Ancestral Sources

Ancestral Sources by Nick Walker allows the rapid entry of the most commonly used genealogical source information. Ancestral Sources is designed to be used alongside the top-rated Family Historian application by Calico Pie Software. The current version supports the entry of census, marriage, baptism, death and burial/cremation information. Future versions will allow entry of other source information such as births. In this version, census, marriage, burial/cremation, death and baptism entries can be rapidly entered into Ancestral Sources which automatically adds GEDCOM census, marriage, death, burial and baptism events, occupations, births, and other facts linked to a source record for every individual involved.
