As Trevor said, you can enter the stuff in any order, but I would suggest that you first think how you can enter the data and be sure that you haven't missed anyone. That might mean that you start wit

As Lorna says, the original cannot be changed (if you were indeed contemplating that). Different online sites treat "corrections" differently. FamilySearch has only just started accepting "corrections

Yes indeed, to both those bits that I clipped. One of the really frustrating things is those who've taken an Ancestry test and done nothing for their tree. I *assume* that they've just done it for the

I'm sure that it does happen. But frankly Lorna, I can't hold myself responsible for tracking down every moron and idiot who doesn't understand elementary details of checking. As is stated above, most

I got a bit uptight the first time that I saw my photos of my GG-GPs in someone else's tree. And then I thought that, after my death, there's every chance that the originals will be destroyed. So isn'

I have never seen the point of recording spelling variations or transcription errors against an individual. They are not facts about the individual but about the parish clerk or the transcriber. They

Yes - I have a suspicion that you may have missed exactly what FH says - it and Mike Tate say (for example) "Great (x3) Great-Aunt". Note that "Great" appears **twice** in that relationship. It's horr

Interesting to see that the cost of a certificate of (not quite) BMD was 2s 7d in 1884 - *exclusive* of a search fee! According to the Retail Price Index, 2/7 in 1884 would be worth £13.21 today! (See

Thing is that I personally believe that we should be referring to primary and secondary information, not primary and secondary sources. I believe that to be true not because ESM has a system doing tha

It makes perfect sense, Julia. The labels of Primary and Secondary information are just labels - they aim to help us, but the essential thing is to think about what happened to the information between

Jan - I'm fairly certain that you and I would be in 99% complete agreement about how to process a particular source of information. I agree wholly with Thomas Jones and delight in Judy Russell's "It d

Philosophy warning:- I've always thought that there was a little more to it than that, Jan. As Mike says, the Primary / Secondary attribute sits on the link between "fact" and source-record, so it is,

Depends how you do it. I drop all my images downloaded from websites straight into my project folder, so it's one copy only. Yes, *my* scans of family photos sit outside my project folder and I manual

Hardly! I'd get very annoyed if I'd used a family photo in FH, decided I didn't want it any more in FH, so deleted the media record to find that it deleted the original family photo as well! It actual

Generally speaking, Mike, you may say that, I couldn't possibly comment! More to the point, while it's possible to screenshot baptisms etc, it sure ain't feasible to screen shot a multipage will witho
