I recommend not using the All Relatives chart because it can be confusing. Use the Ancestor and Descendant chart instead.

I have an ONS and use FH in the same way as you describe. I have been using FH for this purpose for 21 years and am still in awe

The best method would be for someone to help you live online by sharing screens on Zoom or Skype. Quick simple and very effective.

Rather than purchasing the hardware to print large charts yourself, have you considered using a specialist family history chart printing service? In the UK two reputable examples are

Little.auk - Regarding your first paragraph in Media Thumbnails (21799), you might find it much easier to Download the census images from Findmypast rather than printing them. Use the third Option "Download record" - to the left of Viewer controls. They download as JPGs.

Yes, I attach source images to the people concerned.

Census via AS method 2 - by ticking "Link images to individuals" kindly provided by Nick.

Or via the Individual Property Box > Media tab > Add Media.

Helen - agree this is a difficult one. There are always exceptions that need special treatment. In this case I would share the image as well as the PDF. I do transcribe basic names dates and places where necessary but keep those to a minimum.

Thinking Out Of The Box The video discusses the recording of sources citations and facts by typing on the keyboard, as if that is the only possible method. There is an alternative, not often discussed. In this digital world data storage is without limit and cheap. I simply download or scan or photo...

Recently I have used WhatsApp to contact Ancestry. Quick helpful responses.

I would have thought that the easiest solution would be to leave the field/information blank when something is unknown. That's what I do.

Video the event?

Commenting on the first sentence in this thread, Family Historian diagrams are great for inputting information as well as outputting. I work in diagrams over 90% of the time. I rarely use the Focus Window.

I am wondering why you you trying to view the image in a diagram? In the Property Box > Media tab do you see a thumbnail of the image? If yes, select it, then click the black arrow in a green circle to "Open in Editor/Player" at full original resolution.

If you are referring to an easy quick method to select which project Family Historian should load - first of all ensure that you have Family Historian pinned to your Windows taskbar. Then, when you are ready to start a FH session on a particular project, right click the FH icon on your taskbar and s...

Thanks for your reply Mike. A tall Property Box is no longer much of a problem now that we have a vertical scroll.

I use ...

There is a recent discussion on this topic on the groups.io Family Historian forum https://groups.io/g/family-historian/messages

This is my customised Property Box, including the fields mentioned.

I use the free JPG To PDF utility from jpgpdf.net

If you were to use a multi-button programmable mouse, copy and paste is very fast and easy.

Rather than using a query, have you tried Tools > How Related.. that shows the three closest relationships between the two people selected? Those relationship paths may then be viewed in a diagram using Display Graphically...

JayBee - I use the In Progress flag that I have set to display in diagrams a men at work icon and a heavy dotted border for the people concerned.

Since the advent of autosomal DNA testing I am researching and recording all of my ancestral lines, all of their siblings, and all of the descendants of those people down to the present day. Such a huge task that I need to be focused and systematic. I have almost finished researching (using primary ...

This is my solution for recording which DNA databases each person has data.

Agree that the issue may have been solved by the provision of a vertical scroll of the Property Box in FH v7 which I requested Simon to implement.
