Re: Will Ancestral Sources Ever Be Finished?
I'm immensely grateful for it in its current state, and am happy to wait for Nick to find more time to work on it as and when he can. After all, he can hardly be making a fortune from software he gives away! In the meantime, there's no data entry that I can't do using FH -- I just need to take a lit...

'buried affidavit made'?
'Made up from Visitation' is part of the incumbent of the parish indicating the period for which the records relate. The 'visitation' was when the bishop turned up (annually, usually) essentially to check that the parish was being properly run.

Even if the detailed citation formats in Evidence Explained are mostly US-centric, the first two chapters (on Evidence Analysis, and the Fundamentals of Citation) are excellent guides to working with sources, as is Shown Mills website at http://www.evidenceexplained.com . There's a great diagram of ...

FYI, I'm running and developing GenQuiry on Windows 8 now -- the only issue I've found so far is the oddity with taskbar icons noted on the Genquiry website.

Disaster and Recuvary (sic)
Sorry to correct you , Mike, but in Windows 8, the 'File History' facility is distinct from System Backup and needs to be turned on explicitly. Once it is, it works in the background.

Confused by GRO Index Entry
Perhaps Hyacinth had been married twice before, so came trailing a maiden name and two married names.
You'll only know for sure by ordering the certificate.

A date (including date range) would also be invaluable for different names/types of name.

Ancestral Sources for 1911 census in Welsh
A forlorn hope probably but... Has anyone done the work for the 1911 census template to include the relevant Welsh words in the drop-down lists (relationship, marital status etc.). I have quite a number of census entries to input that were completed in Welsh, and I'd like the autotext function to g...

No problem -- I can live with it, Jane -- or rather, adjust it using NoSquint to a less bright shade of browny-orange.

johnga, I'm not entirely clear what you expect a user group to do, other than -- as has been done -- advise you on what is possible with the program as it currently stands?

Clearing the cache was the first thing I tried, Mike.
Can't swear, but I suspect the appearance coincided with the latest Firefox upgrade (I'm on 16.0.2)

because Blue wouldn't fit in with the colour scheme, and so would stick out like a sore thumb?

Chris, I should add that I'm grateful to you for taking this on. I'll go back and check on my votes in a day or so when the dust has settled.

I'm finding the current state of the wish list most confusing -- I'm going through looking at what I want to vote on and finding some of them are CLOSED or DUPLICATE when I look at the detail... Is there any way to reflect the status in the title?

What is the Purpose of Plugins?
I completely agree with Nick -- if, in the next release, Calico Pie just provided functionality that plug-ins already provided, there's be no point in buying it. I want them to concentrate on the stuff that plug-ins can't do -- rich text is one excellent example, and the data changes that Jane menti...

Recent versions of Word will edit an html file just as Merenwen described. I wouldn't use it to generate html, because the html it generates is dreadful, but it's perfectly adequate to change colours, apply highlights and such like. Just don't change the file type when you save it! It might be worth...

I also go to Herber first when in doubt. As Jane says, The Genealogist's Internet goes out of date quickly. Although there's an attempt to keep the links cited up to date at http://www.spub.co.uk/tgi4/links.php , that page doesn't include any new useful links. Don't discount http://www.genuki.org.uk...
