Why aren't you using Ancestral Sources!

Using Ancestral Sources v2 I have just finished inputing some 300 baptism records with their images. With this fantastic piece of software the task was made a lot easier and I know that there are Source Records and flags attached to all the records and that all the family members have been cross-referenced with their address etc at the date of the baptism. In short, Ancestral Sources has ensured that my recording is consistent and thorough.

Added to this the Baptism templates are easy to change and adapt to your specific requirements. And if you feel that this task is beyond you there are plenty of templates for you to try on the AS Wiki - see: http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id ... rces:index.

So why aren't you using Ancestral Sources? If you are still using Gedcom Census (which was an an excellent program when it was introduced) upgrade now and get the added benefit of being able to record Baptisms (with Marriage, Burials etc to follow). And please don't forget to make a donation to the author - Nick Walker.

I have no financial stake in the Ancestral Sources program or its author - I am just a very satisfied customer.

300 baptisms - wow!

Thanks for the kind words Gerry - if I get enough donations I might even make a start on the next version with support for marriage records

... and about 150 marriages are waiting the next upgrade!

Is that incentive enough?

I admire your enthusiasm Gerry but I'm not sure Nick would see it as incentive enough. I bet a few more users like you and I sending a donation would help greatly though.
All best
