Hello Mike, Thank you so much for your advice. I am slowly working my way through "Getting the most from Family Historian". I haven't yet read the section on Sources but should be doing so in the next few days. Yes, I have every intention of persisting with Family Historian as it is clearly an excellent program. One of the main criteria I was looking for when I decided to move on from my old "Generations" program was to have a window that displayed a family unit (i.e. a couple with their parents arranged above them and children below) and the ability then to navigate from here vertically (rather than laterally) through the family tree - as was the case with "Generations". This is, of course, what I have found in the Focus Window of Family Historian. Apart from Legacy, this is the only other program I came across which had this arrangement. I haven't yet joined the User Group but will be doing so when I have mastered the basics of the program.

If you have not discovered it already, then do join (it is free) the Family Historian User Group (FHUG) at http://www.fhug.org.uk/cgi-bin/index.cgi It is full of advice, expert forums, free utilities, etc, etc - it is run by Jane. Do refer to the Help within FH via its Help buttons. Do take the time to work through the book "Getting the Most From Family Historian 4" via the menubar Help. Answering some of your points... FH has a number of different Record types (Individual, Family, Source, Note, Multimedia, Repository, etc) in accordance with the GEDCOM standard. Each of these Record types has its own unique Record ID. To navigate down the Records you usually start with an Individual and in the Property Box open the yellow Source pane. Particularly on the Facts tab (but also the All tab) select any item and if it has a linked Source it appears in the Source pane. Click the yellow triangular Go To Source Record button to open the Source Record. >From there you can open its Repository Record and Multimedia Records if >any. To navigate up the Records, first select any Record (say a Source Record), then use menubar View > Record Links. That will list all Records that link to the selected Record, and you can Go To any one of them. Regards, Mike Tate
