I'm not sure yet unfortunately...… I have an Electoral Roll / Poll Book for 1853, so I tried putting that in the 1832 option (as it does not give an 1853 option). Doesn't work because when you change the Census Date to 1853 it won't let you store the entry! Is there any way around this? As you know,...

Thanks Mike and Mervyn for your time on this. I plucked up the courage and have got it working I think. When I select Census and look at Census Country, the Electoral Register is now an option and if I select it I now have the four options in the Census Year....so I presume with your help I have cra...

Thanks Mike, I was trying to download in the wrong area. I have downloaded and I think that I have imported the templates because when I go into AS Census Options and look at the Country Option, I see the UK Electoral Register as an option and if then look at the Year and select, it populates the Ce...

Hello everyone, Thanks for all your previous help. A small question....I would like to use the above template but when I go to download it and save the xml file in the \Ancestral Sources\Settings\ folder, a message pops up saying I do not have the relevant authority to save it in this folder! Am I d...

Hello again, Just an update......I removed vers 1.4 and reinstalled 1.5. On my laptop (screen resolution, 1600 x 900), it appears exactly the same as in vers 1.4. Too big for the screen, I cannot see the bottom of the window and I can just drag the margins to make it wider but not narrower or smalle...

As an addendum, I can drag the window around, but I cannot see the bottom of the window and unlike Mike, I cannot even adjust the width. Hope it helps.

Hello again,

If it helps, my laptop screen size is 17" diagonal, 15"width and 9" high, out comes the Pythagoras! So it is not a small screen.

Hello again,

It is version 1.4, I downloaded it from the FH Website page this morning.

Thanks for both of your replies. I have tried dragging the edges with the mouse (resizing) but nothing happens I'm afraid. I am using FH 6.2.7, Win 10 and HP Laptop. I have been using FH since version 3 in 2009, I was just wondering if anyone has an example of putting on a new record from Enlisting ...

Hello Helen, I, like many others I'm sure are starting to find extra information on our Ancestors and I was searching for something that can handle Military records on a more streamlined basis. I downloaded a little while ago (I think it was Mike Tate's Military Tab) to try to get a bit of order int...

Thanks Jane and Mike for the information. I used the Fh6 export option for my first tree and omitted Living and Private flags, but I was not sure about the Media file links option! it is not quite the correct process but it was my first try and it did work. Mike, I did have a look at your TNG instru...

Hello All, The other day, (rightly or wrongly) I decided to have a go at building a website and after a little while and a bit of digging around I decided to buy the TNG website solution. FH6 is (and will always be at the moment) my master software solution. So I will be exporting to TNG but not rev...

Thanks for your suggestions.....in general, the occupation is the same as expected. I think I added most of the marriages via Ancestral Sources, so I already have a Source, but the actual marriage date is entered for the deceased father's occupation etc. Most of these discrepancies come from marriag...

Hello All, This is probably very obvious......but I cannot make my mind up how to handle the entries for the above situation. I am tidying up my database and I have come across situations where I have an individual's chronological information from birth to burial, but then I have say a couple of occ...

Thanks to Jane and Mike for your quick response and ideas. I'll try the second option and let you know how I go.

The help on this forum never ceases to amaze me...….Thanks again.

Hello all, Just a quick question...… My wife has decided to try to find out the past inhabitants of our house.....Is there any way that FH can handle this? A tree by house and not family? Would love to know if FH can handle this. If not is there another package out there that can? Best wishes, PP

Thanks Mike,

I appreciate your help.

I'll give it a go.....

Cheers

Hello All, Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to everyone on the forum. I was wondering if somebody could help me please? Somehow, I have managed to accumulate two identical named Repositories! I wish to combine the smallest repository with the largest repository. Is there an easy w...

Thank you to Lorna, Victor and Mike for your responses. I'll give it a shot and try and set it up like the AS interface option. I use a snipping tool for the BMD qtr info actual church records and attach via AS, works very well. But attaching other info manually (newspaper clips etc) I seem to have ...

Hello, I wonder if some nice person can help me please? I have started to browse on line sources for other activities (court, gaol and paper notices) and have now set up an event called Criminal Activity against one of my ancestors and I have attached two media items to it.....one a paper notice and...

Thanks Lorna,

Tried your suggestion and it worked first time.....will use it for all the other convictions I need to enter.

Thanks

Hello, I was wondering if any of the Advanced Users on here could give me an idea of how to log a criminal event against an individual. I have recently stumbled on quite a few family convictions!!!! Date, age of person involved, location, sentence and type of crime, committal place. I was thinking o...

Hello again Mike, Sorry for the delay.....I have been away. I have tried to carry out your instructions, but probably need a bit more clarification on some minor points. See below. Where I ask questions below, please answer them all. In the Witnessed Events Query, are all the Witness cases just for ...

Hi Mike, Thanks again for you help. I have run the Witness Query in my main database and I have 38 individual records with one individual having 4 Witness Events. There are no Custom Witness Attributes Defined in the main database that I can see, also no Birth or Death Informant Attributes. I looked...
