* Uploading images & data from a Family Bible

[aaj1945]

I have scanned copies of a register of births, marriages and deaths between 1845 and 1918 taken from a Family Bible; they are in various hands and give the event down to the hour and minute. What would be the best way of uploading these data into FH5, both as multimedia and as facts?

I'd add each page as a separate multimedia image. Create a Source for the family bible and link those images to the source. I'd transcribe the details into the source text. Create the various events (e.g. births) and as you create each use a citation to link to the source. You may find using Automatic Source Citation helpful when doing that. For the times of birth I'd add those as local notes for the birth events.

I am not sure of your current understanding of Facts and Sources and Multimedia.

If you are familiar with these, then use a similar technique as you currently use for Birth/Marriage/Death Certificates.
Create one or more Source Records depending on how the details are organised.
Possibly one for Births, one for Marriages, and one for Deaths, or possibly organised by Family Groups, or Register Page by Register Page.
Create a Transcript in Text From Source and attach supporting Page(s) as Multimedia.
Then cite the appropriate Source Record against the relevant Facts.

If you are unfamiliar with Facts and Sources and Multimedia, then work through the Knowledge Base guides on Using and Recording Sources first.
