Please! Can anyone tell me if this site is still active or if I have an access problem?

Sometimes I have to have several tries before I can sign on.  Maybe if you leave it for a while and try again you may be more successful.

If not, apply for another trial.

For instance if I have a number of articles from the Idaho Times, I create a repository for it, storing the home page URL in the website field. I create a source for each article I use, naming it ...

....a photographer by day, an undercover secret agent by night- now that would be good!!!)

Sounds a lot more exciting that organising an election campaign.

Do let us know what you find out.

Nick Walker said: In Jan's option d you would link the image to each citation. Personally I find this a bit messy as rather than just linking an image to a single place (the source) you need to link it to every citation that refers to the article. Another problem with option d is how, for example, ...

Paula, My understanding is that a political agent is someone who works for an MP or would-be MP and (amongst other thing) organises his/her election campaign. Was there a general or Local election around the time of his death, when he may have been devoting much of his time to political activities. ...

Thanks to the link in the Newspapers Online Trial thread I have now come across a selection of articles relating to various relatives (mostly on my husband's side - my Ag labs don't seem to have made it to print). I am looking for some advice as how best to link the images of these articles to the p...

I would like to create some family trees for my Greek friends, using the Greek alphabet. (I have an English/Greek keyboard and can type in Greek in Word). I understand that FH only supports English. Can anyone suggest any other software which would support using the Greek alphabet.  It doesn't have ...

What was the mother's maiden name?

(Sorry, if you've already written it in one of you earlier posts, but it's getting very late and my brain's not functioning well.)

In my researches I have come across various 'odd' first names which have turned out to be mother's or grandmother's maiden name. Could this be the case here?

On http://www.findmypast.com you can search by address or person. The address search is available for the 1841, 1861, 1871 and 1891 censuses. It doesn't, of course, help if the street has been renamed. margarita P.S. Just realised that you want 1881 census so this doesn't help - but it may help othe...

Me too, please.

I have used the current version a lot.  I find it very useful for sorting out peculiar place names which appear on Census records.

Nick,

I would like to try it out.  I am using the current version and think it's great.

I don't think I have many census entries to make but I am sure that I can round up some strays.

Maggie

Thanks, Nick.

I didn't think to look there!!

Is there any way on this Forum of finding all the post made made by me, or, indeed, any other member? Someone asked a question to which I know I had written the answer in response to another query.   Maybe it's just my post-Christmas brain not working, but I couldn't find this previous posting witho...

Go to the Objects tab of the Property Dialogue for the person concerned. Immediately underneath the list of objects is a row of icons. Click the icon on the right - this will open a menu where you can opt to exclude the photo from Diagrams and/or Reports. Repeat this for each person concerned. marga...

Hi, Questionmark,

You may like to look at this previous thread about baptism / christening

It contains links to other threads which may answer your questions.

Click on the 'Objects' tab of the Properties Box for the person in question. Click the right-hand icon under the list of objects.  This opens a menu where you can opt to exclude the object from diagrams and/or reports. It took me a long time to find it when I wanted it - it's not very obvious. marag...

With regard to 'Laster / Knoter' - as father is a Boot Maker, could this be something to do with making shoe-lasts? Just a thought.

Have no ideas about the other one.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the replies.  I will follow up the suggestions.

Does any one know if British military personnel were recorded in a census if they were serving abroad at the time? My Grandfather was in the Army in 1891 - I don't know if he was overseas at the time.  I can find no record of him in the UK in the 1891 Census - any suggestions of where to look would ...

Nick, I have recorded several Censuses using Gedcom Census (5.4)and it's excellent. I used the previous versions as well but this is even better. I wish I had read your advice about automatic naming of images about 100 Censuses ago. I have started using your system now and it's much quicker to do an...
