* Address images

[MartinA]

Is it possible to link a picture to an address? As an example, if someone is married at St Mary, Ashbury, |put in the place Ashbury, Berkshire and under the address St Mary, Ashbury (repeat of place bane because there are a lot of Dt Marys).
Now it would be nice if my photographs of the church were linked to that address.
Also on the multimedia screen there seem to be links for images that I didn't enter and which don't show up anywhere.

It's not possible to add images to places or addresses.

You can add link note to media so it's possible these are what you are seeing. If you don't want them simply click on the links and delete them,

Thanks, Jane. Just thought it would be nice to have that link. I'll explore the other oes.

Martin, please ensure your Family Historian version is shown in your profile on the left.
Click User Control Panel centre top, and Profile on the left, select your Family Historian version at the bottom, and click Submit.

The way I have handled this problem is to create a Source Record for each particular Address Location.
Then any Fact with that Address can cite that Source Record, and the Source Record can link to any Multimedia pictures.

See how_to:create_locations_database_details|> Create a Locations Database of Place & Address Details.

An alternative is to link the Multimedia directly to the Fact using the camera icon.

If you haven't already, it might be worth voting for this Wishlist request: 8: Attaching multimedia to a Place. This dates from August 2006 and seems to be the oldest outstanding Wishlist request; it has the highest Score, the most Votes and one of the highest Avg Ratings.

There is a proposed extension of the GEDCOM 5.5 standard called "Gedcom 5.5EL": GenWiki: GEDCOM 5.5EL, which has Location as a high-level entity, to which could be attached a Source record with relevant Multimedia, as well as geographical co-ordinates.
