Thanks Mike,
I have since seen that this topic was raised some time ago. I think I can, with patience, work out how to achieve my goal following your instructions as well as earlier posts.
Thanks for your time.
Derek.

Re: fact type with blue arrow
Thank you both. Lorna, I think you may have hit the mark. The father, and the individual I am sorting out the facts on, was indeed the informant. I will investigate the topic link you suggest. But I also attach a screen shot to show what, to me, seemed amiss. That is, some children are named "B...

fact type with blue arrow
Help please, I seem somehow to have done something wrong. When listing the facts for an individual, his children have a blue arrow by the side. I understand this to be a witness fact. What I had input was that this individual was the father and thus should be shown as such with the relevant child's ...

Record transcription
Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone has encountered an entry on Find My Past that has a transcription from a Registrars Birth Index (Derbyshire 1883) with no link to a BMD record. Is it therefore possible to obtain a birth certificate (and will one exist) with just the reference number and Register o...

Re: Individual index cards
Brilliant! As said earlier, I've been away from this for what seems ages, but clearly there are now other ways for me to look at. Thanks for this, I will now look and see how I can use plugins.

Re: Individual index cards
Thank you all for your replies. Essentially I'm looking for a quick, convenient way to list my ancestors and have to hand what items of research are missing. ie, have I checked all the census returns that are applicable, or have I ordered all relevant certificates etc? Having a hard copy like this w...

Individual index cards
Good afternoon all, back after too long away from my family research. I am wondering is there any way to print out individual records which would show what information is already recorded in FH and thus what still needs to be found. Ideally printed to index cards if possible. Essentially just trying...

Re: Certificates
Just a line to reinforce my grateful thanks to all who helped me track down the correct BMD entry. I have today received a copy of the required certificate and can now find and order other needed certificates to move my research on. Thanks again,
Derek

Re: Certificates
Gosh!! Thanks to you all. I hadn't taken on board the point that parents names were not included until 1911. However, I do know William Llewellyn's parents names via other family members informing me (a copy of a very old photograph exists that others were able to name the people in it) plus I have ...

Re: Certificates
My grateful thanks to all. Ok, here goes...indeed there are listings for William Llewelyn (one L) from Carmarthen, but the names of the parents are not correct. So, a search with Llewellyn (two Ls) is still not fruitful. Search including the mother's maiden name (Evans) still produces nothing. Even ...

Hello all and apologies for a very late response to your help so far. Just to say that builders had to be called in to help with water damage (humidifiers going all day and night - not much fun). However, I digress. As suggested I attach the best copy of one of the certificates I've been given. Just...

Hello all, I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me. I've been given some poor and faded photocopies of some birth, marriage and death certificates for some ancestors but would like to obtain my own (and better) copies. The problem is that the individuals cannot be found when I search via Fin...

Help please. I'm getting myself tied up in knots regarding a "correct" way to record/enter sources in V6. After having to put aside my research for over a year, I've returned and upgraded to V6. As the number of records for my family is relatively small compared to many, I've decided to st...

Happy New Year all, thinking of upgrading to Version 6 from 5. Has anyone used the booklet "Where to record it in Family Historian v6" and if so, does it contain significant info that the same booklet for v5 doesn't have? Also, is there another booklet available called "Getting the mo...

Thanks to all. Brian, the document I have is just a programme to install one of my relatives to become a master.

Greetings, can anyone suggest how to record documents I've discovered that relate to a relative's membership to the Freemasons. Have scanned them (the documents not the relative) but not sure how to incorporate the information into FH4.
Many thanks in advance
