Apologies I was using the logical 'or' which does not exclude 'and', whereas I guess the normal use of 'or' does suggest that 'and' is not available.
I agree that both answers should be yes.

At the top of the 1911 household census form you will find a statement part of which is given below. The contents of the Schedule will be treated as confidential. Strict care will be taken that no information is disclosed with regard to individual persons. Now I believe that there is an understandin...

An interesting challenge on a Saturday morning to do this without opening your file. I failed when it came to my wife's adoptive family getting only 5 of 8. Mine were easy Newton, Otter, Wildgoose, Elliott, Fretwell, Baker, Baker, Tivey (Bakers were 1-st cousins once removed) and the 4 in my wife's ...

Many thanks for the information about the Coalmining History Resources. I looked up Raleys to see if they had moved the information and apparently they are in administration so not much help. I will look up the links mentioned.
David

I should clarify that I am not asking about the reliability of the information that we obtain from the internet but rather will it still be there in decades to come. Let me explain with a specific example. Many of my relatives were coal miners and some years ago on the internet I found a collections...

The existence of an age field in the Birth event does suggest that the Fact definition has been altered. Have a look at the Tools>Fact Types. Select Birth from the list and then Edit from the right hand list of buttons. The Fields required near the bottom will probably include a check against Age, u...

Just a passing comment: would the second level relationship pull out this information. I have only one similar instance in my tree where a sister and brother married a brother and sister. The second level relationship reads 'Thomas --- is husband of sister of husband of ---' David Added in edit. I w...

There are a number of mentions here of not storing your data on the same drive as the Windows operating system. As far as I can tell, and I could easily be wrong, no one has mentioned that the standard user folders can be stored anywhere you like (including C:\DATA) and Microsoft provides an officia...

I did read the caveat and it is possible that FH is one of the older 32-bit programs which cannot open or save very long path name files - I don't know. I was not recommending the use of a registry hack simply pointing out for interested parties where it can be found.

David

I didn't know about the change in Long path names in Windows 10. Good to know. I have found an article about it with instructions at https://www.howtogeek.com/266621/how-to-make-windows-10-accept-file-paths-over-260-characters/ If you are uncomfortable accessing the Registry there is a link - Long P...

Clearly not well enough.

That is very strange. I used FreeBMD to look up the reference and got a name. Putting that name into the GRO gives
so there must be two entries with the same index reference.

If he is on the 1939 register he must have died. A quick search on Family Search reveals James Dennis Harrison, Death Registration Oct-Nov-Dec 1986, Blackburn, Birth date 26 Aug 1926, vol. 40, p 105 Which is reasonable evidence that this is the person mentioned in the 1939 Register. David [ Mike Tat...

I agree, it is not the best implementation. There is also some confusion over the latest Windows update as it seems that Microsoft have stopped automatic update, for now, because of issues regarding deletion of personal files. If clipboard history is a problem it can be switched off. Type clipboard ...

Yes. 1809 build 17763.1 I have.

I see the latest update of Windows 10 finally has a simple clipboard history built-in, accessed via <WinKey>+V once it is switched on, The first time you try <WinKey>+V the option to switch it on comes up. David Added in Edit. Noted also that pinned items (pin icon in top right corner of an item) su...

I have about 150 references to the Derbyshire Registrar's index. On a number of these the GRO index refers to Registry Offices in adjacent Counties. For example, I have a location reference in the Derbyshire Registrar's of "Reg Office Chesterfield, Sub District Carburton & Clowne" but ...

You could set up a custom fact with an Auto Create note containing the partial link and then add a data reference to the note in your query.

David

Have you tried using word wrap in your editor? I use notepad++ with the gedcomlexer plugin and word wrap enabled. The gedcom tags are colour coded so there is no confusion as to where a piece of text is located within the file.

Thanks Ann, Good time to remind people who have outstanding downloads, without a current FMP subscription, to download as much as they can, before the changes to FMP’s subscription/download policy come into effect. :D According to the latest email I have, 5/9/2018, the deadline date is 30th Septemb...

At the risk of complicating matters it is worth pointing out that as single row filters the filters suggested by Mike and John do the same thing. However, added to other filters they can have differing effects. For example, if you start by adding all individuals with a specific surname then John's f...

I agree with Mervyn that the problem is with rtf conversion. There was a discussion of the indent about 4 years ago https://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=11171&p=52356#p52343 and in the final post Simon Orde stated that the problem would be resolved and it has, within the report...

For those who have no access to Ancestry (me) the followmg database England, Dorset, Parish Registers, 1538-1936 is available at FamilySearch. Some extra information (perhaps you didn't put it in your post) Additional children: Elizabeth Bap 13 Feb 1803 Thomas Bap 2 May 1813 George Bap 8 Jun 1817 Su...

I'm getting the impression that you are not linking any of these siblings to the parents at this point. If that is the case then you can link them as siblings via the parents and siblings tab in the focus window. This will produce a family record with (parents not known) but with them as children. T...

As Jane says, if the files were recently deleted (30 days) from Dropbox online then they can be recovered. See this link for details
