Mark, and Mike: Thanks for the lead. So, RootsMagic Essentials is a freeware that and I can export from FH --> RootsMagic. Then, export a second time RootsMagic --> Ancestry.com, and then delete my old tree on Ancestry. Sounds easy-peasy. So, when I export to Rootmagic, does both the GEDCOM and the ...

Mr. Tate: Thanks for the fast response. I also wasn't aware of any of these things. So, if I wanted to send a GEDCOM to Ancestry and get pictures sent too, let's use an example: I have an ancestor Walter Edmund Weber. A picture of him is https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/95567072/walter-edmund-web...

I have started attaching media files, like portraits of people, to FH. I have also exported my GEDCOM to Ancestry.com, so that others can see my tree. Is there a way that I can fairly easily get the media files that are already linked in the FH tree and paste them to the appropriate person on the An...

I would like to use the method 2 for censuses, since I already stared this with UFT and it created sources like: "census 1900 NY" , that lumped all Federal censuses from any county/city as a sources. My understanding is that AS stores nothing, is that correct? If I create a census transscript and th...

To Mike Tate:
Thanks for the advice about the quotes. I typed in "focus person" and got now only 12 topics {was 22}. But, none of the titles said "focus person" in the title let alone "changing a focus person".

How does a user send a suggestion to the FH company to improve their help screen?

To Valkrider:
The video was no help. This did not try to find a person to focus on that was not already there nearly the existing focus person.

To: Mike For FH help, I tag "help" and then "search help". Then, I type in the words to search for "focus person". What I get is a list of topics ranked 1 --> 22. None of the topics is "Focus Person - How to change". This is sorely needed. I spent 2 hrs trying to determine the simple step that david...

To: davidm_uk Here is the only procedure that I found that works if the person is not local to the person already in the focus window: individual records icon (on left, white stack of disks icon), then search for a person on the list that pops up, then highlight the person, then tag the focus icon (...

Mike: Under the " knowledge base" alphabetic_index|> Knowledge Base Index when I scroll down to "Focus person" , there is no listing. This is needed, because it isn't easy to find a person from a list and make that person a focus. There is a "Focus Window" navigation procedure as a Utube how_to:v4:f...

I finally figured this out. The find can find the person, but you need to tag the "focus" button to transfer that person to the focus window. So, FH needs to have a help screen that tells peopl/users that vital information. And the FHUG knowledge base needs a "focus person - change" title and proced...

The help screen and the FHUG knowledge base is useless for describing "focus person". I can see of the left in focus window only one person, the root person. How do I change the focus person to show a different person? This is a basic need that any genealogial program does , and there must be a secr...

So, how many placenames should I set FH to?
Then, do I reimport the TMG data?

Placenames are messed up I have imported from UFT to TMG9 and then imported from TMG9 to FH6.1. All of my place names were in order as city, county, state, country. Thus, the UFT worked well, since it used these 4 designations, plus a field for the burial cemetery and the gravesite location within t...

Mr. Tate: So for Ancestral Sources and census , how does the FH6 work? When you create the census record, the knowledge base says to add people, but I don't understand how to add these people. Are these people that have other roles in the census linked to an existing individual? You say that " Event...

Mike: Thank you for helping me. Here is a snippet of Ada Boyd's ancestors : [url]http://charles_w.tripod.com/dweber/genealogy/ada.ged[/url] Within the GEDCOM, there is a source: ===== 0 @S329@ SOUR 1 TITL 1920 Federal census New Jersey 1 ABBR Census 1920 NJ 1 REFN 59 2 TYPE Census, NA-Film 1 DATE 16...

I currently use Ultimate Family Tree (shorthand UFT). I have census records, and each census event has multiple individuals in the event. Each individual has a individual iD #. When I export my tree to a Family 5.5 GEDCOM and then upload the GEDCOM to Rootsweb. Thus, in Rootsweb, when you tag that i...
