Lancashire OPC transcriptions are not done by OCR , but by volunteers reading the films of the actual records. One of the beauties of Lan OPC is that if you have a query you can contact the parish co-ordinator directly who will check the original for you and updates will be made when an error is fou...

I agree it's nice to have hints, but I would like to be able to reject the hint without having to go to FMP/My Heritage to see it.

Like many I do not have a world-wide sub to FMP and just want to get rid of what I know is an erroneous hint quickly

Sorted!

Thank you

Fiona

Hi Thanks for the info on the reports - I will certainly do that - if only to save paper!! As for the other matter, on the Burial I was not entering place of death as that is not included in the parish register - just residence. However, I thought I was stopping it updating death facts on exit as I ...

Hi How do I turn off the residence attribute which is generated by AS please? It duplicates the census place and address and is added to the parents when there is a baptism or a wedding. The latest thing I have noticed is when doing burials - a residence fact is generated for the deceased for AFTER ...

I am mostly using AS via the plugin for FH v5. When I do so I get a message that tells me that a new version (4.2) is available. The screen that then opens tells me that I am on version 4.0 (despite having downloaded 4.0.1) and that a later version 4.0.0 is available for download. When I go to the d...

Thanks to you both for replying.

Peter's solution was the one that cracked it

Hi I am haveing a little problem here with Sources and forgive me if it has been covered before. For example: I have a Death and the source for it is the death certificate. There are other fields which I have used - namely the 'Text from Source' and 'Note'. I have made a spelling mistake in several ...

Thanks again for all your help!

After having 'cruised' with Generations for so many years I didn't realise what a shock to the system using new software would be!

Is this what you need?

%INDI._ATTR-FAMILY% and
%INDI._ATTR-REF%

If census is a STANDARD then why can it be edited under EDIT Customized item? ?

PLease bear with me , but I have another question.... Everything is working fine, but I cannot find the attributes Census1, date, place, address etc from the new census tab on the custom fact list (under working with fact lists) and yet when I click 'customize' on the property box it is listed as ce...

Hi Tatewise

Got it sorted!

a blank character had appeared between the I of INDI and the . and I just couldn't see it.

Works fine now and have customised it to my needs

Many thanks - perhaps I need computer glasses!

C:ProgramDataCalico PieFamily HistorianProperty Box I am on windows 7 Renaming is working fine as when I renamed the new one and put the old one back (I had already made a mod to it) it picked it up OK. FH knows about the new FACTS OK. All I did was put the new one in the file above and restarted FH...

Sorry, but I am being dense too!

I have downloaded the fact sets and changed the PB-INDI file for the new one

So why can't I see the new tabs on the Property Box please?

Fiona

Yes I had seen that as part of the 'Orphans' query. But I don't want to have to change the database, especially as the number is arbitrarily allocated. I just haven't got the time at the moment to cope with the knock-on effect of changing the website I think I am happier this way at the moment until...

Sorry,but I also did not make myself clear.... The attribute FAMILY in my project is a user derfined field which allows me to put individuals into specific family groups. This is used in conjunction with an ACCESS database which builds a website about people with a certain surname in a Lancshire vil...

Thank You TATEWISE and PETER R

It all works like a dream!

I am moving from Generations where all this is done for you so it is a steep learning curve for me to DIY

Many thanks


Fiona

Hello Peter

Thanks for your reply.

Please bear with me as I am a really new user of this program...

But how do I change the automatically generated code to what you sent?

If I try to overtype it it won't let me do it.

Sorry

Hi I am having a bash at doing a custom query and have looked at a lot and downloaded some from the web site. I have tried to follow by example but don't seem to be getting anywhere. Every person on my file has a custom FAMILY attribute which is listed in the colums tab as %INDI_ATTR-FAMILY% and is ...

Thanks again for the very helpful advice on this issue.

I am sure when I really get to play with my new toy then thre will be loads more questions!

Fiona

Just to say thanks to you both for your advice.

I downloaded the editor prog as suggested, had a play and tweaked the file to add in _ATTRs.

I have NOT had to use a custom set of attributes - they just seem to be there! (should I be worried about that?)

Thanks again

Fiona[smile]

Thanks for the advice so far... I have been doing a little more playing and reading - why can't I make them into custom attributes using the customise dialog? I could then put them on a new tab I know that is a bit of a pain as it carries over to every project but better on a separate tab And if I d...

Hi I have just got FH as my Christmas present and have started to play with it but have come up against a problem which I can't seem to find an existing answer for... In my previous software I have 2 custom records for each individual ( call it Field1 and Field2) . I have managed to import these suc...
