I thought their purpose was as examples of the kinds of names with initials that he wanted a Query to list and I provided that Query.

Does the Query do what you wanted?

I suspect Andrew just chose those names as random examples and it is coincidental that they both have an initial that does not expand to a forename.

Andrew, try the attached Individual Name Initials Query. That relies on the new FH V7 functions =Section(...) and =TextLen(...) =Section(...) allows sections of Name separated by spaces to be extracted. =TextLen(...) allows those sections to be tested for their length. Currently, it only checks Prim...

The 'missing' folders you found are the original 'CD/DVD' folders that were copied to your actual CD discs. That is why load.exe opens the web pages in your browser. I suspect they were created in FH V6 before you upgraded to FH V7. The old FH V6 settings were in a folder called Settings in the Proj...

OK, I tried a PC Restart to no effect and then re-installed FH V7.0.11 and that cured the problem. I had been customising various Language Translation settings in support of 20732|sentences: my lack of Englisch? so presumably something in there upset the FH handing of Sentence Templates, but it will...

I'm sorry but I do not know the answer to your last question.

Ask CP whether the missing translations for Fact Types, Fact Definition Go To Language Variant... are a fault or intended.

How strange. I have tried several and none work in FH V7.0.11. Jim, is that your FH version?

The 20732|sentences: my lack of Englisch? thread seems to identify a significant fault in CP. In the Property Box Facts tab the Sentence box can be edited to create a Template specific to that Fact. Any such specific fact Template should be used in Narrative Reports but currently they seem to be ign...

Yes, these postings are limited to a maximum of 3 attachments. Language translation is quite complicated and is controlled by several custom settings. There also appear to be some faults that need reporting to CP. The Tools > Fact Types... entry for Language Variant applies to sentences in narrative...

If you invoke AS by using the Ancestral Sources Data Entry plugin it has an option to Close on 'Save Entry to File' which if not ticked will allow multiple entries from AS.

I cannot remember what the AS default is after Save Entry to File.

I have tried to repeat your reported symptoms but cannot get " witnessed the baptism of " translated in any Report using any Language Pack. The prefix of She/Zij or her Name does not matter. I cannot get " was getuige bij de doop van " to appear in any Reports, so I do not understand how you got tha...

Sorry, forgot to check that C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Plugin Data\ folder exists :oops: Try the attached Match Name with Components plugin Version 0.7 Date 28 Jun 2022 that fixes the fault. This version also detects lowercase Surname Prefixes such as de' that are separated from Surn...

Dave, the fact is that Date values are potentially a complex data structure and need careful handling. Qualifiers like :YEAR only work for simple Date formats. See the Help for General Topics > Date Formats that illustrates how qualifiers behave. In the case of Before and After , etc, check the Date...

Please report the problem of the lack of delete process to CP via http://www.calico-pie.com/osticket/open.php.

Yes, I did, but my wife and I retired here some years ago and have no family connections with the area.

I have updated the Query with a 'safer' version that only lists matching Witness Roles with cells that can delete them.
The Result Set 'blank' cells, if selected, do not delete anything.

The attached All Facts with Witness Role query will list facts where any of the first three Fact Witnesses have a Role that matches the user prompt. Select all the Fact Witness names in any one column that have a matching Role and hit the Delete key or use Edit > Delete to remove those Fact Witnesse...

Teresa, almost all changes to Source Templates should start with Tools > Source Template Definitions... There you can View/Edit... each template and use the big red X to delete Fields. Unfortunately, the usual Save and Compare/Sync with Source Template Record process does not handle deletion of Fiel...

Yes, that makes sense.
If you have a lot of those 'superfluous' Fact Witnesses, then they can be bulk deleted via a suitable custom Query.
We can advise how to build such a Query.

The FHUG Knowledge Base advice is in Family Historian Installation Problems under Error 126: DLL Maybe Missing, Corrupt or Wrong Version. As Mark says, copy the CD to a USB memory stick and install from that instead. As a matter of interest, how did you install that FH V6.2 CD on this PC originally ...

FH is flexible enough to accommodate a variety of options to suit your preference. In 20749|Replacing Witnesses with Census Facts after RM8 to FH7 Import you asked about Census shared Fact Witnesses. It is generally advised that each household member has their own Census Event instead of using share...

Apart from noticing the numbers, I have ignored them. The Extended Set has probably not been updated since it was introduced many years ago in FH V6, whereas new facts have been added to the FH V7 Fact Sets. I've not noticed any obvious features that differ between versions. I think some other custo...

John, you can more easily use the Tools > Work with Data > Addresses... command and Edit... the entries there. If you hold down the Alt key on your keyboard while you click on a Part 2 or Part 3 column heading, that will bring long Addresses to the top where you can then Edit... each one very easily.

There appear to be two misnomers there! Firstly, the quoted "Superfluous sort dates..." only apply where Range Dates are used and I doubt if any Census event uses Range Dates. Secondly, there is absolutely no problem with a Sort Date of the year 3850 or 3860 . They are not "free-form dates". FH is p...
