Data not transferred from AS to FH

Post by martinreed » 19 Feb 2023 08:46

Apologies if this is a daft question but I've just noticed that when I enter a marriage event in AS and enter Marital status that although its shown in the Auto Text, its not shown in FH. [Or perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place]
Also their residence isn't transferred
Ive tried to attach a photo but when I click the 'Insert Image' button Image is inserted into this message

Insert image is used to insert an image that already exists somewhere on the internet - you enter it's URL between the tags.

You need to attach the photo. Click ATTACHMENTS below where you compose the message and ADD FILES.

If you're using the default settings in AS (recording method 1) then whatever is shown in the source text in Ancestral Sources will be saved into the source that is generated. So look at the source in Family Historian either via the Sources tab on the Records window or by clicking on the citation for the marriage fact that was generated. Look at the Text from Source tab when viewing the source.

If you have entered data under the individual residence and spouse residence panels in AS then you should see residence facts appear in the list of facts when you view the two people in FH. If none of the data (marriage, residence, source, etc.) are being transferred to FH from AS then this suggests you're opening a different project in AS than the one you're looking at in FH.
