Many thanks, Mike,

I used the plugin as you suggested and it worked perfectly.

Unfortunately, it took me a while to see your reply - stupid seasonal bugs etc.

Thanks again,

Susan

Throughout all the decades I have been gathering my data I have always used the place data as Town/Village, County or town/village, County, Country if outside of England. I have now come to the conclusion that it will be much easier managing the data if I was to include England into all the English ...

I finally managed to fix this, I used a different browser and it worked fine, so I went back to Chrome and cleared my browser history and cookies and the problem was gone, strange but there we go!

I have been using these recently with great success however I have tried several times at the beginning of the day and again this evening after work and run in to problems. I have chosen for the hints to lead in an external website rather than with the software however as soon as I open the hint to ...

Hi Terry, I'm assuming when you say you changed it in the focus window are you taking about changing it in the side bar as you can't actually type onto the focus window. Once you had changed the name did you then click out of the box as this is the point that you will see the update made in the focu...

I have to agree with this one. I already subscribe to Ancestry and Find My Past already so can't afford to add My Heritage in to the mix. Family search would however be great for a smart match option as it is free, I currently have this smart match option turned off and keep feeling I am missing out.

I have been searching through the historical posts and forgive me if I have missed an answer to this already but I have been working with my place names and addresses doing a bit if housekeeping and have come across situations where a parish is in different registration districts at different times ...

As suggested I used the census entry with one of the other census years and as usual I had all the pop ups asking if I wish to make the changes. I have opened and closed AS independently of FH as suggested by Brian but unfortunately this didn't resolve anything. However I cracked it with option 4 on...

I have followed the instructions above and imported the 1939 template, I'm not sure what I may have done wrong but all the elements seem to be working as with the other census years and the correct census style facts are being entered into Family Historian however where information such as date of b...

Hi, Firstly I would like to say thank you so much for Ancestral Sources it is a fantastic tool for powerhouse entering of data. As with all fantastic resources you get that if only feeling sometimes... Currently when I add the clergy field to the marriage (or baptism/burial) entry the data is saved ...

Hi Mike,

Do you know exactly the route of that folder as I have searched in the AS folder and found no gedcom in it, unless it was removed by the crash....

Thanks

I thought I would just post a message on here so everyone can learn from my experience. I save my tree every time I make an alteration and have done weekly backups (I know I will be doing this daily now...) However I was entering a census via Ancestral Sources and for some reason it produced an exce...

Many thanks for taking a while to reply Mike but this has sorted it out perfectly. I was indeed unaware of the extra link.

You're a star

I hope I am not being blind and missing the obvious but.... when you add an alternative name to the more+ box I can't seem to find where to source this information. For instance if a person turns out to have two Christian names and one is used in most census and the other is suddenly used in one odd...

Hi I have an unusual entry and I'm unsure what it means. In a persons Individual Facts I have an entry stating adoption with the year and a note that she was adopted by her (birth) uncle's family. I have her linked to both her birth mother and adopted parents. The plug in is showing her record as an...

I have been trying to set up a simple query as follows: Add if %INDI.BIRT[1].DATE% was later than 1837 Exclude if %INDI.BIRT[1].DATE% was later than 1915 Add if %INDI.BIRT[1].SOUR[1]>% is null So in theory anyone born after 1837 but before 1915 without a source for their birth should show however wh...

Apologies if this already exists and I can't find it for looking but - I really love the look up census facts plug in and wondered if there was something similar for BMD events using Ancestry or similar.

Thanks
Susan

Many thanks Jane, it worked just as expected, I have only had chance to try it out on one birth so far I will let you know if anything unexpected happens but this is great thanks

Many thanks Jane. Looking forward to it.

Susan

I use this plug in pretty much daily (thanks Jane Taubman [smile]) but with each entry I then go to the source to add in secondary source and today's date I was wondering how complicated it may be to edit the plug in to automatically do this for me as when I am on a roll and find lots of info at onc...

This is just a question of curiosity really. I am aware that some people prefer to do a minimal paternal linear research whilst others like me tend to fan out in all directions. My question is how far do people tend to branch away from people that are related to them. I have lots of family in Cornwa...

I have watched Jane's You Tube video showing how to do this and have now set up the main viewing panel in the colours of my choice and also the source and spouse tabs of the property box for some reason though I can't seem to find a control anywhere to alter the top section of the control panel so I...

I have recently started working through various parts of the knowledge database and have worked through creating a location database. Which is all complete until I get to actually making the location database report in the final report and website section. My current query though is when I go to wor...

By looking at the copied expression I managed to sort it out, I had an extra space between the speech mark and the word birth and the same with the others. It's amazing what trouble a little bit of nothing can cause [lol]
Problem solved [smile]

Here is the expression: =GetLabelledText(%FACT.NOTE2%,' Birth:') The others are identical just swap the word Birth: for the other events. It looks exactly like it should unless I am missing something. More than likely one of those obvious little things but I'm blowed if I can think of what it may be...
