The GEDCOM 5.5 Standard definition: CAUSE_OF_EVENT: = {Size=1:90} Used in special cases to record the reasons which precipitated an event. Normally this will be used subordinate to a death event to show cause of death, such as might be listed on a death certificate. It is valid for any Event , but n...

The definition in the GEDCOM 5.5 Standard is quite unambiguous:

ENTRY_RECORDING_DATE: = {Size=1:90}
<DATE_VALUE>
The date that this event data was entered into the original source document.

There is a lot of information and advice via this link: glossary:places|> Places and Addresses.

Same here!

This is the earlier thread from October 2019: GEDCOM 5.5.5! (17121)
Nothing has changed since then.

I was able to download that video (in four different formats, including mp4) using WinX YouTube Downloader.

If you search FH Help for "dots", one of the Topics is the (relevant) "Property Box: Facts tab" which includes:

blue dots for Individual records and red dots for Family records

I find I can solve all such problems by using the free IrfanView; it can rotate images, either singly or as a batch, and can optionally correct the EXIF data.

And I never have any problems running FH v6.2.7 with AVG AntiVirus Free on Windows 10 Pro version 2004. And my AVG has no exceptions for FH at all.

This is a GEDCOM limitation. The standard allows only a single line of up to 248 characters: SOURCE_CITATION: = [ n SOUR @<XREF:SOUR>@ /* pointer to source record */ {1:1} +1 PAGE <WHERE_WITHIN_SOURCE> {0: 1 } … WHERE_WITHIN_SOURCE: = {Size=1: 248 } Specific location with in the information referenc...

I've just checked my version of Ancestral Sources and it was v5.2.0 ; the Help menu Check for Updates… gave 'You already have the latest version of Ancestral Sources.' I've now used the link in the Knowledge Base to update to v5.3.0 . I've had a quick look for a post in FHUG about the update to v5.3...

The only way to cycle through the thee buttons seems to be to use the Tab key, or Shift+Tab to go the other way (not necessarily the way you expect, though!).

You can link media to any Source that is linked to the Note Record, but not to the Note Record itself.

Have you already seen how_to:creating_a_query|> Creating a Query?

The Preferences dialogue for the Focus Window (accessible via Customize View… ) has Max. Ancestor Generations (space permitting): but if you try to enter a value greater than 5 an error box tells you to “Enter an integer between 2 and 5.” Earlier versions of FH did not have the Focus Window, and man...

It may not be PC on this forum, but I dont want my source images or family photos located within fh as no one else in the family owns fh software.

Storing images and family photos in folders within the FH Media folder would not prevent access by a user without FH software.

There is some information here: how_to:recording_grandchildren#recording_grandchildren|> Recording Grandchildren

I don't know whether this will help, but like Jane, I too am a " Lumper " for GRO Indexes (and similar) with one Source record in FH for each Index. And I too am a " Splitter " for certificates and censuses, with one Source record in FH for each Certificate and for each Census Household, and with an...

There is some help in how_to:v4:adding_multimedia#photo_orientation|> Photo Orientation.

I was able to load the file OK; it took several minutes and generated a massive exception report, but no error messages. FH Focus Window at bottom right has: Individuals: 879234 Families: 305277. My 9-year-old laptop has 6 GB RAM and I recently upgraded (free) from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

There are also left and right arrow-heads beside the Page no. at top right, which may be more useful than the right-hand scroll-bar.

If you click on the button with four arrows, labelled Enable Moving/Resizing, the Movement Control Box will appear.
