Hello Lorna. Thank you for your reply, I agree with you this is a tough one. I have been trying to find Ellen's birth & marriage for some time without any success. I have previously searched for William Curtis's marriage in Essex, Hampshire & Wiltshire from 1861-1870 and not found him, I wil...

Could somebody please help me find my great grandmother's birth & marriage. She is recorded in the Census returns for 1871 to 1901 as set out below. 1871 Name; Ellen Curtis aged 30. Where born. London City, Middlesex, England. Civil parish. St Thomas, County/Island, Wiltshire. Country, England. ...

Jane. Thank you for your quick reply. I have Bitdefender Anti Virus Plus 2018 and will follow all the information you sent to me. I'm sure all will back to normal when I get a chance later today. I was very dissappointed that staff in Bitdefenders Support department were not able to help, but thats ...

SueG26 Could you please let me know who you contacted to solve this problem. I started a "chat" this morning but it was with somebody from Romania who did not know what I was refering to. My experience of getting help from Bitdefender staff is not good, they can help with simple things but...

Mike thanks for your reply.

Just checked and I am using the Ancestral Sources Data Entry Plugin and have updated to Ancestral Souces v 5.2. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for all your help Mike, Nick & keith_r59. I am now up and running with Ancestral Sources Version 5.1.3 after following the Bitdefender instructions indentified by keith. I had not experienced any problems with Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2018 until I tried opening Nick's Ancestral Sources,...

Mike Have look a Google which took me to Bitdefender and it appears that my problem (which is affecting other users) is because Bitdefender thinks that Ancestral Souces is Ransomware! Other people are having a bigger problem than me with Bitdefender's "Safe Files" I think that I will downl...

Hi Mike, Must be cracking up, too many interuptions at home today. I should have said it was my BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2018 software as follows: "Feature: Safe Files The application ancestral sources.exe attempted to change a file in a protected folder and was blocked. Protected folder: c:\...

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I have had a long break from using both Family Historian 5 & Ancestral Sources since last used in 2014. Today I planned to refresh my memory and start using Family Historian 5 + Ancestral Sources. My browser (Firefox Quantum version 57.0.4 (64-bit)) blocked my v...

Thank you to David, jbrooks, Anne & Mike for your helpful replies. David, I will buy the certificate Wilson, Pancras v1b, p39 Apr-May-Jun 1935 as I believe that I have found the marriage for James parents which I will be buying at the same time as his birth certificate. jbrooks, I will be down l...

I have two different copies of my wife's deceased father's Short Birth Certificates. Both certificates give his date of birth as 5 May 1935, Registration District: St. Pancras Sub-district: South West. The certificates were issued on the following dates: 1st Certificate issued 18th July 1950 by a De...

Mervyn. Thanks for your information about Mary Jane Shakerley, I have not had chance to look at the census returns, GRO information and the Ancestry public tree you found for me, but will be checking them out in the next few days and updating my information about her and her family. Tim. Thanks for ...

Adrian, Mervyn, Mike, Lorna, Bill & Tim. Thank you for all your replies which have been very helpful. I think that the Cornwall connection is the right place, I have just used www.freebmd.org.uk looking for Mary Jane Shakerley born c1857 without selecting any district or county and only two peop...

Apologies if this is not the correct place for my query. I have found a family I am researching on Ancestry with a place for a birth as follows: 1659462, Cornwall, England. Can somebody please help/explain how to find the place that this birth refers to? I have looked on Google but all I have found ...

Mike

Thanks for your help, I have now found how to record the information in the way that I wanted to achieve. Quite a satisfying feeling after making source citations that record everything I want in them.

Brian

Adrian Thanks for your reply and example for a Death Certificate. Do I need to create something to create/achieve a "Customised Data Entry" ? Sorry if I appear not to understand what you mean, I have not used FH for a while and have not been able to find anything about customising in "...

Peter I found your post when looking through the forum for source citations etc. "When I need a full academic reference, I have something along the lines of General Register Office (GRO), Certified Copy of an Entry of Birth: 22 Dec 1867 Robert Collier (Southport: GRO, 2009), citing King's Norto...

Jim,

Thanks for your comments, very much appreciated.

Brian

Hello Jane, Laura & Mike Thank you for your replies, clearly I have been mislead by comparing other family tree software to my Family Historian software, please accept my apologies for raising this as a query, and for the helpful explanations received from you all. Having not used Family Histori...

Lorna Thanks for your reply, however, you have not answered why the Marriage fact source is given the number 1 in Family Group Sheets, which is at odds with other genealogy software I have used/looked at. Have the creators of Family Historian chosen to make their software perform in this way?. Jim A...

Could somebody please explain why the Marriage source is the first to be recorded in Family Group Sheets? I have looked through the forum but could not find an answer. I was expecting the sources to run in chronological order starting with the Birth source, which is the method used in both Family Tr...

Mike I decided to remove my Family Historian Projects folder from my laptop computer to a new folder in my external hard drive. Then copied my current Project the Sample Project and FH Settings 2014-0907 from the originally saved FH Projects folder on my external hard drive to my laptop computer. I ...

Mike It said "Major Version Mismatch ERROR: Family HistorianVersion 5.0.11.0 does not match Version 5.0.11.0 installed." I have put the leading space back in and rerun Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings Version 2.3 Plugin, Restore all Family Historian Custom and Preference Settin...

David

Thanks for your help re Family Historian website updates, I have saved a copy of "upgrade_fh5_to_5.0.11" to my Family Historian Projects folder, was very easy to do and I wish that I had this knowledge before my computer needed to have Windows 7 reinstalled.

Kind regards

Brian

Mike I have just double checked that numbers were changed using 0 and not the letter 0. The Plugin refers to: Backup Data: C:\Users\Brian\Documents\Family Historian Projects\FH Settings 2014-09-07 Program Data: C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie I have changed the Version which is in the My Documents Folder:...
