PAF genealogy file recording of the 1939 UK Register

[Fleda]

Hi everyone,
How are those people still using a PAF genealogy file recording the details from the 1939 UK Register.
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Cheers.
Fleda.

Hi Rosie,
I would like to hear from others who still use a PAF file how they have been recording the 1939 register on it.  As the 1939 register is not a census I don't believe it should be noted as that on the file.  The problem is that makes it a little difficult to know where to add it.
Thankyou for your help.
Cheers
Pat

Hi Fleda,

I use PAF 4 (!) and have recorded 1939 as a Census, but you could always make a new Event if that doesn't suit? Options > New Event > New and call it 1939 Register

Hi Thank you for answering my query. I thought a New Event would be the way to go but it doesn't go the same way as a census entry. The date and the address can be entered like a census but on the third line where the census states description the New event states confidential. You have only 2 choices either Yes or no and this answer cannot be deleted. I must add I am using PAF 5. I think  I shall have to use either Census or maybe some other item already on the list of new events.

Hi Fleda,

When you get to the Define Custom Event screen, there's a small box to tick saying "Use description". That will give you the Description box. The Confidential box is always there, on the last line of the Event, with or without Description
