David, those free records don't list the free Lincolnshire Parish Records!

So I see, how very odd!

This link to FindMyPast free records may be of interest.

There could be multiple \ and multiple dots. Get the string length, find last dot position and last\ position then you use a mid string function. Might help to reverse the string.

Shift key, I think, Nick.

That is very useful know about! Shift key it is.

Hi all, I spoke to FindMyPast just now as my pro subscription expires 26 October 2022. They could not upgrade the renewal to a Premium subscription - the advice I received was to allow the renewal to go through as usual with the 15% loyalty discount, then upgrade at the rate of £19.99 - they could n...

My apologies for misposting

One is 64.

Many of us are 64. It isn't a handicap...

Certainly is not!

Brian, Arthur -- thanks. My pro subscription is up for renewal at the start of November, so I'll contact them in advance as Arthur suggests.

Mine is due 26th October, so will be doing the same

Just a heads up to those who may be interested FindMyPast are now offering a new level of subscription "Premium" which gives unlimited access to the 1921 Census.

Hi Nick, Many thanks for your work on this. The two issues I reported have been fixed :) I converted my sole 1831 Census to rich text easily. One issue I have noted previously but not mentioned is in relation to the Autotext Fit button. It disappears immediately an edit is made to the Autotext. I li...

Just changed to Arial 10 and that has resolved!? But not the movement bar issue.

Hi Nick, Have just downloaded to have a look around. The top left hand of the Source Convert Screen is not fully displaying as shown in the attached screenshot. Source Convert Screenshot 2022-10-04 083911.jpg edited to add: the top horizontal movement bar is not working, the vertical and other low h...

Could the machine be going to sleep during a sync.

I trying to of a way of reproducing the error.

We used to get this at work when sharing files, and two of us had the same file set to always keep on local machine. Stopping doing this mostly solved the issue as I recall (was a couple of years ago now). I'm using one-drive, windows 11 and FH7 all fully up-to-date. I haven't experienced that issue...

Is the file set to 'always keep on this device'?

Thanks Nick.

Hi Nick, I took me a few attempts to repeat this. However this following is consistent: 1. Load AS from within FH for Census entry 2. Select Census year (am using England 1881) 3. Click add unrelated individual - do not enter name or gender 4. click OK 5. either response to the yes/no message box re...

Hi Nick, Yes, it is {YEAR}{DATE.MONTH.NUM2}{DATE.DAY2} {SOURCETYPE} @ {PLACE} {PLACE.SHORT}: {REF} - {KEYPERSON.GN} {KEYPERSON.SN.CAPS} I repeat the place info to help with reversing, so it reads from largest to smallest. No Short title used, see image. Thanks, David AS Method 1 Options Screen.jpg

Hi Nick, I just experienced a repeatable Unhandled exception error running AS v7.4.4 I had opened AS, set the repository to TNA and the Census year 1881. Then on adding an unrelated individual who now appears in the Find Name selection box I get this error: AS Error Screenshot 2022-09-20 175851.jpg ...

Fair enough, unfortunately I had inadvertently moved it out of the Documents folder when setting up One Drive! Mea culpa. It's back there now.

May I draw attention to this paragraph in the AS help File: Settings Folder : You can specify the folder where the Ancestral Sources settings files are stored. Auto-text templates, associated person types, census templates and links between places and countries are saved in XML files in this locatio...

Has this slow response just started happening?
Did it behave OK when you first got the new machine?
Where are the files located?

Bear in mind that that in the UK the GRO Indexes are produced from the registration supplied via a Local Registration office. There are a separate entries on the indexes for the groom and the bride. If either party had 'as known as' entries on the marriage certificate then there may be multiple entr...

A big vote of thanks to Mike and Mark. I have been using the plugins to keep desktop and laptop in step and when changing computers (that's not very often). I have been testing Mark's routine this week prior to upgrading laptop.

Heather, I agree with the two Mikes. I made the customisations to make FH V7 look more like FH V6. I don't use the Templates however I do use Ancestral Sources (Thank you to Nick). I do like the 'rich text' formatting feature in FH V7. I find that very useful in Text from Source to create tables and...
