Hi everyone.
We only purchased FH on Xmas Eve after extensive investigation into the packages available to migrate from Generations. What a pleasure to find a package with a sensible user group set up.
My question regards military records. In the group's experiance, what is the best way to record them in FH. I am talking about Medal Index Cards, Medal Roles, Career notes, CWGC X-refs, Battalion/Divisional notes etc etc etc

Hi, personally I create a source for each 'set' of information. Scanning the documents in and attaching them, to the source.
I then extract the information to related fields on the individual. I know different people in the group have different methods, I keep notes small, so I would have 1 note for Battalion details and one for personal details.
