Family Historian User Group

Hi everyone,

Many moons ago when I started researching my family history, I entered a great many records with a birth date of "Q1 1936" or similar, I failed to record a source.
For instance, now, if I was entering one I would put "Q1 1936" then add the source "GRO - Birth Reference"

I have several hundreds like this, my question is "is there a plugin or easy way to add the above source to each entry I have?

I know how to query the records to find them, I would just like to know if there is a method to add a source as above without having to do them one at a time

I will also have to do this with deaths etc too

Thanks for reading,

Dave

Hi Dave, you asked a similar question on the Email list.
There you revealed that you planned to add finer details such as volume and page number etc in "where within source".

I replied: You will have to visit each and every BMD Event separately to add the Where within Source details.
That is the most manually laborious part of the process.
By comparison, the manual step of adding the Source Citation is no big deal, so in my opinion is not worth automating.
The effort involved in designing, creating, testing & running the automation could be greater than doing it manually.

You responded with "I suspected that may be the case Mike."

Hi Mike,

Yes, sorry, I posted on here first.
