After editing (to remove as much black as possible) and printing off all my hundreds of census images, I've just realised that if I'd saved them as tiff images instead of jpegs, I could have highlighted the entries I'm interested in using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer instead of doing it manually with a highlighter pen. It won't do it with jpegs!   :-[

Spent the afternoon playing with my new Family Historian and Gedcom Census.  Does exactly what I wanted to do with my census returns.  I've entered 3 and already found someone I didn't know about. :) :)

Got a large number to go but I shall plough on and it will be worth it.  What a brilliant package! ;D ;D

Sounds as if your new Family Historian has paid off in immediate dividends. That's great news and truly an early Christmas present.   :)  :)


I was looking at my census documents last night and found a missing sibling of my g grandfather. Turns our she wasn't really missing .... got married .... to the neighbor.

That's the problem with having so many census returns, I look at them when I download them in terms of the person I was searching for.  Then they get stored and not looked at again for ages, so I seem to miss other bits of information, but no more!!!

Glad to hear you are so happy with family Historian.

Your enthusiasm might / would qualify you as an excellent salesperson for the softwear company.

Sorry I will curb my enthusiasm!

You just wouldn't believe how much I have found out about my family just from adding 29 census returns to it!! ::) ::) ::)

No need to curb your enthusiasm. You NOW have me thinking about getting the family Historian software program. See what a great salesperson you are / could be?

If only they would pay me for being a salesperson!!!!!! I could be rich!!!! :o :o :o :o

Tis a much better package than the one I had which didn't do anything useful.  Last night I even was taught how to split my tree.  Now that is useful for sending bits to all those contacts out there!!!!

Are you buying yet?? ::) ::) ::)

Kerry  :D :D :D ;) ;) ;)

Splitting your tree?

Assume you are doing in order to get rid of all the relatives you can or just don't want or need anymore.  ;)  ;)  ;)

Not buying yet but on the verge ... or edge .... is probably a better term.

You getting the commission?
