David Have a look at the "evidence explained" quick lesson 17 on web site https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/quicklesson-17-evidence-analysis-process-map . It expands the evidence-analysis-process grid in the front of the actual book and is particularly relevant to your point 4. I find the bo...

Elizabeth Shown Mills in "Evidence Explained" says on page 58 "a web site is not a repository" ... She does see it as an important element in the citation. The issue is how to reconcile the fields in FHn (or any other database structure) with getting the information that we have found recorded consi...

If you are keeping the old computer as a back up - then rather than formally migrating why not see if you can save the relevant things relating to FHn to a usb to put onto the new computer.. that would include the gedcom file plus the .fhq and other things for customised diagrams etc. (I am not on W...

Me too - great stuff ... and just cos hadn't logged in does not mean not visited... my thanks too Jane

If you want to record full census information(and other documents too) have a look at 'Custodian' [www.custodian3.co.uk - also available elsewhere]. I use it for keeping track of info from all sorts of sources (using its dedicated datasets) and cross reference to FH for those who are directly releva...

Also replied - new ways of doing things and I liked the timeline idea ....

I have a custom event for this but would be very glad to have it in the status field - seems to me this is more common than we might think ....

Just seen that findmypast is going to be offering 1911 as part of their subscription and people already on findmypast will be offered a discounted rate if they renew I think in October... Now all I want is to be able to use my findmypast sub for scotlands people........

Never forget that ultimately Ancestry is a commercial organisation - they do not have an interest in accuracy per se (and witness some of the appalling transcription errors) but getting paid.  I pulled my tree but it has not stopped someone else I have been in touch with leaving, despite my request ...

I find this difficult too as in the past I have pointed out after a general exchange that I have differing information - and serious researchers are happy to discuss but I fear many who are not so rigorous are not prepared to have their information queried so on the whole I have now given up saying ...

Er what does 'recompiling' mean -idiots guide for us non techies would be handy if possible - pretty please?  Or is it in the knowledge base already?

Think the launch has been delayed to March - from the rootsweb forum for FH where I am sure I have seen Simon apologising for this... but then something good is best waited for

And the repair themselves - wish my lights did that [grin]... thanks Jane

Birth name and then note any others using alternate name - in other words I treat it as I do female names that change throughout their lives!

Or see if a local printer will print a large pdf version off a memory stick? If you have any architectural practice friends they may have a plotter they are willing to print out on for a smallish cost?

Surely if the retailers have knowledge of an update they will want to resell their current stock (assumimg they hold it) so they will want to sell V3 asap, as boxes could become almost unsellable after the announcement of a new version, though Calico Pie has indicated that for those who bought after...

Live up to expectation - still be no 1 - well of course it will (have you looked at the competitors....)!!!!!

Gedcom Census is very good as it makes one consistent in how one enters the information. Decide how you are going to use the sources when you set it up - have a play. Diagrams can be saved as jpg and other formats from within the programme. FH did not win the best FamHist programme award for nothing...

Just a quickie to say did get an email yesterday saying a cert was being issued and it arrived today... now for the next order....... no comment though on the means of being in touch!

This is the first time there has been a failure to deliver in one way or another as I've normally found the GRO good (other than when WDYTYA is in full flight!) - usually certs come within four days - but on this occasion nothing and the hassle of chasing it not user friendly which was my point (LOL...

And don't forget too that Baptisms were sometimes done in job lots - two or three children (or more!) of a family, all at one time and various ages.... my latest is just over a year after a birth... and I have to check if the younger sister was done at the same time

I have a report that prints out the names - get to as follows:- Reports:  miscellaneous reports: Individuals_List_Report .... when the screen comes up click on the double chevrons to get everyone (and if you want them by surname then make sure the individuals list is in surname order) and you will g...

Well that was interesting - I sent an order for seven certs and received five plus a refund for another - waited...  then using the email on the covernote for the certs I received, sent an email - but oh no last April they changed the system - I looked at the faqs on the site- to which they had poin...

I use the system of putting a 'before' date in the birth/death if I only have the christening/burial, using the known date as the base... Not sure how else, in principle, to do it other than leaving the birth/death fact blank, and as the tree gets larger that becomes awkward in determining which Geo...

And the civilians who died too - remembering Rachel Lord and her three children who died in 1940 from 'enemy action'
