Seems to work ok with British deaths but Canada seems to be a problem.

I entered the details as it says on AS, bear in mind this was in Canada, however I can't post screenshots as I've completed it now but will do it next time it occurs.

I've noticed that when I enter a death certificate on AS and enter the informant's name that FH puts the death of the informant at that date as well as the actual deceased? The only way to stop this is to delete the death from the informant's box otherwise it shows him/her as died then too?

Thank you Mike, I didn't realise that I could change the templates, thought it was for administration to do.

On the AS census records there is no allowance for patient, similarly I think for step children? One of my relations was in hospital at 1911 UK but I couldn't enter her as a patient but as say a visitor and amend it in the text?

Thank you very much Lorna, super.

I don't appear to have a template for the above, can you point me in the right direction so that I can download a blank please?

Thank you once again, Mike, a superb report-just what I needed and thank you for pointing me the right direction to save/print it.

Thank you very much, Mike, the Ancestral Key Details version 2 works wonderfully , the other one will be more useful when I find more emigration dates which are elusive at present. Is there a way of just being able to save/print a report of the Individual names, death dates and places so that it ex...

Thank you Mike, I'll give it a try.

Hello Mike, Yes I think you know what I'm trying to get to. As the dna test seems to give matches of cousins who live in the USA or other countries outside the UK including Eire, it would be helpful for me to know which of my 17600 plus people came from or ended up in the USA, etc. When I enter plac...

I was interested to read from my query on emigration that Jane mentioned the Map Window. As yet I've not used this facility. When entering individuals on my tree or updating them, I always try to put bmd locations for them. Is there a video showing how to use the map window so as to show the people ...

Thank you both for the custom query reports, unfortunately Jane's one doesn't give many names whereas Mike's one gives lots of names but not the relevant death location. Perhaps I didn't explain it properly? I need a list that gives the names of my ancestors/relations and the fact that they died in ...

Recently I had my dna tested and the results have shown a lot of 'supposed 2-8th cousins' who live in the USA. They don't seem to know where their ancestors originated! Is it possible to set up a custom query which shows where my ancestors actually died which includes their name, original date and p...

I don't understand this idea of yours that AS isn't a plug in-I get it from the plug in drop down box on FH, same as 'back up and restore FH settings' so it must be a plug in, and have to download it from the plug in store? However, I feel sure in my own mind that before the FH update, data entered ...

I've noticed that if I use the AS plug in to enter say census info for a person/family that once I save and close the plug in, I'm not sent back to the original record but to the beginning of my list at A-is this correct?

Sorry it's my mistake, I recently got a larger monitor and didn't realise that I could 'drag' the line down to reveal the marriage info. Now that my monitor has gone from 15 ins to 31 ins, I can do other things like make the text bigger, etc.
Sorry once again, it's my age...

OK I run the AS plug in from FH as you say but the marriage type didn't work for me. Should I uninstall it and redownload it?

I've downloaded the new modified version of AS but when I use it for marriages, it won't let me enter the 'marriage type' so I have to put it into 'other information'!

That suggestion worked superbly Mike.

I'll try your suggestion, Mike, thank you.

I don't use IE myself, preferring Opera and even Chrome sometimes. Epic is a good browser too for ad free browsing and no tracking.
I usually have fmp open in Opera anyway to check 1939 register with no problems.

Attached another screen shot of a really poor hint series. I don't know how to do jpg images!

Why do these organisations use IE-it's useless and full of security problems. It doesn't do 'copy and paste', so out of choice I use Opera which is very fast and does all I need.

I use fh and fmp in combination, usually when researching on fmp it's the 1939 register in another tab but on fh I look at their 'hints' which don't include the 1939 and that is when I sometimes find that the 'hints' are greyed out such that they are unreadable, I press 'new' and makes no difference...
