Family Historian User Group

Why not try a Freepages site from Rootsweb (http://accounts.rootsweb.ancestry.com/i ... eagree.htm). It won't "die with your credit card" and allows the use of CSS and Javascript. I've been using it for about 10 years with absolutely no problems.

As any record is a source, I file everything in folders in source numeric order (100 sources to a folder). Thus for any source, I can just take its number and refer to the appropriate record in the file. I name each source by its type; thus Certificate - Birth : Individual's Name; Certificate - Deat...

I'd also like to say thanks to Jane for all her hard work with the site. We are so fortunate to have her doing this voluntarily. The effort must sometimes be exhausting. To Jane herself, I'm looking forward to meeting you at Parramatta, Australia in February (I'm booked in but some medical treatment...

Congratulations to you and all the other members for a wonderful service

Hear, hear. We probably don't say this often enough to all the people who make this user group such a helpful resource for Historian users, especially Jane, Mike and Lorna.

Mike, Thanks for that

I've just found the link to my web site in the KB. I note you have listed the site as Owen Jones (2 words) not OwenJones (1 word) as originally advised. I can't seem to find any way to change it. The primary software used to create the site is GED-GEN, http://www.ged-gen.com/

Can I suggest the words Version 5 should appear on the page. All the other version numbers are displayed

FH users might find something of interest in this post by Jill Ball

On some of the posts, there is a Right Pointing Arrow showing on the topics icon. What does this mean?

Thanks Lorna and Mike

I've got into the new forums but in doing so I had to get a new password issued. I want to change this password but can't find how to do it?

I have an FHUG folder in my browser and I Bookmark interesting items in it.  I use sub-folders to categorise the pages

I seem to recall that the .zip files in early versions of Historian were not 'real' .zip files in that they had a different structure. This may be the problem. You might have to contact Calico Pie for help.

Ian I am not clear as to how you link a picture (in my case a census) to all the family members Have you considered attaching the image to the Census source rather than each individual? Then you only have to attach a single image. Are you using Ancestral Sources for entering your Census data?  This ...

One in Sydney, NSW would be great. [grin] I'd drive the 100k!

Sorry Mike.  I quoted the value not the attribute. I was just pointing this out but it's not a big deal.  All browsers (maybe even all versions) recognise target as an attribute, so the pages will render properly and go to a new tab. As you suggest, one workaround is for the Plugin to substitute tar...

Thanks Mike, now working OK although the new pages don't validate as '_blank' is not valid XHTML code.  That's difficult to fix without using JavaScript

Just downloaded and tried this plugin. When running the Hyperlink/Text tab an error message as shown below appeared. ...torianPluginsImprove Website or CD DVD HTML.fh_lua:3085: stack overflow stack traceback:      ...torianPluginsImprove Website or CD DVD HTML.fh_lua:3085: in function 'strHyper'    ...

If you click on your 'Married 9 October 1970', it will show you the Property Box (if you have it docked) with the place showing.  This is only a compromise but at least you can see the place (but not the address - you have to select the Facts tab for that).

Thanks Mike

Where do I find the Multimedia Individual Report as distinct from the Multimedia Report?

Try PrimoPDF (http://www.primopdf.com/).  It has an option to 'append to existing document'.  Take care when installing to untick all the various addon options.
There's a user guide at http://www.primopdf.com/pdfs/PrimoPDF_V5_User_Guide.pdf which also has download and installation instructions

I see the Australian Electoral Rolls as a source from which facts (residence, co-residence and occupation) can be derived.  As such I create a source with the name e.g. Electoral Roll : Federal (Eden-Monaro); State (Wollondilly); Sub-Division (Moss Vale) In the Text from Source field I show the actu...

It is a pity that this could not be done from a Descendant chart where visually ypu could pull off and save John, you can create a named list from selected members of a chart and then create a GEDCOM from that list. 1. Create your chart and then hold down the left mouse button and draw a rectangle ...

... perhaps the best (because it may be useful in the future) is to set up the Records window to include a tab for Family records, if you have not already done so. (Use Tools > Preferences > Records window and set Record Type Display Options for Families to 'Always Show'.) From the Families tab in ...
