Just to clarify, I never suggested that Married surname was used in any circumstances. Further, the topic is in the AS forum, and I did say that it was AS that I was querying, not FH, so not sure my arguments are inaccurate.

Anyway, thanks Nick for agreeing to look at it.

Sorry for the delay in responding, yes, my original example had no marriage date for George & Jane. I fully understand that the existence of what FH calls a spouse does not mean there is a marriage - although in the 1800s this is likely to have been truer in most cases, whereas today it is far less ...

But I tested adding a marriage date, and the Married surname was then displayed

Thanks, for confirming my thoughts. The reason for including both views is for reports sent to family members as the wider view often has much more information than just the face. They have no way to view on screen.

Ok I see that (partly). But AS knew she was married in 1891, so with no other info regarding a 2nd marriage should it not default to the married name? After all putting in the marriage date, does not mean she is still known by that surname in the 2nd census. The logic for using the marriage date to ...

On entering a census using AS for 1891, the entry screen shows the wife's maiden name in the entry, but shows the married name in the text. AS query.jpg By 1901, with Jane now a Widow, her maiden name is shown in both sections. AS query2 .jpg I've never noticed this before, but is it intentional tha...

When a photo is added to the media tab on the property box, I often want to use the image twice, once as a link to the face, and separately the whole image. So far I have been adding the same image twice, once as a new image, then secondly as an existing media image, then setting a frame on one of t...

Thanks for the clarification.

Just noticed that the Splash screen (or intro screen) used when running the Ancestral Sources Data Entry Plug-in, still says V4.7, even though I am running 5.3.

Many thanks for the confirmation and explanation

I've been doing quite a lot of editing of the Emigration and Immigration facts. Now that I've finished, I've spotted an issue I just want to check. I've created an emigration for a lady, and added her husband, and her brother as fellow travellers. In the Individual Records window, the lady has an em...

Thanks, seems a sensible way forward.

I made nor make no comment on the number, I was just interested in what size the company was.

As you say, unit price is not high.

I suspect like some users, I have no real plan for output. My challenge is the hunt for data, and the ability to source/verify it. I do know however that I will not be producing DVD's, a book, or a website. I am interested in Family History as a hobby for my own benefit, Any benefit for others is in...

Not quite sure what I expected, but CP's latest accounts, submitted Nov 19 for yr to 31 Mar 19 records that they had an
average of 3 employees during the year!

I'd like to follow up a post by Helen in this topic. 17791|New user requesting confirmation that I am following best practice I like the idea of dealing with military service in the way she suggested, as it seems to simplify matters significantly. I did have a look at the downloaded (I think) Milita...

Thanks for confirming my thoughts. Reported it to Calico Pie.

I needed to delete a few Media today and spotted a strange behaviour. 2020-05-30_10-07-13.jpg When I click on the red X, the pop-up dialog box appears, and the focus is on the top box "Unlink only". Since I wanted to delete, I pressed the down arrow on the keyboard, but the result was that the focus...

Thanks I was looking at the paragraph above. Makes sense now.

I've got a diagram set up as 100% scaling, with page width 44.8cm & height 411.02cm. pdf.jpg Both these dimensions appear to me to be within those specified in how_to:creating_a_single_page_pdf_of_a_diagram|> Single Page PDF of a Diagram and yet when I ouput, I'm getting a two page document. If I ch...

Ok thanks I misunderstood what part 2 was. Thanks

I've added another item to the Property Box, but so far I can't make two items share the same line. I can't see anything in the help file but ....

Thanks

Thanks for comments, I will look to switch to Nicknames.

Given Name used is already well used in my tree

Thanks for the answer and the explanation. I got that working perfectly for what I want. nick.jpg However it has raised a second question, in that I have probably been mis-using the Add Name field, but my wife and I have just had a great debate as to whether I'm actually discussing Names or Nickname...

Is there any way for the Focus Window (or the Property Box) to display any AKA names. Whilst many of these aka's are obvious (eg Bob for Robert), many are not (eg Dick as an aka for George, Bobby for Henry as two brothers out of 6 all but 1 with obscure aka's) and I can never remember who is who in ...
