Should I also reinstall FH as 64 Bit? It is all very new so I could easily re-import my Gedcom.

Family Historian is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\. My Projects are under Dropbox as C:\Users\Me\Dropbox\Family Historian Projects\. As per discussion at http://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=13016. Given this, do I let Ancestral Sources install to the default location, also Progra...

As advised, I have been clicking around on Forum postings and Knowledge Base articles for recording census sources and I have the impression that I am not alone in getting a spinning head. In theory, I "think" I like the concept of recording a complete "household" census from its original contents. ...

Thanks for the kind responses. I am glad my issue is of some interest. Adrian, in writing: " if you had to alter the details of a "citation" for some reason - how easily can you find the text, and how many copies of that text do you have to alter (one per "fact")? " Could I ask you for some illustra...

Thanks for your full reply Mike, and apologies that the season has had me away from such matters for a few days. I will look into your directions. As to your last para, I am a long-time and rigorous researcher who goes to great lengths to cite as much detail as possible, and I decry those who cannot...

I have two basic questions. The first asks what source citation formats FH users have settled upon. With censuses, for example, I long decided that I don't want an individual source name for each census and each census year, in England, Scotland, Ireland, US, Canada or Australia. For this, for the p...

Thanks Mike. Seems to be set up, both computers finding the files.
Can I quickly append a question without starting a new topic? How do I get FH to re-open at the person who was active in the focus window when FH was last closed?

Thanks very much Mike. I believe I agree with you re the cloud vs USB stick. I have Dropbox free version installed and synced on my computers and devices. I have just cleaned it out and have 90% of 2.8GB free. But I am curious about your (FH's) statement relating to "...the Dropbox folder created in...

I've read and acted on the topic "Sharing Data using a USB Stick". I now have a dedicated drive letter applied to the empty USB. So far, before this, FH has been installed in my Windows 10 laptop and one project gedcom loaded. FH is in its C drive and a folder named Family Historian Projects is in m...

Ouch. I am a long-time researcher, and all that time I have kept upgrading BK. When (and if) I get up to speed with FH, probably it would be my intention to keep BK, at no cost, in reserve, but not adding to it. These days I am entering very few new names. I am anticipating that FH will be much bett...

Hi everyone. I am a new trial subscriber to FH. My genealogy society is running a new potential FH users group, I think originally emanating from their existing TMG users group. I attended one (only) of their TMG meetings and decided it was not for me, largely because I thought it was too big a lear...
