Thanks Lorna it is confusing I agree. I will play about with it for a while and post tomorrow if you are around we may be able to sort it. In the mean time have a good evening and Happy New Year

Lorna I have found where the project is and the media. It is in onedrive and because it hadn't synced recently was not able to seen on the new pc. That being so can someone help me to bring it down and connect to the media so it all works if poss

Lorna , I normally open by clicking on the FH icon in my taskbar and all is well. I set the new location to the default as seen on screenshot and backed up so that is sitting there but when I open the ged file in that location most of the media data is missing so somewhere the info is being transfer...

The update reads 15/04/2016 even though I updated about 1hr ago

this is what happens when I drag and drop

Even though I have backed up my project to desktop folder the path in external links still shows that it runs to onedrive even though there is no original project associated with FH only current project. not sure how to proceed

Hi Lorna thanks for your reply, I've tried the external links option but on an original project I saved to "OneDrive" about 2 yrs ago, but on this new project I have been backing up to a folder on my desktop. The external links only is picking up the "Onedrive" path not the desktop path. How can I o...

Sorry edition V5 is my current program

I expect this a question that rears up often. My old comp is gradually giving up on me so I want to migrate my project to a new one. I have followed the info on the web page, https://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:family_historian_migration_guide , but my media/photos does not open on the F...

Thank you Lorna, job done

When I close down V5 FH it used to give me the option to choose backup or skip, but now I get no box at all, has something been disabled, equally how can I get this useful tool back. I do know the long winded way of backing up, but this was more convenient. Many thanks

I managed after a long drawn out process to transfer my project from one pc to a laptop, manually fixed broken media links, (I found plugin not very informative as to procedure). But now when I backup as entire project only the new media files are downloaded to folder taking a few minutes stating 13...

Everything is recorded exactly but not linked as yet

I have a distant cousin John that married Sarah. I put all loads of details in for Sarah and John at the time I discovered that they married. What I didn't know at that time was that they were cousins through Johns mother and Sarah's mother (both obviously sisters). My question is how do I link this...

Thanks Irene,

No luck on the ancestry directories as yet

I have just found on the 1861 census a 'Whiteford A Stoddard' aged 1 grandson in Clapham. On BMD the A is for Arthur. Is there a slim chance he might have fathered Arthur and the name incorporated, just an idea.

Thanks for your interest Anne, On the 1911 census he gives his birthplace as London, so I would think the 1881 census should have him but the nearest I can get is A T Thatcher living in Shoreditch with an older brother called Walter, yet fathers & Mothers name different.

Thanks a great help seems to work ok now

I've checked the marraige cert which I have and his age is actually given as 26 and the cert is 23 Jan 1901 his father Walter is given as a Doctor of Medicine, his mother as Louisa nee Elliot.

everytime i open up FH5 it asks for my reg key when i put in that incredibly long number and press ok it says it has stored it but next time I open it up pops the box asking for it again. Can I get rid of this annoying thing please
