Without we know something more about the source, we can't tell - I can't imagine that there were only 10 baptisms in the whole of Plymouth for 1909, so it doesn't seem like a parish register (which would generally be regarded as containing primary evidence) - so your first task is to work out what you're looking at and then decide whether - it's created contemporary with the events; - it's an original document and not a later copy; - it's written by someone with direct knowledge of the events; That's something like the UK's definition of primary evidence.

Dennis If this is the original register, then YES it is a primary source for the Baptisms. If it has just the 10 records it would seem more likely to be someone's transcript and therefore a secondary source. Having said that I treat my own transcripts from original documents as being primary, but then Yorkshiremen are never wrong!

I always put this as a primary source and safe the whole baptism page adding a red border round the name it is linked with. Other people tend to just cut the page and save the name alone (I have come across this many times on Ancestry). I don't accept these as a primary source as the page has been cut up. Putting the whole page in includes the source details i.e. Page reference and number which makes it a primary source and thus evidence.

Jackie, 'Descendants by Generation' is a Narrative Report. If in 'Report Options' you have chosen 'All' then every Event/Attribute will be included in the report. If you want to select which Events/Attributes are included/excluded then choose 'List Only' or 'Exclude List', then the 'Edit' button allows you to select a list of Events/Attributes to include or exclude. If on the other-hand you want to edit the Sentences for each Event/Attribute, then you are looking in the wrong place. To change the Sentence structure for all Events/Attributes then use 'Tools > Work with Fact Sets', select the Fact to be changed, and click 'Properties'. Then you can change the sentence 'Template' codes. Click 'Help' for advice. Repeat the process for each Fact you wish to change. If you only want to change the 'Sentence' for specific instances of a Fact, then in the Property Box on the Facts tab, select the specific Fact. Click the 'Sentence' box at the bottom and edit the template codes. This will affect just this one Fact. To revert to the default sentence, just delete all the box contents and the default template from 'Work with Fact Sets' will be restored.

Jeff, when you say you "try to order chronologically", what exactly do you mean? It sounds like you have clicked the "List in Record Order" button. This lists Facts in the order they appear in the Individual Record, Family Record & Child Records respectively. These are identified by the blue, red & silver bullets in the left margin. To display Facts chronologically, click the "Date" column header, which automatically unclicks the "List in Record Order" button. The "Re-order Facts by Date" menu option puts the Facts in Date order within their Record, but the Facts shown in the Facts tab are not all in the same Record. e.g. The "Show Birth/Adoption of Children" menu option includes/excludes Facts from the children's Individual Records. Note that Facts without an explicit Date are sorted according to their "Normal Time Frame" set in "Tools > Work with Fact Sets > Properties". See "Help > Family Historian Help > Using Family Historian > Dialog Boxes > Property Box > Property Box: Facts Tab" for more details. Regards, Mike Tate -----Original Message----- Subject: [FHU] Out-of-sequence events Why is it that when I try to order chronologically in a person's facts window, their marriage and births of children all come at the end, out of sequence with everything else? When I select 're-order facts by date' I get a window which says no out-of-order facts have been found!

FH does not support images on the Free Text pages currently, but you might be able to get something closer to what you want by creating a custom multimedia report and adding the text you want as a note on a multimedia record. Another option is to add in a few blank pages and assuming your book is destined for printing, just slip in a few pages written in a word processor at the end of the process. Personally I use the Multimedia report route as it can easily be added in to the PDF output option.

Charles, I wouldn’t pretend to be an expert on the particular Family Historian features you are using, but I think the answers probably lie in thinking logically about the way any document production process takes place. Scaling a picture is something that happens on screen only and doesn’t alter the true size of the image. If you want a larger/smaller image you have to make one and link that to your document. Your second problem is possibly due to the image sizing and the way that page breaks are determined by the software . As FH isn’t a word processor/desktop publisher, it can only have a good stab at automated production of the output you want and unless you export to PDF you can never guarantee that page breaks will occur in the same place on different printers. This is generally no problem for pure text documents but more difficult if diagrams/pictures are incorporated. In short you may well have to resort to final edits/page setups in a word processing application, especially where images are included.

I am a new user of Family Historian and have found it pretty easy to use and the help has been good.  However, in making a "book," I cannot seem to find how to do two things: First, I would like to zoom in on some photos to make them larger and save that larger photo to add to a free text page in my book.   I don't seem to able to save the larger scale of the picture.   Is there a way to do that? Second, I have been able to link photos and do just about everything with them except add them to a free text page in the book.   The photos always come out on a separate page when I add them as media. Thanks for any help.

Hi Mike, That's what I also believe. I can play with the background and colors, but not with opacity or gradients. I am a quite visual person, with a solid design background. Let's hope FH will work further in these aspects in the future versions..

Although aimed at the General tab Titles the following FHUG advice on Prompts applies elsewhere in Queries: http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:creating_a_query:general_tab Mike Tate -----Original Message----- Sent: 18 August 2014 07:50 To: D C Banks; family-historian-users On 18 August 2014 01:45, D C Banks via <[email protected]> wrote: > But it now prompts me for 'Census Year' 3 times. The query works perfectly. What am I doing wrong? This is normally when FH can not correctly identify the field type for the parameter, so it's possible the expresions you are using with the parameters could be of different types. Sometimes wrapping the parameter in a function can help, so for example wrapping date() around the field on the rows. Jane.

Hi I have written queries in the past where I use a single input parameter a number of times to include/add/exclude/display data and the query has only prompted once for input. The input is 'Census Year', quoted in an 'AgeAt' column and then used in 2 rows to exclude data. But it now prompts me for 'Census Year' 3 times. The query works perfectly. What am I doing wrong? I last wrote a query 6 years ago, old age is catching up! David

Hi Pedro, I don't think FH can go quite that far, but it does have many Diagram colour options. On the Diagram Options > General tab Background Options you can adjust the Background style & Custom Colours or use a Picture image. On the Diagram Options > Boxes tab the Presets > No Box option gives 100% transparency, and the Edit Features allows Custom Colours, etc. However, all the Custom Colours are solid single colours, with no gradient or opacity options.
