Help needed on Ancestry.com media
Posted: 03 Jul 2012 11:59
I have a problem locating some media found in Ancestry into the correct position and under the correct title eg:
1. I have found Dorset records for marriages that are listed as being in the book of Burials and this creates a Death record so that instead of the fact appearing as his marriage it shows him dying. Can I edit a Death fact to become a Marriage instead?
2. Some Dorset facts appear as transcripts only, they also appear under a different data set heading as an image. When saved to the individual the image version is not saving as a Marriage fact but just as an image against the individual and is therefore difficult to see without opening the Facts and Sources tab.
At the moment the only solution I have found is to save the image to my PC , create a marriage fact, upload the image to the individual, Add Media using the uploaded image. All this seems rather long winded and I'm sure there must be a better way but I cannot find anywhere in Ancestry to obtain this info.
Any assistance appreciated,
