I have only just become aware of this plugin, following its mention in the "Change Specific Fact - Error on run" thread. What a useful tool. I have already fixed several date typos in my project that I might otherwise never have discovered. I have a number of individuals though, where I ha...

Have a look at Jane's Gedmatch custom fact: details and an explanation in an article linked from the knowledge base - DNA>Recording DNA Matches>Useful External Links>Recording DNA Matches in Family Historian. The matched individuals and MRCA(s) are recorded in the fact note and easily retrievable vi...

Yes, instead of using data ref {%FACT.NOTE2%} use template code {note} and the Note text should appear in full. I did not double-check the {note} code as the OP, Phillip, said he had tried it. However, that should work. Just as an example, almost the whole page of text in the attachment, following ...

I have not experienced this issue and have some long notes attached to various facts, but I tend to individually customise the fact sentence for each fact where I want to include a note attached to the fact, and just use {note} in the customised fact sentence template, rather then referencing it via...

That is a much more elegant solution Mike! All working as expected. Thank you again

Thanks Mike, you are right that I would prefer to keep the formatting in the notes.

I will have a go at copying and pasting a tab into the expression tomorrow, and will also report the issue to CP.

Thank you again for your help.

Thanks again Mike. I have it working now, after a fashion as I'll explain. But I never would have done it without your help, because I couldn't get your expression to work at first either. It turns out to be due to the fact that I used tabs between the label and the text field in my fact notes. Havi...

Ah, thanks Mike. I did think that referencing the correct note might be the problem, but wasn't sure how to resolve it. However, there are two or more Gedmatch facts for many individual records, because as expected, my brother and I both share matches to many individuals, and I create a separate fac...

I have been using Jane's Gedmatch custom event and query for some time, and have a DNA helix icon set against diagram boxes for DNA matches to myself or other primary links (the person whose DNA test is matched against by the individual in the diagram box) using the expression %INDI.EVEN-GEDMATCH% a...

An email address beginning with "archives" may not exist for every force. If you have a clear and detailed image and approximate date, it may be possible to identify or narrow down the force concerned from details of the uniform, such as collar insignia other than the numbers, the shape of...

However, unlike 1911, in 1841 the people did not enter their own census details but they were compiled by an enumerator. Agreed Mike, but Sallion asked if anyone else had come across deceased people appearing in a census and how they recorded it. Mick and I both gave our opinions in answer to that ...

I had similar on a 1911 census schedule. I assumed it happened because the father had to enter the number of children born in the marriage, and irrespective of the number still alive, perhaps assumed he had to name all those who were born, still alive or not. I amended the fact sentence to include n...

When viewing the household image (schedule) on FMP, there is a link to additional information/address or a similarly named button (I'm not at my PC right now to check exactly what the link button is called). Clicking on it will open a "filmstrip" of additional related document images, whic...

A bit of googling found this, from Hansard, debated on Monday 27th February 1928: Mr. C. EDWARDS asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that children entering the elementary schools or when seeking employment can, by filling up a prescribed form, obtain a birth certificate...

This is another - my grandmother's, issued for the purposes of the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901 when she was thirteen.

The declaration on the reverse, completed and signed by her father, stated that it was "required to enable her to go into service".

I am using Jane's GEDmatch fact and query, albeit with a minor amendment to the query and a modified fact note, with additional fields and an autotext template grid for the matching chromosome information, where it is available. https://www.taubman.org.uk/family/wp/2019/03/13/recording-dna-matches-i...

I have two similar examples in my tree, one involving my great-grandparents. In both cases, one party to the marriage was still married to someone else, despite declaring to the contrary, rendering the marriages bigamous. They married again after the death of the "inconvenient" party, not ...

I'm also a splitter, and although I use Ancestral Sources a lot, when entering several generic sources of the same type, particularly relatively simple sources from the same register (by that I mean with fairly concise and similar information in each record, that is easy to transcribe and alter by e...

With the risk that I am missing something obvious, and bearing in mind that I only use generic source records, this is how I record BMD sources. Title: Birth (or Death) SMITH, Arthur 1905 Q2 Bingham, Nottinghamshire or for marriages, Title: Marriage SMITH, Albert & JONES, Ada 1925 Q2 Basford, No...

I agree with Nick. I have about half a dozen deaths in my project where there is an inconsistency of several days between the death certificate and the death date inscribed on a gravestone, or recorded elsewhere. It is impossible to know which might be correct, although depending on the circumstance...

I use Jane's GEDmatch fact and query, together with diagram box icons for shared DNA matches and most recent common ancestors. I keep relevant information in the fact note, and the query result allows the standard "how related" function to be run against matches to show the connecting line...

I don't use templated sources, but have you edited the source titles for each type of source in the individual source setting pages for each type of source being created? e.g. from AS menus>Tools>Options and edit the source title options templates for census, birth, baptism, marriage etc. as require...

Layout C is exactly how I use FH, except that I have the property box docked with the focus window open, but floating with the diagram window. I have the citation window of similar size and position as in your image, but only open it when I need it. I also have FH set to resize to the width of the p...

You can create a template with the desired headings included, but I don't think it is possible to autofill the registration district and sub-district locations, as that would require associated input fields to be written into the AS BMD input screens, as otherwise AS has no knowledge of that informa...

Thank you Tim, that does help greatly. There is also a reference in the BHO section relating to Charlton Adam, which I have previously quoted sections from within my project, although not in relation to tithes or inclosure. I had also referred to several books that I have copies of, which contain se...
