Family Historian User Group

All :- I have been working on my family history for quite some years. With respect to census entries I used to use them as sources for age, occupation, residence, relationships etc with the date of those facts being that when the census was taken. However, I did not record the census as an ‘event’ o...

Thank you for your efforts - they are appreciated

It was sort of me being gormless (getting into a mess with file locations) and it's now working. For reasons I don't understand when I exported the initial gedcom from Family Historian to Rootsmagic and imported it, my father's parents weren't shown in rootsmagic. I updated the script to allow livin...

Firstly - thanks very much for your patience - it is appreciated.

I spent the morning trying again and again made a mess. I'll try again this evening but I think I know what I did wrong and it is me being gormless! I'll report back

Thanks - I was looking for it on the file screen.

Thanks again for your help

Sorry - I'm sure I'm being gormless here, but I'm trying to run the update process for the first time and when I come to import the updated gedcom file into rootsmagic 8 I can't see / find the share merge option in Rootsmagic.

Where should I be looking or am I missing something?

Thanks

Kevin

I can run a query that print the names of the...

Hi! Many thanks for the prompt and full reply, it is appreciated. I didn't realise the plugin was potentially readable (and editable?) in notepad and would be interested in how it can be updated to allow living people to be transferred. I'm not looking for the plugin to share media, the vast majorit...

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this... I want to synchronise Family Historian with Ancestry for the following purposes 1) Use and retain across updates Ancestry hints 2) I want to retain the tree that DNA tests are attached to across updates and thereby supporting Thrulines. (Note that...

Hi!
Thanks for the reply, it is appreciated.
I have used Family Historian since version 2, but I haven't used the map functionality until I was asked for this info recently.
Thanks again

Hi! Is there any way of annotating maps that can then be saved as JPGs? I've been asked to produce a map showing where our ancestors lived in Somerset. I can save a JPG showing dots of half a dozen places in Somerset, but it's meaningless without the box you get when you click on the dot. Currently ...
