Hi,
Please excuse the newbie post! I want to be able to see (and print) all people in a tree including non-bloodline relatives (i.e. parents and siblings of spouses that are nonthing to do with me personally - just relatives by marriage) - is this possible?
Also, is there a place to put UK BMD quarterly index information in without having to use notes fields?
Regards,
Peter

Peter,
Try View>Standard Diagrams>Everyone.
In FH you can insert a date such as Q4 1850 in a date field and it will accept it. Alternatively use the Date Entry Assistant by clicking on the button with three small dots on the right hand side of the date field. This will allow you to do the same.

Hello Peter,
I find it useful to create a few sources called 'GRO Births', 'GRO Deaths', 'GRO Marriages'. To record information for a birth obtained from the BMD Indexes, I add the event Year into the appropriate date field and then select correct source, and in 'Where within Source' I add the reference - usually of the form Dec 1909 / Merthyr Tydfil / 9a / 1211.
You could create a source for each bit of information you have from the index - this is a matter of personal preference and you will read many views on the subject. I find it is overkill. However, for sources such as birth Certificates, I create individual sources.
Gerry's suggestion of using 'Q4 YYYY' is correct of course and shows the power of FH. However, for dates obtained from the Indexes I tend to avoid using the quarter numbers in the date fields as they may not be correct. For example, I was born in Q1, but my registration is in Q2.
Hope this helps,
Adrian

I do put GRO Quarter Dates in for BMD events found in the Indexes, but I flag this up by putting the registration District Name, appended by '[RD]' in the Place for the event. I also use a Named List (BMD Required) where I list the details of the BMD Event, Flag the Individual ('BMDReqd') and have a corresponding 'BMDReqd' Icon set up in the diagrams so I quickly know which Individuals I have Quarterly Index information for but have yet to acquire the certificates as hard proof (or negation!).
I only have one List/Flag to cover any/all 'BMDrequired' events. Ideally I'd have one per event, but I found this to be overkill and the diagrams became very cluttered, especially as I also have individual Flags/Icons for Census and BMD certificates once obtained.
When I order certificates, I move the relevant BMDReqd list entries across to another Named List, 'BMD Ordered', and the remove them from that list when they arrive. [If only FH supported cut/paste including Notes between lists; wish list item].
Does that all make sense? [confused]
