Hi All, sorry for the the late response. Wow I underestimated what a complex question this could turn out to be. Your responses are most welcome and indeed all valid. I guess I need to decide how I want this to work/look going forward. This particular family are somewhat distant in terms of research...

Thanks Helen. I'm using the Essentials collection.

Thank you Mark yes I can see that could be an option. Break it down so as to speak.

Thank you.

Thank you Adrian for your contribution. I always value your input on things FH. I agree entirely with your views. I'd like to think a suitable Source Template should exist albeit perhaps currently outside of FH. It just needs to be discovered. I can't imagine Military Source type Templates have not ...

Hi All I have found a small family via a UK Military Pension Document. It reports the Marriage date & place, children births and place and one death. What would be the most appropriate Source Template to use to support the facts above. The Source exists on Ancestry and has the Source description as ...

Sorry - and thanks to Lorna also.

Thank you Mike. That worked out okay.

Much appreciated.

Hi both. So what am I to enter if anything? I'm a little confused.

Thank you

David

Thank you Mike. I'll try this out. I might need to come back if I can't figure it out.

Hi All
Is there a way to have a Diagram show Vitals such as Birth based on Preferred Fact Flag rather than the first Birth in the List? I can't find any suitable options in the list of available Formats.


Please see attached screen shot, Ancestors

Thank You

Could you not make that as a request to CP?

I asked expressly pointed out that there had been no program updates since 2018.

The answer I got was simply - we are still here and active.

I received a reply from the Gensmarts publisher. Simply to confirm they are still active with this Product.


Thanks.

Thank you Helen I'll contact the author to see what they say.

David

Hi All
I have Gensmarts but was wondering is it still supported? From what I can see the last program update was 2018.

If there are any users out there can I have your feedback if it is still supported?

Thanks.

Thank you All, that helped a lot. Mike I didn't quite get the reason for the Rolling Eyes gesture. The help tells you first and foremost how and not why. I'm just trying to understand how others do things, to glean best practice and avoid issues going forward. I've spent a lot of time experimenting,...

Hi Everyone, sorry; for some reason I did not receive any notification of these new posts.

Thank you - I'm going through your comments now.

@Lorna Hi Lorna, may I please ask how you structure your Place details in order to make use of the AS7 Shorten Where Born you requested Nick to code? Practically all my UK Census records have the County followed by Town, Village, Hamlet. This would suggest if the Place is Shortened up to the Second ...

Thank you both.

Bingo - it has clicked now. So I'm not so far away from doing this right and only need to realign the Text from Source Where Born parts in FH to match the Source the Record.

Thank you all for your patience and assistance.

David

Hi All

@ Mike and Lorna - Is this what you do for best practice for Place Names associated with Census data...? See attached.

Thank you

Thank you Mike very much appreciated for that setup info. What you sent me was very close to what I had been testing with. But for some reason when I ran it previously it brought into play Place details? I think I may have gotten confused with the Extra Filters, thinking something needed to be set t...

Help please... I'm mostly using AS7 to create my Census entries into FH7 and one very useful AS7 feature is the Place/Address Tidy option whereby additional spaces and comma's are removed before being sent to FH7. However, I make good use and wish to keep double comma's in my Place records in order ...

Hi All I took the plunge and installed the FH update into Win 10. It installed very quickly but as others have said it invokes the Windows Blue Restart screen before the FH Installer has actually finished. So to be sure I clicked cancel on the blue restart screen and clicked Finish on the FH Install...
