I add the gravestone image under burial fact
Victor

I add the census image via AS.
The census tab itself lists the census but not the image.
If you go to a person where the census details has been added. Use the facts tab and that will list the4 census of the person that has been added from here you prompt the census image.

I haven't worked on census tab What I do is save the census image in a file. I have a folder in FH Projects called family information. In this folder are loads of sub folders with surnames including census and BMD certificates. Using AS I add the appropriate image to the person I am adding details t...

When I do a narrative report I save it in RTF then save it again as a word document. From the second save I edit it in the way I would like it to be. Most of the editing is to enlage the images like making census image a full page

I export mine to FTM and sychonise the names with Ancestery. A green lef appears next to all names indicating sources on Ancestry. I prompt the green flag and a list os sources appear I prompt details on the list which leads my to Ancestry where I find what I am looking for. When on Ancestry a new l...

As others have said I don't save indexes.
Ancestry sometime lists the BMD reference details of a person and I save that detail by taking a screen shot (year Quarter Vol and Page No) and copying it to the person it refers to. I find this better than using the tool bar

Sorry Mike I didn't make myself clear I haven't had any name errors. If I did I wouldn't worry about them.
I only import things to FTM to provide connections to Ancestry. If any name errors appeared on FTM I would just ignore them as FH is my default tree and I only work on that

Victor

Mike
Fortunately for me I don't have any junk data

Victor

Personally I am not bothered by name errors when I copy my details to FTM. To me FH is my default tree and I work on that all the time. I use FTM to provide links to Ancestry

Whenever you use a place name make sure it is fully correct including the county name. One problem some places were moved from one county to another when the county boundaries were changed in (I think) 1974. You will have to decide whether to use the old county name or the new one. You can keep the ...

Bear in mind there are similar place names in different parts of the country. As an example there Is Cottingham, East Yorkshire and Cottingham, Northamptonshire. Another example is Scalby, North Yorksire (near Scarborough) and Scalby, East Yorkshire near Gilberdyke

I have downloaded one image. This was of my father and his first family. In previous census they all started with the reference RG11, RG12 etc followed by poice number, Folio and Page number. The 1921 census does not have any of these so it makes it hard to save them for identification. All I can fi...

If you use Ancestral Sources the census dates are automatically shown
Victor

I tend to put names as long as there is a link to them even if not directly related tome. FTM does a good description of names linking to me and example is 'uncle of wife of grand nephew of wife of 1st cousin twice times removed of Victor' It is not doing an harm to the tree and wont show on narrati...

Sorry about that. I said GRO source plug in which is not via AS but direct filling in of details. The plug in states 'add GRO Source' which I prompt

Victor

If I don't have a BMD certificate I use the plug in 'GRO Source' which works fine for me

Victor

Ignore my last message.
Just did a check and found the census and BMD have appeared.
I did nothing since my last posting.
I wonder why Could it be Win 11 was still upodating things?
Sorry to have wasted your time and thanks for looking into it
Victor

This my option set up. Just like your posting. This doesn't include census images. I have increased the max number of images to see if any are shown.
Perhaps I should open a previous back up and see if I get the images in the narrative report.

Thanks for your reply Mike Here is another image. For the 1881 census As shown here the arrow used to be blue. This time it is grey. I prompt the blue picture near the red cross. This opens to what was shown in my previous message for edit. In days gone by I never had to do this and the image was co...

In the past I have done a lot of narrative reports. These reports included an image from say census or BMD certificate. But lately these don't appear in the reports. Photo of people do. The attachment shows greyed out areas of 3 options one can chose. Has anyone come across this problem? I have chec...

Sorry correction I should have said download.
Now 8% Guess I better leave things as they are do nothing go for a long walk and hope the figure will be higher but I doubt is as my computer goes to 'sleep' when no activity is taking place. I guess when in sleep mode the downloading stops

Victor

My PC is currently being upgradedto Windows 11. It is very slow after about an hour it states the upgrade is 7%

As anyone had a faster upgrade?

Victor

I have FTM but always and only work on FH. From time to time I copy FH to FTM so provide me with links to Ancestry

I have the latest version of excel which is called Excel workbook ending with .xlsx
Tried to post an image on here but couldn't

Vctor

I always save census images. certificates etc in an external folder which I have set up under the flkder Family Historian Project. I use a sub folder called Family information which in turn has sub folders under the various surnames, census, births, baptism etc. When I use AS I import the images fro...
