Re: Fact Assessment ie census

The Census setting I referred to is in Ancestral Sources which is a programme specifically designed to assist with entering data into FH - census, b, m, d, etc - with a minimum of fuss. This can be downloaded from the FHUG Home page.
Glad you solved your problem.

Re: Fact Assessment ie census

Gail
Assuming you are using Ancestral Sources to enter your Census data, you can change the Assessment in AS as follows:
In AS
Tools>Options>Census settings (Drop-down under General settings)
Under Sources, change Citation Certainty to Primary Evidence

Hope that helps

Cheers

I have been using V5.1 with the 1939 Register. It is very useful for adding the actual birth date to people who you only had an estimated year for.
Thanks

Re: Change from Flags to Expressions for Diagram Icons

Mike and David

Thanks, fellows.

I can now create new Source Types to accommodate BMD Indices - that works. Thanks David

Mike. Your summary is correct. The new expressions will do exactly as I wanted.

Again, thanks to you both.

Re: Change from Flags to Expressions for Diagram Icons

David Exactly - AS uses Birth Type (plus the rest), and does not know where the information has come from. I don't know if this can be changed. Mike I use AS to enter all events (B,M,D,Bap,Bur,Cen), which then creates a Source with the relevant Type at the start of the name. However, I may not nece...

Rather than go ahead with this, I then took note of your upgrade to 2.7.1 and downloaded it. The result was SOURCE Standard >Birth, Census, Death, Occupation: NO <Custom Facts>...

I have used this Plugin before to change Christenings to Baptisms, and now wish to change Residence to Census in one case as per Example 2. Unfortunately I only appear to have 'Census' and 'Death' in the drop-down for Standard facts in both Source and Target. I have checked and everything appears to...

Re: Change from Flags to Expressions for Diagram Icons

The Source Type does not tell me that I used a certificate or parish register for the data entered into AS.

I have now got Expressions in play, basically using David's suggestions.

Thanks, Gents I will take all on board. At present I only record in Notes of GRO B, GRO M, GRO D or AS inputs whether or not I have the relevant certificate.

The Plugin "List All Citations for a Source" will do as it suggests, and give you a list of all the places where that Source is used.
