When I ordered the microfilm and reviewed it (see above) at my local Family History Library, I couldn’t see the “er” at the end. An index for the above record indicates her name as Stuckling er. I’m not even positive that her maiden surname was Stuckling.

Consequently, I use 1855 plus or minus 10 years. I don’t know when she was born, but because her eldest child, John was born in 1880, we can guess that Kath was born sometime between 18 (that would make her between 15 and 35 at the time of his birth). Not only are there fewer records available online for Switzerland than US records, there is a language barrier, because I don’t read or speak German and what records I do find are brutally slow for me to go through. The bottom line is I’m really happy (so far) that I made the switch to Heredis. In addition, of course, he did have the nickname of “Dick,” as do many Richards. I’ve never encountered a reasonable explanation for the name changes. My grandfather was born Clifford Brown, Married and had children as Richard Durand, and went by Richard Brown in his later years. Using a “nickname” or considering it an alias doesn’t work well. In my family, there are several (male) individuals who had multiple surnames and for whom the surname wasn’t related. There isn’t a way for an individual to have multiple surnames. Reports are everything you would expect or want. You can also show just the treetops, which can give you a visual look at individuals you may want to spend more time researching. It is kind of like an automatic filter system. Select a person then you can select ancestors or descendants of that individual. For example, you can select by surname individuals whose parents are unknown.Īnother awesome feature is to work on a branch. I found the selection criterion for finding people is flexible. On the next tab over from the Search is “Research Note.” It is a great place to enter notes regarding what you have searched already.
You can add more or disable them as you wish. They populate several popular web search engines, Ancestry.Com,, Find-a-Grave, etc. I like the system.Īnother very cool feature is the Search. In a comment line, it is easy add the information that is different from the head, such as wife, son, daughter, or mother-in-law as appropriate. That feature keeps you from needing to reenter the same information on the records for everyone in the household. A really cool feature is to share that event with other individuals. I did add the address of the individual, which the person rented, and a couple other items but it was good to go.Īlthough the source page does show what events are associated with it there isn’t a way to add an event through that page, however, I went to the Head of the household in my people entry form and input a Census record for with the key information for the head. Title: 1940 Census – Document: – Repository: Family Search – Author: NARA – Date: (‘cause I found it today), Website: I entered the exact URL.

I added the header information based upon what I had copied - Just a series of copy & pastes. When I went back to Heredis, I just pasted the copied information into the note, and then dragged and dropped the image into Heredis. On Family Search, I selected copy and I downloaded the image. For example, I went to Family Search, found a record I was looking for. I like using the “vertical display” which puts the image on the left and the note text on the right. When you open a source, besides the expected basic information that you would expect, a huge note area allows you to format the text you write nicely. I was immediately impressed with the way it handles sources. I then began looking at some of the features of Heredis. It pulled in all the media that it knew about. I said yes and selected the appropriate Media folder. Then Heredis asked if I wanted to import my media. Next, in Heredis, I opened a GEDCOM file, selected the file I had exported and it imported successfully. Then opened up FTM and exported my file in GED 5.5 format. I used Time Machine to restore my FTM to a version before it corrupted. It downloaded and installed automatically. Heredis give you to option to purchase from their site or purchase through the App Store.
