Trevor, I wholeheartedly disagree with you, but will defend your right to do what you do if it’s good enough for you. Myself, I use ESM-style citations so that I know exactly where something

@Mike Explaining my method some more ... In the Property Box I do not have the Sources section in view (have clicked the 'yellow scroll' button at the top), so never use that facility. I do not use

@Trevor Now you have confused me! Initially, you said: “I don't use sources or citations as such. But I do download source images wherever available and link them to the people concerned.” But

Thank you everyone for contributing. @uhkh3tsccmz9 David For census images I use Ancestral Sources to record the census year, census place, names ages occupations and places of birth for the people in

For me, the most important thing there is the understanding - actually writing the citation in any specific format is of lesser importance, providing you've reached that understanding and have stored

We're often told that the reason we should cite sources is that we can find them again if we need to, or point other researchers to the same source. That's valuable, but there's an even more

I started to capture the Ancestry. Co.uk hint image URL and as you say it changes over time. Now at least 1/3 of my Ancestry URL go nowhere.

It's perfectly possible to add all the relevant data to an "image" as Metadata. I can, and do, add a load of stuff to the IPTC Metadata of a JPG. Not least because it might sit for ages in a folder

Trevor, OK, let us take an example or two. Pick any person in your Project who has both a Birth Event and a Death Event recorded. Can you easily corroborate from the attached images where you got

Presumably though Trevor you do caption your images so that you know that a Census Schedule is the 1881 Census for Huddersfield and not the 1891 one for Knowsley? I have found that for some of the

Mike, sorry, I don't really understand your question. c99% of my source images are of 'official' public records such as census, baptisms, marriages, burials, wills etc. This topic, and many similar

There are also a couple of compact diagrams available for download from the Knowledge base https://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=fhugdownloads:diagramtypes

Trevor, As long as you can answer the following question for any fact then your method works for you: “What corroborates that this happened on that Date at that Place for this person?

I guess the Diagram you want to print is about the same complexity as your screenshot with 4 generations of ancestors. One option is to use the Focus Window that opens when you first open

Free Commander XE is much better than File Explorer in that it has two panes similar to the old Windows Explorer.

I don't use sources or citations as such. But I do download source images wherever available and link then to the people concerned. And make good use of flags, and the associated icons in diagrams.

Hi David, As I mentioned to Lorna, I haven't been able to duplicate my problem after adding a number of new sources and citations so figure it must have just been me being brain dead. I do prefer the

Hi Lorna, Thanks for your response and the explanation. I'm not sure what happened, but I haven't been able to duplicate the problem. I've entered a number of new sources and citations and all seems

Jane, thanks for the links. I appreciate your response and I've found my answer. Alan

Thank you Mike, I shall try to get down to this this weekend. Don’t apologise about File Explorer, I know I shall have to get to grips with it now I’m going on to a windows machine. I do not find
