Whoops, sorry, forgot about the way the Status: affects Diagram partnership connecting lines.
However, it will never get set by an import from another product.

In the All Individuals standard Query, the Relationship to Root column shows the relationship to the File Root person. I assume that your Individual record is the File Root and not your wife's Individual record. If your wife is the File Root then your stepson will be shown in the Query correctly as ...

Hi Glenn,
That imported Divorce event is perfectly OK and is standard GEDCOM.

The FH Status: Divorced is only for when you know they are Divorced but have no Divorce event Date or Place details.
It is a non-standard GEDCOM extension invented by FH so will not be supported by any other products.

By default, FH does not differentiate between blood relatives and step, foster, or adoptive relationships. Anyway, unless you have definitive DNA/blood proof, you cannot be 100% sure that blood relatives really are such. The parent Rel ationship details can identify the relationship to each parent, ...

Yes, if you are always the researcher then it is hardly worth preserving.
In FH it could be recorded in a Source Citation Note, or by using the new Source Templates, metafields could be defined to hold that sort of information.

It sounds as if you are really getting to grips with the RY3 migration. I think you are saying those 120 entries are 2 PLAC without any subsequent placename. Yes, they can be ignored. I'm not sure the RIN number is anything to do with _PPT because they have the same level digit. Anyway, if you have ...

Sorry, I can't think of any shortcuts to that.
You will just have to review each Source record in the Sources tab of the Records Window.

Yes, it is a bit tricky. Function parameters such as that are typically dependent on context. In this case, the Query type is Individual, so any blank parameter that refers to an Individual record will default to %INDI%. However, as you found in the Sentence Template context that does not work. Simi...

GRO BMD Certificates are in the public domain and can be obtained by anyone for a fee. So does the fact that they must be bought impose any copyright? Anyway, the process to follow to remove unwanted Media is as follows. Use your filter method and put all the GRO Media records to be deleted into a N...

This is related to your recent posting 20881|Relationship expression . The syntax is =Relationship( Record(9999,"I"), %INDI%, TEXT, 1 ) as before but no { curly brackets } and %INDI% not %CUR_PRIN% in this context. Where 9999 is your Record Id number. Ditto for =RelationCode( Record(9999,"I"), %INDI...

Try the =Relationship(...) function or =RelationCode(...) function but I'm not sure how they can be used to identify direct versus indirect relationships.

Unfortunately the %INDI% data reference does not work in the Sentence Template context and %CUR_PRIN% must be used. Also, the function needs to be enclosed in { curly brackets } . i.e. {=Relationship( Record(9999,"I"), %CUR_PRIN%, TEXT, 1 )} The full Sentence Template would then be: {%CUR_PRIN%} is ...

Tom, I cannot see much wrong with what is shown in your screenshots. I suspect you have been investigating folders that you have not inspected before! C:\Users\...\Documents\Family Historian Projects\ correctly holds your Project folders (and maybe some other stuff). The only entry that is a little ...

IMO, you should consider two forms of Simple Citation Template for FH. The current template is very much a Simple Citations Lumper Template because so many details are in the Citation. In FH if there are multiple identical Citations derived from one Source there will be multiple copies of a lot of d...

OK, what confused me was you said that it "worked to get an icon for anyone that had a note".
So at some stage, you must have entered a valid expression and I thought that was the one with a missing comma.

I'd be interested to know how you managed to omit that comma.
If I do that and then click OK FH automatically inserts a comma.
I've tried all sorts of edits and either FH corrects the typo or says 'Expression not valid'.

Jim, it really helps us if you can provide the expression that does not work for you, otherwise we are working in the dark. You know what you used but we don't! Your original posting says you used the Expression =ContainsText( %INDI.BURI.NOTE%, "GPS", STD ) That is perfect except that the data refer...

They are called 'ribbons' that link two boxes which represent the same person. i.e. The content of those two boxes is exactly the same person but with two different relationships in your tree. It has two possible causes; either a valid marriage between 'cousins' means that some people have shared co...

Sorry, I don't think that is possible because the table header text is defined by the {CENSUSGRID} keyword.

The << Insert Data Ref... button is a feature of the << Add Condition > Expression dialogue. They are not mutually exclusive. For example, the button lets you insert a Data Reference into a Function parameter in the Expression . You will discover throughout FH that Expressions are used in many dialo...

To cater for the presumably rare case of holding a document copy where the original no longer exists, could another field convey the fact that it is a copy? Then there only need be one Repository . e.g. the Source Description or perhaps Misc. Ref. Num. could say Copy of ... You claim that "The Simpl...

To tidy up an old Project I suggest you open the Project, perform a File > Backup/Restore > Full Backup and then in the Project Window use More Tasks... to Delete Project...
Later on, you can delete the backup file when happy it is no longer needed.

I think the answer to both those questions is 'no'.

I thought it relevant as PP is converting from V6 Generic Sources to V7 Templated Sources, has problems using Jane's plugin, is " spending an awful lot of time reformatting and trying to represent my current data in a better format " and requests pointers. However, I accept that the process may have...

I hope you consulted the FHUG Knowledge Base Sources and Citations in Version 7 (for Upgraders) , especially Should I Use Source Templates? the explains the pros & cons of converting to Templated Sources versus sticking with Generic Sources. Is there a way of automatically generating the Text from S...
