Thank you very much.

Mike for some reason I can't reorder them with the arrows on the facts page, however I can sort it via the All tab.

Jenny

Apologies if this has been asked before. I have created a custom fact 'Extra Notes' which is undated and I have set the time frame as post death. I tend to work from the property box and this means I can see any extra info that I add but that it also appears at the end of narrative reports and in di...

Many thanks Mike

Many thanks for your help Mike, I'll have a look at this.

Best wishes Jenny

Many thanks Mike I'll give that a go.

I use the ID's to store all records including census etc against each individual rather than family groups I need to look into the linking more carefully.

Jenny

Apologies if this has been asked before. Is it possible to tailor the automatically generated Individual Record Id's to each FH Project. Eg In my Steadman project change Ernest Steadman[1] to Ernest Steadman [STE 1] and in my Strongitharm project changeJohn Strongitharm [1] to John Strongitharm [STR...

Many thanks Mike.

Best wishes

Hi,

Is it possible to display 2 property boxes at the same time in order to compare the data.

Thanks Jenny

Many thanks Mike, I'll leave it as it is.

Jenny

I apologise if this is in the wrong place or has been addressed before. Is there any way to change an event label on specific records? When I started I entered all of my census data under the event 'census' and distinguished between the different census years through the date field, however I now wi...

Mike,
Thank you this is absoultely fantastic, exactly what I was looking for.
Very many thanks.
Jenny

Hi Mike,
That explains it. I was hoping to create a list of all name only witnesses. I can create queries for bmd events but my problem lies with trying to find a way of listing all 'extra' people in census households in one list.
Jenny

When I try to run the List all Witness Events Plugin I get the following error message [string"C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\family\Historian\...":152:fhOutputResultSetColumn - Invalid arguement (2). No changes have been made to data records. Have I done something wrong - I have tried deleting and re-in...

Thanks Bill much appreciated - all sorted now.
Jenny

I have just tried to create a new witness role to link people on the same census entry and I got the sentence wrong. I know I can edit individual sentences but I can't find how to go back and edit the default sentence as you can with fact sentences, or alternatively delete that role and start again....

many thanks i'll give it a try.
Jenny

I have just upgraded to v6 and am also trying to sort out all of my addresses could anyone please suggest best practice for the following please. I have a person who is very easy to plot on the map in terms of baptism and census etc and can plot him to specific streets, I have his burial in the loca...

Try using exclude unless birth date was less than 1915 rather than exclude if.
Jenny

My daughter'birth was registered once with a double barreled surname (Strongitharm-Cornell) - she appears in the indexes 3 times - as Strongitharm, as Cornell and as Strongitharm-Cornell.

Many thanks.
Jenny

Apologies if this question has already been answered. I know how to manage record flags on diagrams but is there any way to set a flag on an individual fact or event to highlight that the information has been taken from a transcription or someone else's tree and that the original source needs to be ...

Hi, This works for me. I have tried various ways to organise and link paper and digital info - I have developed a system using the Record Id generated for each individual by Family Historian. I have a ring binder for each Family History Project and then label a plastic wallet for each individual eg ...

Hi Jane, Thanks for the advice, I know what you mean about family census records being vague and difficult to relate to individuals, however I only use them for the parents and the children are entered as individuals with a note to say they are with their parents (if they are). I find it is a quick ...

Hi Bilko, Many thanks for that, it provides exactly the information I need.
Jenny

I am using V4 and I am very happy with it. I have one question. Is it possible to create queries which combine both individual & family data. I have created a custom query to check if I have found census details for people in my file (individuals alive at x and linked to source) but I have entered s...
