Occupation icons in Diagrams

I use icons in Diagrams to show all sorts of things - Immigration, BMD's, Occupations, etc. Looking over one family of Miners/Colliers in the Yorkshire mines, I noticed that there was no icon for one who had been a Collier . The Expression I have always used to generate the required icon is:- =IsTru...

Re: UK Marriages post 2000

You should thank your lucky stars that you are not tracing family in New South Wales. On-line BMD availability is as follows (as are physical copies) No Birth indices after 1922 -100 years No Death indices after 1992 - 30 years No Marriage Indices after 1972 - 50 years These are all, apparently, bas...

Re: Funding review for Australian TROVE website!

I was well aware that TROVE was in the sights of the Politicians, but was unaware of this petition.
One more signature on it.
I have used it extensively and local historians have also been making themselves heard.

Re: Help decoding census writing

I can't decipher the writing in the 1881 Census, but the following should answer the Harriet/Mary mystery.

Harriet Lark(e) died Q1 1873 (Norwich Death 4b 68)
Edward Marsham Lark married Mary Bateman Q2 1877 (Norwich Marriage 4b 255)

Re: Breaking a SOURCE into smaller elements

Worked perfectly. I had to change to "NSW BMD" and the relevant bits (thus learning a very small bit about LUA programming), but thanks again to you both.

Hello there

I have used the following Edit to the Family Member Data Reference to achieve what you are looking for:

Change %INDI.NAME%
%INDI.NAME:ADORNED_FULL% (=LifeDates2()) is =Relationship(FileRoot(),%INDI%) of =FileRoot()

I seem to remember a question about this some time back, but can't find it. I have a Tentative flag set against a death date for an ancestor which has now been confirmed. How do I delete the Tentative Flag, If I hit Delete it removes the Fact. From memory, it was a simple procedure. Regards Roger
