Re: date entry assistant plugin?
OMG!! You guys are AWESOME!! *Date* Entry Assistant is exactly what I was talking about, but was misreading the dialog box title example you posted. My bad! The only reason I was doing the "aft blah blah blah" date was because many times I don't have an obit or death notice to go by becaus...

date entry assistant plugin?
Many moons ago, there used to be a Data Entry Assistant Dialog that apparently was a plug-in. I'm updating an FH7 file that has being able to sort dates using that plug-in that I used back then, but when I've checked the plug-ins store, it's no longer even on there. Is it no longer a downloadable pl...

Re: census plugins question
Thanks, tatewise, for your quick response!
I went and looked at my post you pointed me to (last year) and lo and behold, there are your two .fhq things I was talking about! Duh on me. I downloaded them again.

census plugins question
I thought there used to be a couple of plug-ins less than a couple of years ago, I think, because I've run them before called "ready for census" and "census citations." I could be slightly off on the names, but I hope somebody here knows what I'm talking about. Basically, the &qu...

Re: Gedcom specific person export, FH7 project to another FH7 project
Thanks for your response, tatewise! I've thought exactly what you talked about in your response, i.e., it would be better to merge the Brian FH7 into my main project, but I was on the fence about it. The problems incurred in doing otherwise would be mountains of work (trying to keep two files update...

Gedcom specific person export, FH7 project to another FH7 project
I'm not sure what I'm going to ask can even be done, but here goes.... I have my main FH7 project file that I work off of, and I want to do a gedcom export of just my aunt's info (my mom's sister) to import into another FH7 project file. The "Brian FH7" project file I want to import her in...

Re: Need help with a query
Mike Tate, you are a genius!!! I've run your "Ready for Census 1950" query and it's awesome! It output exactly what I wanted to know, and then some, but it's still simple enough to see at a glance who to go find. Good thing I made notes in the main property tab as to whether or not a perso...

Re: Need help with a query
Good suggestion! Thank you. Yeah, I've used named lists before and they work quite well. I also didn't mention previously that I have all of my census jpgs in their own folder, by decade, and as of this morning, I have 330 jpgs in 1940!! And that's just for the head of household (my naming conventio...

Need help with a query! I'm not going to pretend to know how to do what I want, so I'm asking for this group's extensive knowledge of how to do this. The 1950 U.S. Federal Census has just come out, and granted it will take a while to all be put online but that's irrelevant at the moment. Here's what...

Thank you, Lorna and Tatewise! You are fountains of information, as are the other previous posters with replies. At this point, I have no plans to do the geocoding.

Thank you for that "Rearrange Place...." suggestion. Chances are, I won't be doing that because there's more info to put in on these names, so it's yet another list of things to look at when in FH ;), but at least I know about going that route . The list created is in record ID order but t...

Re: Need help making a query
Thank you, CVG, for your quick reply! I think you've got it backwards, though, on how I'm inputting the place/address. But no matter because according to the Gedcom definition you included for both, I think I'm doing it correctly. To me, it makes sense that the place=the name of the cemetery and the...

Things with FH have been going swimmingly since I last posted for help! Yay! But here's my conundrum: I've noticed when putting in death certificate info (still playing catch-up with that) that when info was brought over from RM7 to FH6, the place/address fields for burial are inverted in FH6 becaus...

Need help with parent/child issue I just noticed
Kind of a weird issue and I didn't notice it until now. I'm sure there's an answer, I just don't know what it is! In looking at a couple I was inputting 1870 census info for, I noticed that the children of the couple were under the female spouse in the "Main" tab of the property box and no...

This particular issue has been bugging me for days, but I'm just now posting about it. Y'all have been very helpful when I first started with FH6 (I dropped RM7), and I'm stumped on what I'm going to describe. Otherwise, things have been going swimmingly with the program and I love it!

No doubt by now you know I'm a new user of FH6, coming from RM7. Yes, I've read and have screen-shotted the KB article about Events and Attributes for future reference (in addition to my v6 book), but I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around the umbrella term of "fact" and it be...
