Thanks Colin, I'll have a look for this book. Think I may need it

Thanks to all who replied to my post. If a claim was made you can also find details of that, too. How would I get details of a claim? There are some Endorsement Books held at LMA MS12160/39 1787-1792 Is it these I should be looking at, and what could I expect to find in these records? Sun Fire Insur...

Anyone ever looked at the above? I have an ancestor who appeared in these registers for the year 1790. When I looked at his record in the London Metropolitan Archives underneath was a note saying it was indorsed to one Thomas Bennett of Grays Inn Gent as Mortgagee of indenture. I don't know what thi...

Just wondered what would be the best way to tackle the above? I would like to show this as a fact and attach the image as a source. My ancestor was admitted and discharged quite often so I have several scanned images with different dates. Thanks in advance, Jane.

I have a death certificate of a married lady and it states she was a widow, and gives her husband's name. I would like to show this as a source linked to her husband, how would I go about this please? I don't have her husbands date of death. Many thanks

I was using FH version 4 up until recently, took the plunge and purchased the upgrade to Version 6 and I think for me, it has been well worth it. I find using the automatic source pane easier (after a little help from this forum!) and the search for individuals is brilliant. I had no problems instal...

I have been happily putting on Death certificate sources over the past few days or so, and just wondered if it was the norm not to have any source citations attached to the timeline facts? I've been adding the sources and citations to the facts (white background) and by mistake I noticed I also had ...

Thanks Lorna, I see now where I was going wrong. So much easier when you know how! I wasn't Using the correct icon pasting into the source pane.

Well, after my last post regarding my confusion with source records and the timeline facts :lol: I have had another go This is what steps I have taken so far to add the death certificate of a child with a citation to the father in my file. Clicked on the yellow source pane at the top of the screen a...

I'm slowly getting to find my way around version six, but one thing puzzles me and that is when I see the fact 'marriage of Catherine Bloggs' in the property box of the father and I add a citation to it I don't get the asterisk next to the source record.

Thanks in advance
Jane

Ignore my last post as by having a play around with it I found the media window. Thanks Mike

Thanks Mike, I see now where I was going wrong, I thought the yellow Source Title was a shortcut for adding a new source :D So to create a new source I would go to the add menu and select source or go to the records window tab and create from there. I can see how to create a new source from the yell...

Have recently upgraded from version 4 to 6 and trying to find my away around the sources. I'm at a loss as to why I keep losing my text from the source box. I'm clicking on the automatic source citation pane marked in yellow at the top of the screen, and filling in the text from source and the asses...

Sorted, all downloaded. Virus Checker was stopping it. Looks good. Many Thanks

Trying to download the latest version, don't get very far as my anti-virus checker deletes it.

Thanks Nick, found a couple to try. Just thought it would be nice to just read up about AS whilst relaxing on the sofa!

I am thinking of buying an android tablet, never had one before and I'm rather hoping that it would be possible to install AS help files on it?

Hi Lorna, The grave location is part of a custom fact set I downloaded from the forum. I like your idea of linking the photo to the death and burial fact. So I'll do that instead.
Many thanks
Jane

I have a couple of gravestone photographs with inscriptions to input onto Family Historian. When I looked at the fact set there is a grave location attribute. Would I use this as a source with a multimedia attached? The other option I know of is to put it in that persons property box and use the mul...

I have family historian from version 2. The upgraded cd to version 3, then with downloads for upgrading up to 4.1. My question is will I be able to buy an upgrade to version 6 or will I have to purchase the full CD?

Hello everyone. I'm trying to add a four page will as a source to one of my ancestors, would it be ok to save it as a PDF file as I've scanned it in one page at a time and my scanner can save it as one complete file but the only thing I see is a pdf image which I then have to click on to view the do...

I have a household who are split over two pages of census images. How do I Iink both images to the same template? Thanks in advance. Jane
