    1. Re: [FHU] Entering from electoral role

    3. A caution for FH users who (like me) are relatively inexperienced at using Electoral Rolls -- often the qualifying address that gave someone the right to vote is not the same as the property at which they resided. It pays to scroll up to the top of the image and read the column headers, so that if you plan to enter a residence fact, you are looking at the proper column in the Electoral Roll. I have collected quite a few images, but I haven't yet determined which fact to use to enter the ownership of the qualifying property when it is not the same as the abode. I do want to keep track of those addresses as well, because they can be valuable clues about a family's migration or to identify that this is the individual you want in a group of same-name search results.
