What shall I do next?

I have been busy reworking all my census entries (AS makes it so much easier, I decided it was worth doing to keep all entries consistant, especially as I realised I'd recorded some as census and others as residence. If anyone else has considered this but worried about having to hunt through for duplicated entries after doing so, I just sort all my records in FH by 'updated' and at the end of the day quickly go through and delete the unwanted entries) and have now added over 250 household entries using AS.
Anyway, I don't really mind what comes next - although only having a few certificates I think baptisms, marriages and burials (in any order!) would be preferable.
I would like the ability to add an approximate date of birth with baptism entries, and also (as I have often found it included in baptism records I have come accross) the fathers occupation. Likewise, the ability to add an approximate date of death with burial entries.

Hi,

My own preference would be the facility to edit names from AS. The new template editor makes AS so versatile and easy to customise to the user's own way of working, I think this extra feature would make census entry pretty much perfect!

Of course this feature would also carry over and be equally useful when BMD and other source types are added.

If it is not too late I would like to add my preferences.

1) Marriage Certificates
2) Death Certificates
3) Birth Certificates

I put MC first because they usually link to the most Individuals (Bride, Groom, both Fathers, and sometimes Witnesses) with Marriage Facts, Occupation Facts, Residence Facts, or Marriage Witnessed Facts (that I have created).

I have not yet got many records before 1837 so UK GRO Certificates are my preference.

Will Ancestral Sources allow any GRO Index, that led to the Certificate, be recorded in the Source Record, perhaps in the Note field?

Now that Ancestry have added Probate Records could you consider raising the priority of these?

Hi Nick,

I would vote for:

1. Birth Certificates
2. Death Certificates
3. Marriage Certificates

Great program, looking forward to the new items whatever you decide to do.

Thanks!
