Ancestral Sources

Auto Type in Ancestral Sources

Ancestral Sources is an add-on program for Family Historian that makes it easier and quicker to enter data into Family Historian. You enter source details into Ancestral Sources and it creates one or more facts using those details.

Numeric Field Issue

There is a known issue when using an ORA Auto Type Template with Ancestral Sources: input values that Ancestral Sources restricts to digits only will ignore values ORA's Auto Type feature sends in the usual way.

For example, this will not work as expected if the "Age" field in Ancestral Sources is restricted to digits only: [Age].

Instead, you must send each digit as a Control Sequence. Use a replace transform to achieve that result: [Age:replace:(\d):{$1}].
