This is the latest version of Ancestral Sources by Nick Walker, an add-on for Family Historian. Although this version only deals with Census, Baptism, and Marriage sources, later versions will handle all of the popular source documents including Birth, Death, Burial, Probate, etc.
Ancestral Sources makes adding source entries to Family Historian much quicker and easier to achieve. Simply enter the record details and allow Ancestral Sources to do all the hard work of creating Census, Birth, Baptism, Marriage, Occupation, and other Facts linked via Citations to Sources and Multimedia records.

The reason for such warnings is the lack of a Software Publisher Certificate, which costs about £100 per year, and is understandably an excessive expense for non-commercial free software.
