Do you mean that you have saved all your images, information etc. to a tree on Ancestry and now wish to move it away from there?

If so, I'm sorry, I can't help but maybe someone else will be able to if they know what you are trying to do.

I was on the point of asking the same question, but I think you phrased it better.

Would you please let us know if you follow Peter's advice and what the outcome is. It seems a bit daunting to me. Will you be the guinea pig?

I have found the Ancestors & Descendants Diagram showing the siblings very useful when searching for Census entries.  It's often possible to identify people any siblings they are living with. If you want to print a diagram showing just ancestors & descendants you can hide the siblings you don't want...

Tom mentioned that he wanted to add images to these records.

Using Patrick's method, how do you attach images for separate events?

That's what I do too, Tom.

All I need now is a reminder to look at my 'To Do List'!!

Regards,

maggie

Grandma,

There's a thread here http://tinyurl.com/yzx5qjj which explains how to do it.  It's not as tricky as it first seems - I've done it so it must be easy!!

The most important thing to remember is to BACKUP your GEDCOM before you start - just in case anything goes wrong.

In the 'Named List' panel there is already a 'To Do' list - if not, you can add one. You could add one or both of the parents from the 1911 census to the list and put a note on the field at the bottom about what you wish to research. Alternatively you could create a 'To Do flag which you could add t...

Thanks. Can't see how I missed that....

Probably because it's in a stupid place and not intuitive!!

To my mind the natural thing to do is to select the boxes and right click and select the option you want from there - but that's not the way it works here.

Thank you both for your replies. You both confirmed what I was thinking about doing: saving each page as a media item and then linking them all to a source e.g. Military Record 234 BLOGGS Joe 1914-18. I will then treat that source as any other as Brian says, but birth certificates etc. usually just ...

I haven't got access to my certificates at the moment so I can't measure one.

However foolscap paper measures 8.5 × 13.5 inches (216 × 343 mm)if that's any help.

I have found various Military records (e.g. WW1 Service Records, WW1 Pension Records).   I've 'saved' them in Ancestry at the moment because I don't know what's best to do with them as far as FH is concerned. Do I save each image separately and add them to a source for the relevant person. Or do I s...

I seem to remember having a similar problem myself.   I think I ended up just 'hiding' the empty box on the diagram as I couldn't find any other way of getting rid of it. (Right click on the empty box and select 'Hide' - apologies if you knew this, but others maybe don't.) I will be interested to se...

Chris Bowyer said: There's also a button below the Facts list called 'List in Order'. I've no real idea of what it's supposed to be for, but you don't get the move up/down arrows enabled unless you press it. Thank you for that. I've often wondered how to activate the up/down arrows & now I know. Re...

sorry I can't help as it works fine for me both ways.

I'm using FH v4 on Windows XP.

Maybe I'm missing the point here, but don't you just need to either: a) change the order of the source citations in the individual's Property Box, using the up and down arrows or b)click Re-order-out-of-Sequence-Data on the Tools Menu Would this not put the Census information in the right order in t...

Nick,

Thank you for the link to the thread - very useful.

I had done a forum search for 'disability' but it hadn't occurred to me to search for 'Blind'.

maggie

In several Census records I have found people with a disability such as blindness.

Where is best to record this information for the individuals concerned?

Jane, It was me being stupid. When I looked at the list page I could see no way of voting. It wasn't until I ran my cursor over the titles that I realised that you could click on those and go to a voting page.  I think I was looking for somewhere on the list page that said 'Vote Here'. Regards, maggie

Jane,

That's when you've clicked on an item to vote for.

Some of us (or maybe only me) got stuck on the list page.

Regards,

maggie

I'm not clever - I think I asked about this same problem before and being put right by other forum members. The amazing thing is that I eventually remembered the answer (a...

I'm obviously missing something here - clicked on one that I want to vote for - but found no drop down to use.  ????

Did you log in first?

I spent ages trying to find some way of voting and then realised I hadn't logged in.
