ENGLISH / Storing Census data in Ancestris
« on: August 13, 2022, 17:24:48 »
Hi
I am trying to understand how the registers tool works in Ancestris. I am trying to enter English Census data. I can't seem to find how to add a Census type to the possible births, marriages, deaths, misc types. Also I can't find how to define what entries there should be for each Census. In England the data collected changes for each Census. Also how do I record multiple entries, the example file only shows two participants, while Census pages can record many people per page. Can you explain how Ancestris stores and reads the registry information in a GEDCOM file.
If register records are not the correct way to store Census information please let me know.
I am looking for something like the forms add on in Gramps.

I would use Gramps but I much prefer the simpler interface of Ancestris.
Thanks for writing such a great program.
