Thanks Jane. I can't say for sure if it was due to an import from previous program. My Mum used several programs over the last 35 years but this one became her favourite. I simply took up where she left off when she passed away just over a year ago. Thankfully she'd shown me a few of the basics othe...

Hi Jane
Thanks for the reply. I believe the answer is yes.

As you can see from the attached images, I clearly have notes in the regarding a person's death but I can't see it in the 'note' tab or the 'fact' tab when clicking 'died'. Yet my 'education' ones are there. Even some other family members still have their notes visible for their death, cremation. I ...

Of all the things for me not to notice - the colour of the actual sentence box. And yes the sentence for Bertha had been typed directly into the sentence box. I probably should have stated this is/was my mother's program and I am just trying to take on where left off (passed June 2019) and I was try...

I've included one image where the birth sentence is exactly as I want it - image with the living person's info crossed out. Another image shows there is definitely notes in the section but they do not appear in the sentence area. The other two images show there is a sentence there but there are no n...

Just wanted to say Thanks again to you all who helped, I'm sure I'll be back : )

Thanks Davidf for more claification, really appreciate it. My mother was clearly a 'lumper' (especially if she was on a roll with newspaper articles) and I'm reasonably confident, since she had most of the hard copies in files, she didn't bother with correct sourcing within FH (too hard for her). I'...

Thank you every one for all the advice, links, you have no idea how much I appreciate all this to carry on what Mum started.

Now to attempt fixing 11k people in the db lol

Thanks again :) I think I'm sorta following now, after looking at the sample. I thought source is birth certificate. Once I created the "generic" source title 'birth cert' it could just then apply it to everyone & add the 'text from source' when the citation part comes up. When you commented on I'd ...

Thanks Jane & CVG

would this be almost correct?

sorry how messy it looks - just attempted to make sure you could see most windows.

Firstly WOOHOO & Thank you! I obviously didn't have my eyes open wide enough (then again never seen so many options in my life lol) Secondly you are both correct. Thirdly thank you for explaining the 'installation' option. And thank you for bringing up source citation. In my mum's defence she always...

Hi I am somewhat new to FH6, my mum used FH6 and along the way she showed me bits & pieces, she recently passed away & now I am attempting to carry on the 35 years of research she's done. After working out a few things about research I thought I'd have a go at doing a tree for a friend of mine. So f...
