Ahh, MAIN toolbar. I often forget to look there when a window is open. Thank you.
Just to be clear, the instruction to “select diagram” can be ignored.

Re: What is a permanent record number?
Thanks. I had found those and was confused. Guess I’ll add permanent record number to the list of unknowns and move on. Unless, you know of a good reason to use them. One online resource suggested they were used by Family Search/LDS.

Using Custom ID Type
I use Custom IDs with individual, source, and place records. My understanding of Custom IDs, from reading FHUG entries and FamilyHistorian help files, is as follows. - Custom IDs are alphanumeric fields. - I can have an an unlimited number of Custom IDs for all but place records. - All Custom IDs ca...

Re: Simple Citations Templates for Family Historian 7
Simple solution . . . and it worked! Thanks.It seems that moving all the defined Fields into the Source Record offers the same Footnote, Bibliography, etc.
All the same Field details are recorded but adopting the Method 1 'splitter' strategy with an empty Citation.

Re: Simple Citations Templates for Family Historian 7

Re: Import Census Templates?
I meant to find the repository of templates for download in the first place. I should have included “download” in my search term, rather than simply “Ancestor Sources templates.”I searched the Ancestral Sources forum . . .

Is there a repository of user-developed Census Templates that can be downloaded and imported. I searched the Ancestral Sources forum and could not find mention of such, but recall having read that user-developed templates were available.

Re: Invalid Date Field
I see. I was confusing the Census Template with the Source Template. I will read up on the AS Census Template and decide on next steps. Guess I didn't think I would have keep creating new templates . . . guess I don't have complete grasp on the concept. Thanks again.

Re: Invalid Date Field
Thanks. (1) I'm confused. What is a census template? Is it the rich text grid? If so, yes I did create it. I don't know if there are other formats for Clerical Surveys with different columns but if there are, this then allows you to create further templates for Clerical Survey Record with different ...

Re: Invalid Date Field
Ahhh -- I missed something in my initial post. The " mystery text" I had noticed was not in the Date, but rather in the Year: see earlier screenshot. Downloading 7.7.7 did not solve the problem.
Where does the Year information come from?
