Hi Mike

Your suspicions are correct. I overlooked or had forgotten about that button next to parent up arrow. Getting old I guess.

Many thanks for solving that problem.

Hi Forum. Requesting help with clarification on the following: If I open up the Property Box for an Individual by double clicking the Individual from the Record List. And then click the Blue Up Arrow to navigate to the Parents. And then choose Edit > Delete. The deletion confirmation states the pers...

Hi Mike

Quick and Thorough as always The technique to drill from the census event > source > list of individuals works for me. That really helps thank you. And as you say not much in it re both techniques.

Hi Forum Wasn't sure where to post this question so placed it here. I'm using AS extensively to create my FH database. I use Source Method 1 (One Source per Household/Family Group). This is perfect from a Source/Citation point of view but for Census records I lose the advantage of having a witnessed...

Thank you Mike.

Yes - I heard this, I have the book and will check out that Section.

Hi Forum

Is it possible to add the Individual Custom ID field into the Child window for each Child. This would make it easier when going through research material when Parents and Children's names are the same across Generations.

See screen shot attached.

Hi Mike

Thank you - I'll look deeper into, sounds like a nice solution to separating out Facts to see more clearly.

David

Thanks Mike - that solved the problem.

Hi Mike

Would these additional Tabs work retrospectively with already created Military and Census data. IE, if install these will the Military and Census facts I have already entered (mostly using AS) being visible in these new tabs?

David

Hi Mike

I have set this up but it only allows me to select one source at a time. I think it's because it forces me to set it up as a Parameter. See screen shot.

David

Hi Mike

No problem at all. I will try that new suggestion out and report back.

In the Plugin Result Set you should be able to select all the INDI.SOUR entries and Edit > Delete them. Hi Mike What part of the record from the result set am I to delete? Using caution and working only on one record and after backing up I highlight one record from the Source Name column chose Edit...

Hi Mike/Lorna

Yes that was set on - I have now turned it off. Thank you very much problem solved.

Hi Mike

Thanks very much.
It looks like AS is duplicating the Citation, once for say the Baptism, Census, Residence, etc and again for the <Whole Record>. Bahhh

Is there a quick way to remove these dup's from the <Whole Record> ?

BR

David

Thank you Mike. I set this up and have found individuals (now with the diagram box coloured green) that should not be coloured this way. On checking further the <Whole Record> in the Sources For: drop down list contained a Baptism Citation! And this was the first and only Citation and set with Prima...

Hi Mike

Thanks for the clarification. I have voted for that wish list item. And checked the hint advice.

Thanks again for the quick response.

Hi Forum Having activated Internet Data Searching - and purchased some credits from FindmyPast because I don't have a regular subscription here as I use Ancestry more so. Question: How can I choose to ignore the hints generated and therefore remove them from the hint display without going through th...

Hi Mike Having made good use of option 2 with your help. Can this setup now be used in the Diagram box colour coding settings and if so can you provide some instructions on how this might be achieved. What I would like is to set up the box colour to equal 'Green' say if the Surety value for the Cita...

You're a star Mike - that worked a treat.

Hi Mike

I would like to take up your proposal option 2. As you say this has the benefit of using the pre-defined Sureties. I have set this up but am stuck as to how I get this to appear on the Main Tab. Can I please trouble you further for help (instructions) on this part.

Many thanks.

David

Hi I'm not able to offer expert opinion - but I do have TMG9.5 still running whilst I migrate to FH6.2.2. As I see it the Master Source List in TMG very closely resembles the Fact Types in FH. I am making good use of Ancestral Sources (AS) to create my new FH database using Source Method 1. This cre...

Hello Mike Thank you for the explanation. And thank you very much for putting together a list of options/solutions. Especially at that time on a Friday night :shock: I will wade through the list and pick the one that offers the closest fit to my needs. Thanks again for the excellent support. Have a ...

Hi Mike and Jane Wow - so many possible solutions. Let me elaborate on what I would really like. I submitted my original request based on what I had learned was possible in FH and maybe went in the wrong direction... I have this year come from TMG 9.5. In TMG there are the usual Source/Citation “pro...

Hi Both

I welcome the hint - I have been through most of the Newcomer stuff. But as a new need arises I forgot to go back to that resource.

I'll take a fresh and I have the book Getting the most of FH 6.

Thanks for your patience.

David

Forgot to mention can it be placed/combined with the SEX attribute to conserve space?
