* Register as Event Type in FH

[jclifford]

I have been trying to create a FH query to collect Individuals who appear in censuses.

This worked fine for the 1939 register when AS were calling it a Census, but now it is a Register FH does not seem to recognise 'Register' as a valid Event type - =FactLabel(%FACT%).

Any thoughts?

I thought they were still recorded as Census events in FH as far as I understood. They are simply called Register (in AS) as they aren't really a census (similar to the electoral rolls) but use the same recording method as a census as far as AS is concerned.

This is a (now) typical source record for a Register entry. See line *****

That is the Generic Type of the Source record and has nothing to do with the Fact on the Individual Facts tab which as Chris suggested is still a Census Event so =FactLabel(%FACT%) still returns 'Census'.

If you post screenshots of your Query Columns and Rows tabs we can advise where it is going wrong.

Thank you both.

I don't have a problem now, just a mistaken assumption.
