Family Historian User Group

Most genealogy programs I've used or coded over the last 35 years have had the ability to create a new source by copying another one. I want to do this with Scotland statutory registers, creating a source for each parish/ county. My folks didn't move too much. Can't figure this out, can't find a topic in Knowledge Base or Forums except back in 2015 and the program has changed since then.

Please help a dumb Yank figure this out, and contribute to across-the-Pond improved relations!

thanks much, Jim

There is a plugin called "Clone Any Record" which can be used to clone any record (Individual, Family, Source, Repository, etc.).

Install the plugin.
Select the source to clone on the Sources tab of the record window.
Run the plugin from the Tools menu.

It is easiest if you Edit the plugin and add it to the Tools menu.

I achieve the same result as Bill but by using the "Clone Source Record..." option when the Automatic Source Citations panel is active. No plugin required.

Wonderful! All y'all (that's Southern lingo) clearly understand the buttonology of FH better than me!

If any of your reprobate descendants made it to North Carolina, let me know and I'll help you chase them over here.
