Hi, For various reasons I have not been able to keep my FH records up to date and I've now received a number of certificates from which I need to enter the information onto my FH records.
Can more regular users give me a bit of step by step advise as to what & where to record information from certificates received please, so that the records are correct.
I'm out of practise a bit so I'd appreciate some advice please.
Thank you
Barbara.

Have you looked at the 'How to enter a Birth Certificate' in the Knowledge base?

The logic is pretty well the same for Marriage and Death Certificates.

I cannot add anything to Jane's excellent advice, except to say that when Nick Walker has had enough time (and encouragement, e.g. more donations) he will develop another version of Ancestral Sources. As many of us know, this already provides the best method of entering details of census and baptism events, and future versions will also handle birth, marriage, and death certificates.
