Many thanks, lots to do soon.

Thanks for the advice, I mainly use queries in my maternal & paternal files to see who I still need to find events for, but on my one-name study with just over 5,800 people with many individuals and families being orphan queries are a necessity. If I get stuck I'll see what the market price is to wr...

In Generations you can put a surname, or first name, then born after, died before etc. The query box has Is; Is not; Before; After; Contains; Doesn't contain; Starts with; You can use up to four at a time.

Thanks for that advice I'll open up the Gedcom and see how it looks. The plugin for FH was made for us Generations dinosaurs so I want to wait until I get the licence to then try it. As so many have been successful I have great hope. I will miss the easy view that Generations gave and the simplicity...

Appreciate your support, I'm not very good at playing with programs but so long as my original data is intact UI can mess around.

Appreciate your help and advice. Sorry what is a UDF? If it is database speak then I'll be totally lost, sorry. I followed the export steps. The bit about fixing the source notes I ran but didn't save just assumed it was installed. On checking I realise that I do not have a new file with the prefix ...

I've imported one of my gedcoms of my wife's family. I could only choose Ancestral, Gedcom 4.0 or 5.5 so chose the latter. I put the line length to 255 and under optional fields made sure every box was ticked. FH6 refused to load the Gedcom on my XP laptop onto my Win 7 PC, so copied the file over a...

Thank you for your advice it is appreciated, the one-name file is a mess but I like a database with everyone on it so family history software works better than Access.

With my files on Generations instead of entering data in their provided sections I put everything into Misc Notes and add a Freeform Source code as I like to see everything together. Am I right in thinking FH6 will not import it all as I have it? Next I have a one-name study file where I have many m...
