David, Although given better structural definitions in GEDCOM v7.0 the concepts of ‘Place’ and ‘Address’ have not changed in GEDCOM specifications for decades. What is more important is

Doug, 1. Whether they are a problem is somewhat subjective. They do no harm, especially if they have no text or 0 Links, but they consume a small amount of space and may be a distraction. 2.

Thanks for the clarification. I am not definitely going to do this, but reading the information on Gedcom 7 from the LDS I think it is implying that ‘Place’ is more like a legal entity,

Hello I am in the process of cleaning my FH project, and I notice that in the Records window for 'Notes' there are many records with no Description and/or links = 0' 1. Are these a problem? 2. What

Thank-you Nick. I suspected it was to do with the recording method, but didn't know where to change it. Regards Doug Sent from Outlook

Doug, Have you migrated your AS settings from old PC to new PC (as you presumably did for FH)? See FHUG Knowledge Base ‘Ancestral Sources Migration

Hi Doug If you're expecting the Source field not to be greyed out then that suggests you usually use 'recording method 2'. The default (and recommended) setting for Ancestral Sources

Hello, I am having problems using the Census input for Ancestral Sources on my new laptop. It's operating system is Windows 11. I have downloaded the latest version of AS and the problem I am

Hi David, The first thing to do is use Tools > Work with Data > Addresses and increase the number of Columns to 10 (or whatever you think you need). You must decide how columns need to be reserved

When you are in Focus under any name. Prompt your facts tab it will then list where you can put the place name and address Victor

Hi All I would like to add the place to all my address entries. It must be my ‘senior moment’, but I can’t work out how to set this up in the plugin. Can anybody help please. Thanks

You’re all making my family look quite tame! I think the most I’ve got in any one family is three (all on one tab). However, I’ve got one family where every daughter in one particular generation

My grandfather was baptised George Henry Briggs in 1862 with no father's name on. His birth certificate also had no father's name on. In 1865 his mother married Charles Markham and George was known as

I am also in this increasingly large boat. My great-great grandfather, William Challis, married Esther Markham in 1860. However, the 1861 census shows an Abraham Markham living with Esther’s

I too have a similar scenario. My 2x GGM had 8 children from 1834-1857, all of them illegitimate, none of them with “useful” middle names & none of them with a father named on a birth certificate

Like Adrian, I have a person who had multiple illegitimate children and have taken a similar approach of having them all on one tab. If (and it is probably unlikely!) I find the father for one (or

Usually I put both children on *one* tab with an unknown father because in my own head "unknown" means exactly that and covers the possibility that there are actually two different fathers. But

Mike Thanks. This is the conclusion I had come to but I can find no more evidence as yet to know which way to go. Andrew

If you believe the children had separate fathers then use two ‘Spouse’ tabs to emulate the real world scenario. If you believe the children had the same father then use just one tab.

Perhaps a bigger problem is where the youngest, or junior, member of a family is actually the illegitimate child of an elder daughter! What do you tell the family? Alastair Moir
