Focus Window items

Post by allenawilson » 23 Dec 2022 16:56

I have read other posts about the focus window items, but did not find an answer to my question. In the attached image you'll notice that the 1880 census is listed under the birth information. I understand that since I have no death information for this individual, FH picks out another fact. My question concerns the detail of the information itself.

1880 census AR/Boone/Lead Hill, Sugar Loaf/606A

While I do indeed have this census listed as a fact, I did NOT include the township of "Sugar Loaf." However, that IS the correct township. How does FH extract that information? Just curious!

FH does not pick another fact in those circumstances, it just doesn't display death info.

I suspect what you're seeing there is a Note associated with the individual. If you click on Customize View (top right in the Focus window) you can customise what's shown (to a degree). Try turning off Notes and see what happens.

You're correct in that turning off notes removes that particular fact, but I double-checked and I do not have the township included in the citation. I'm perfectly happy with the fact being there, I was just curious how FH knew the township associated with that census.

It isn't a Fact.

The whole line is the text of a Note associated with the Individual. Look in the Notes tab of the Property Box for the Individual. Can you see it there?
