Sorry that you are having problems with your FH Project. I’m sure it can be recovered but it would help to have more details about exactly what commands you are using and what the FH displays are

Hello Steve, I am using the same method, with separate entries for the Birth , Marriage and Death. The particular book is where the data is found and the index data is the citation. Tom

Thanks, Mike. Very helpful. Steve.

Hi Mike Many thanks for taking the trouble to respond regarding my FH project. I have had a Support Ticket 841418 response yesterday, and this morning from Ros at Calico Pie, some questions to

I'm returning to FH after a long hiatus. I used to set Flags on Individuals to indicate the presence (or absence) of Census entries. I know that Box Conditions can be set to show icons where a

You could, of course, continue using 'CensNotxx' or 'CensProbxx' Flags. In the 'CensProbxx' cases I assume you have a Census Event with a Source Citation, but its credibility is in doubt. So
