    3. Pamela, This is where Source Records come into their own. Link the Multimedia file to its own dedicated Source Record, and give the Source Record a meaningful name. The name you use may be similar to the Media filename, or can be more descriptive. The Media filename now becomes less important because the Source Record will hold the details. In the Source Record you can add as much description of the Media file as you like. This may include full details of the Address and Place of a photo, what or who is in the photo, when it was taken, why it was taken, etc, etc. The Source Record can then be linked to every relevant Fact, such as Residence, or Marriage if it is a wedding photo, etc. The same technique applies to all other Multimedia, and there is much advice on this topic in the FHUG http://www.fhug.org.uk/cgi-bin/index.cgi Knowledge Base. Also the free Ancestral Sources supports the above technique for Census and Baptism, and shortly Marriage events (Birth, Death, Burial, Probate coming later).

When I then view this in Family Historian Multimedia the title is HOUSES 31 Queens Road. I have other folders CENSUS, DC, BC MC and this wording comes first in the title. This is how I have saved most of my photos and I was just wondering whether to change the titles or could anyone please give me some suggestions. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FAMILY-HISTORIAN-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
