Ok fair enough, I just thought that the bread crumbs might help you locate them again by scrolling through the images, like a microfim, and then you could save the link to your source citation.

Hello Adrian, Not sure if this helps you. I also had problems finding items I had previously accessed and saved from Ancestry's "Historical Newspapers, Birth, Marriage, & Death Announcements, 1851-2003". The database seems to have been removed, however, if I click on the saved source in my Ancestry ...

Thanks Nick, It looks like this is going to be a more onerous task than I first expected. As I am in week 2 of a 9 week course and with Christmas/New Year coming up, I think I will have to put this trial on hold, uninstall the program and attempt a new trial at a later stage when I have more time to...

However, as I am using a trial version the plugin does not work and says I have to buy a licence. So does t...

Hi, I am trialing Family Historian and someone recommended that I also try Accestral Sources. I installed AS, however when I try to open my FH project or even the GEDCOM file that I used to generate the FH project I get an error and cannot proceed. The GEDCOM file was generated with FTM2014.
