Please can anyone advise how to do a query for grandparents and also aunts and uncles of a certain person to go on a spreadsheet. Not so clever at these things.
Many thanks

Thank you, you have helped a lot. I was panicing for a minute.

I have a William Hartley and a Clara Miller, but unfortunately I have managed to attach Clara to William`s brother and if \i try to change the name of his brothers wife, Clara disappears. Please can someone tell me how to rectify this.
Thank you
Marilyn

Thank you very much for your help Mike, it is very much appreciated. All done now

Mike, thanks so much for this step by step guide. I dont know how I did it but I managed to get a new source up. The only thing I am still struggling with is deleting all the "untitled" in the sources box, where it lists about 10 or so untitled with 0 or 1 citations. If I select the first one it won...

Yes I want to continue using it as I did before. Even then though I didnt understand Title/ Short Title etc. When I press on new generic source it just comes up with new source created, click undo. I have a long list of sources names untitled and I cant delete them. It was so easy before just added ...

Many thanks to both of you but I cannot get my head around this new way of doing sources. I have read what you said but its like a foreign language to me. I just want to add a new source California U.S. Marriage Indexas a new source to a marriage on my tree. Please can anyone just talk me through st...

I have just installed version 7 of Family Historian, I love this but at the moment I cant understand how to source my information. It says cite existing source, add new source from template, and new generic source. This was quite straight forward in the last version, but now I cannot work out how to...

Thank you for your help Tatewise, I have managed to do this now, was missing out changing it to a gedcom with Ancestry Ans. Thanks again

Please could anyone talk me through how to upload a gedcom file to Ancestry. I have exported a gedcom file to desktop, then used the plug in on the exported gedcom to clean up people. Then when I go on Ancestry and find it, its starts to upload and then comes up with not a genuine gedcom. What am I ...

Sorry Jane, please could you explain how to add a relationship column to a query, cant seem tofind out how. Sorry if I dont understand

Thanks Jane, I will try that, not got my thinking head on this morning, thanks again

Tatewise, thanks for replying. My husband helps me find information on everyone on my tree. We put all the columns on the spreadsheet ie birth,baptism, marriage, census, death etc., and then when he finds them he colours them a certain colour to say he has found them so not to search again. Its just...

Thanks all of you for your help. Would there be any chance of talking me through how to do this. Maybe a better way would be how to show people that are not actually related (only through marriage), so I know from the spreadsheet who I dont need parents or information for. I am running a query like ...

Please could anyone tell me if there is a quick way of putting all the direct ancestors in captital letters, I have quite a few and would take ages to do them all individually. If there is a better way I would appreciate it. Maybe additionally/instead, if they are a certain colour, could I list all ...

Hi Mike,thanks for replying, that sounds so complicated. I just wanted to upload my tree to Ancestry with details of the individuals who are living kept private, maybe I made it sound more complicated than it is. I thought you had to do a query or a named list or something. I am sure I have done som...

I am looking to upload my tree from Family Historian to Ancestry. I want to show everyone on the tree but privatise individuals from my grandparents down to me, grandchildren etc. I have just received my DNA results but at the moment the individuals are from my grandparents upwards, and as I say I w...

Thanks Tatewise, yes I have a line for each individual and a column for each basic fact starting from birth to burial, parents etc., a column for each census. When a person has married twice I actually type in another line for the individual, exactly the same but with the name of the other spouse. O...

Thanks Tatewise, sorry didn't get chance to sort this. I would love eventually to make a query for a spreadsheet that does include everything for everyone, so I can see exactly what I need and fill the gaps in as I go along on the spreadsheet, obviously the spreadsheet would be so big that I would h...

Thanks for replying Jane, I am after individual columns for each census date, with census date in column if I have found a particular census for an individual, (if that makes sense). Thanks

Marilyn

I am trying to make a query that has all the basic facts for each individual and I am stuck on a couple of things. If anyone could help me I would be very grateful. 1. On the columns page, where do I find the record i.d. field 2. How do I add individual columns for individual censuses, ie every one ...

Thanks for all your advice, I have managed to do another query and import it into my old spreadsheet, although your advice re id numbers is very useful. My old spreadsheet is useful because it is colour coded showing which ones are searched, ones we cant find, newspapers we have searched etc., so th...

Thanks Mike, I think I lost a few things when I changed computers unfortunately. I saw the dates query, but have done that another way round. Just one more question if you can help me. How can I do a query for the latest individuals to be added to my tree. I thought it might be the updated individua...

A couple of years ago I did a query for everything for everybody which listed every event, attribute, census etc., and showed whether I had obtained this or not, not sure if it was a plug in or downloaded query but I can`t find this now. I saved this as a spreadsheet and have colour coded everything...

Thanks Mike, I think Ive done it. People like you and all the other helpful people on this forum make this programme as great as it is. Thanks a lot for your help
