Have a look at http://www.bordersfhs.org.uk/castleton.asp

There is a map on there. There is a place called Skelfhill on the map

Have a closer look and you may find what you are looking for

Do you always put the place field in the address in addition to the place field. Leave the place out of the address field. There is no need for that. I haven't done any maps in FH. I have looked at locations for other things and simply write the full address in my search browser (which ever type you...

For England have a look at

That will give you names of places in each county

Victor

County boundary changes were made in 1974 when these became known as administration counties. On top of this some places which were in one county has been moved to another county when the administration county was started. Since 1974 some of these administration counties have also been changed with ...

Thanks for this information Mike
Sorry for taking so long to response have been busy
Now I will have to clear a back log of notifications

Victor

Thanks Mike

I have thought about doing that but then wondered if I did so will I lose all the winzip files I have had over the years (not just FH)
That is why I hesitate about uninstalling it even though I am unable to open any because I have ceased subscribing to winzip.

Victor

Thanks Lorna
I will give that a go. What I have been doing is prompting the item from my file folder where it is saved.

When I save FH it always ends with the Winzip ikon hence my thinking it is winzip

Victor

Mike

I am a bit surprised at your comment.
Every time I back up FH it goes straight to Winzip (this has always been the case since the first FH) and I have never been able to open it because I don't subscribe to it

I will have a look at Knowledge base

As users of FH know back ups always end up in Winzip I have had Winzip since it first started all those years ago. Nowadays it is an annual charge and appears to be organised by 2 different companies. I discovered that when I realised I had paid 2 fees a few months apart. I have since ceased using W...

Thanks Lorna

Sorted. Now I don't have to go to
Tools
Work with Data
Places
and can do things more direct
but will use the tools route to combine the same places if there is more than one

Victor

Tried to get what you have shown.

There is no ... at the end of the row

Mike I have had problems wit this edit button. I have the latest FH but in earlier versions the edit button worked fine. It doesn't now FH .png I don't see a heading saying 'change place name' I found one way round the problem was to put the correct place name on someone else's name then merge to th...

Thanks for the clarification.

I don't use Linux so didn't take much note of what was said

Victor

I have heard that Linux is being taken over by Microsoft. I don't know the latest on this

Have you ever considered running a course for those unable to hear? For this you will need a speech to text reporter.
Only problem is knowing if there is a demand for this and who will pay for the reporter

Victor

Strange

I downloaded it again from the same hot link you provided and it installed without any questions.

Victor

Sadly the excellent Hugh Wallis site is not as it used to be due to the LDS changing things. I used to download details directly onto the software which converted the details to an Excel sheet. This was no longer possible. Well it was no longer possible years ago when I found things didn't work anym...

I downloaded directly by the link you provided. The message appeared when I tried to install it

I have just checked Snail Driver and downloaded it but got a warning message telling me 'this type of file can harm you computer' it then asked if I want to keep it or delete it.

Should one ignore the warning?

Victor

If you have entered census data before using AS just use AS and when you work that way it will tell you there is a census record on your FH and asks if you want to replace it. You can check if both are the same person and say yes to replacing what you had added before. So there is no need to go thro...

I have just had a look at the Knowledge base for One Drive. This states that the max load is 10GB. A message popped up on my PC the other day telling me the max is 2GB! I have no idea why this popped up as my previous uploads were 10Gb. My latest back up exceeded this so I moved if off One Drive Vic...

Following comments here I decided to combine 10 pages into one. Each page was about half an A4 size. In other words 5 x A4 size pages. I added them below each other and they all worked splendidly. I have Corel Paint shop Pro 9. I have been using this for years and had just upgraded it to the latest ...

I haven't used the map place. What I do is put the address i my search browser and it will take you to where the location is. I discovered this by accident when I prompted a contact address on my mobile and it went straight to the address. Since then I have simply put an address on my browser and it...

Yes windows screen capture does as you say but it captures the whole screen and you have to edit it to what you want in FH Snap My Screen capture just part of the area on your screen which you can either prompt copy or save in a folder. I ormally prompt copy then go to FH and copy and paste it ther ...

I use snap my screen to copy an area from the web site. I then paste this in FH using the copy and paste in the Project folder. It is simple and straightforward. I have mentioned this in another thread. Alternatively I can paste the copy into my photo software, enhance it. Copy it again and paste it...
