On the keyboard I prompt the windows button +shift+S and use the cursor to cover the whole area I want printed. Unfortunately it can only be done on what is visible on the screen. If I want more than is shown on the screen I load the copy onto my photo software then add a bigger area to what had bee...

That would be for only recent baptisms but not from Parish records. I don't even know who attended mine but I have a certificate which listed my god parents. Parish records don't list these.

I have added witnesses to weddings via Ancestral Sources
Of all the baptism records I have come across I have never seen a list of witnesses

I have just been for a walk and gave some thought to your problem. When you are on FTM do any of the names have a green leave next to them? If not then that could mean the tree is not sync to ancestry. On the top right there is an ikon allowing you to sync to ancestry. Prompt this then your tree sho...

I am currently on FTM version 2019. Have always done this that way since I first had FTM before FH I have just done a test for a 1901 census. I opened the census image. On the top right there is a Save option. I opened this and chose download to computer and ignored ther shoebox option which I have ...

Yes I have FTM and it syncs with Ancestry. I download images from Ancestry opening them in my photo software (Corel) then from there save them into the appropriate folder in FH Projects. Then go to the name the image refers to and add it to that persons name
Victor

First I like to confirm FTM syncs with Ancestry.
When I download images from Ancestry I save them in FH Project file. Never FTM
FH is my default tree which I always work on. From time to time I copy the gedcom part to FTM and sync it to Ancestry

I put the child under the mother's name with no spouse. If she then marries then her spouse name will be under a separate tab as if he was her second husband. If the husband happens to be the father of her child then it could be listed as the couple's child. My grandfather was illegitimate and bapti...

I rotate the census (on my photo software) such that it is vertical when I do narrative reports. Once I am on the report I move the image to make it bigger and more readable. This is done on Word not PDF

Victor

What I do is use FTM to find links to Ancestry. From time to time I copy FH tree to FTM and upload it to Ancestry.
Could it be you haven't uploaded your tree from FTM to Ancestry. That is when one gets hints on FTM

Victor

If you use Ancestral Sources the image wont appear in the focus window

Victor

I have no problems using the register on Ancestry. When I am looking at a name the register appeears on a list of options alongside the person
I have never used FMP on sub (e.g. Ancestry) is enough for me

Victor

I too save reports as RTF documents then save them as a word document before editing it. This way I move images to how I would like them. I move census images to the full page so they can be readable

Victor

I have a photo software and open it on there which allows me to rotate it. I do this a lot with census images so that when I have a narrative report the image is viewed in full from the top of the page to the bottom and thus readable, Having the image across the page makes it hard to read

Victor

This is the reply I got from support FreeBMD

'One could speculate on how this situation could come about, for example the father was not the mother's husband, but being a different mother would be a remote possibility'.

Best thing one can do is check the local register office

Victor

I have sent a message to support@freebmd asking if these two names can be verified or if there was a reason for them

Let's see if there is a respond and explanation

Hammond Harry R Hall Halifax 9a 492
Johnson Harry R Hall Halifax 9a 492

Victor

The alternative is they are both different families. Only by obtaining the birth certificates can thius be verified. Checking the Hammond marriage. They were married in Norfolk. I have had a look at Yorkshire BMD but Halifax has not been transcribed. Could the FreeBMD made a transcription error? May...

Could be the mother is a different Hall. Two sisters?

Victor

I download census images and save them under my census folder, sub folders in separate years. Once done I use AS to add the details to FH

Victor

It puzzles me on how he manages to find the time to do all this.
Obviously no one can do without him.
Look farward to the next 20,000

I have never seen a brides mother (or grooms mother for that matter) on a marriage certificate unless they were a witness. AS simply adds the mother's name as it should be. I always accept that as it confirm the connections. The names on the certificate is what is shown on there when the image is ad...

How about adding a fact named 'business' or whatever you want to call it.
You can add any fact you like. I have added one called 'newspaper reports'

Victor

I would use St.Barnabas Church in the address part not the place name part.
Place name...St.Paul;s, Bristol, Somerset, England
Address ...St.Barnabas Church
Victor

Ah I see just checked AS it is there. I had used FH Tools didn't know it was about AS

Sorry my error
Victor

I have just checked 'Tools' there is no options listed as suggested by Nick
