Family Historian User Group

Thanks Mike, I'll try again with your updated information. The reason I have two projects (and realise now I shouldn't have gone down that path) is that I recently got back in touch with a relative of mine (1st cousin once removed). I had already done my side of the family tree and thought I would h...

I see. But I don't understand why it does not update the notes from a record. It does not even update the fact they have a middle name. Obviously doing something wrong.

Thanks for the update, in the dialogue box it does say Null Merge From file record is a subset of the Merge Into record. But the record I am trying to import has much more information, but when I close the dialogue box and check the record the extra information (additional children + extra notes) ha...

I'm sorry about that but it hasn't worked. Let me explain what I did. I exported some records from Gedcom "A" into a new Gedcom file just containing those records e.g Gedcom "C". I then opened Gedcom "B" and imported Gedcom "C" to merge. In the merge file dialogue box under the Action on the left ha...

I have two Gedcom files that have a few records which are the same people in both. I have updated their records in one and would like to copy and overwrite in the other. Can you please tell me the procedure.

Is it possible to copy a Record(s) from one Gedcom file to another Gedcom File within my Family Historian software? I don't want to import the whole Gedcom file into the 2nd one just certain records from it.

I have upgraded to version 6.2 from 5 and when i go to "Save As PDF" I get the message "PDF file output is not enabled". Any ideas to solve please.

Thanks Mike. Sorted.

I have children that I have attached to what I thought was their Mother and Father but with new information I now know they were descended from a different sibling. Is there a quick way to move the children and their descendents from what I thought were their parents to the correct parents.

Thanks sorted now from what Jane said

Thanks for all the help

yes I did import them and when they opened I presumed everything was okay but when I cam to save it at a later date the error message came up.

I'm creating a new chart and have a number of relatives on after starting with an "all relatives" diagram. There is one relative I would like to expand and show his mother and father but there is no expansion button showing. Any ideas please?

I started working on a chart in Family Historian V5 that I had originally created in V3. When I opened it the pictures I had originally inserted into the diagram in V3 as part of the chart did not appear to be there so I went about inserting them again and added some more pictures. When I came to sa...

Yes using all relatives. Don't know what "Flat Format" means.

No I don't appear to have a duplicate record.

I have a Duplication of a Relative on my FHC. The man and wife are shown married and the woman then has a direct link to her mother and father but the man has a link first to another box of himself and then to his mother and father. Can anybody explain why this happens.

Thanks will check

Think I've sorted it now by creating new Project file and importing existing Gedcom file and existing FHC files. Thanks for your help

No to my knowledge I didn't "convert to V5 Projects". Is this something I can do now and if so how please.

I am using Family Historian V5. I have just opened a GED file I created on V3 and tried to open a FHC file that was created around this time. When I go to "View" then "saved charts" it comes up with the following message " This feature is only available within the contents of a Family Historian Proj...

Thanks for the help, reloaded the update and working fine.

I have uninstalled the PDF printer. When I go to search for updates it says FH V5.0.9 is already installed. Do I have to go to the FHUG website to get the update or will it just say you are already installed.

I tried to Create a PDF file by going to "Diagram - Save as PDF " but a message comes up saying "PDF file output is not enabled". Does anybody know how to enable this please.

Excellent thanks Mike
