Funnily enough I discovered the option to put the diagrams on the main toolbar earlier today, while watching the excellent youtube video by Vyger on FH media management, following the recommendation of that video in the monthly FH email bulletin. In amongst all the media stuff, he highlighted some u...

Nor had I until recently. I had a male where I was trying to find his wife and had two candidates. Finding him with his wife in a 1948 electoral register gave me her given names and determined which one of the two was the wife which was why I recorded it. Yes indeed, I have found the Electoral Regi...

This is a requirement near and dear to my heart - a colour-coded table showing missing census entries. I have found an exceptionally easy way to do this, which was to use the (free) utility tool FTAnalyzer. IMHO it’s absolutely wonderful, and every home should have one! Download FTAnalyzer, run it a...

Just to say that, yes, you have correctly understood what I was trying to do - literally just to split the tree in half. So the semantics of who is/is not a relative (in the context of what I was trying to do), is pretty irrelevant. It just felt to me, and still feels to me, that there ought to be a...

Thanks all for the replies. @Tatewise - no, we have no bridging ancestors (that I have yet discovered, anyway!), so that sounds like a fairly easy way to do it - I've used that "search for orphans" query, the pool numbers, and named lists a month or so back, so I think I know how all that works. Tha...

Sorry, newbie time again! I know the Knowledge Base has lots on splitting trees, and I found a post from 2016 with an almost identical title to this one, but having read all of that I'm still in the dark on one fundamental point. I have a very basic requirement - split the tree in half, so that I ju...

Thanks for all this Adrian, really appreciated - will set some time aside to have a play with it.

...and there it is! Thanks Nick, and thanks especially for such a prompt reply. Re such notes being not included in a report, I do find it a bit odd that such exceptions are made. I want an option, for an individual, or family, or indeed the whole tree, to be able to just say "include everything" an...

Sorry if this is a newbie question but have looked on the Forum and Knowledge Base and can't see anything. Am just getting my head around the intricacies of entering sources via AS and how they then appear on FH. Today I entered a marriage certificate via AS and included as an AS Note the comment th...

Yes thanks Mike - all clear now, and media successfully added to my residence fact! Went back and looked at the FH screen to see why on earth I didn't find that straight away. I think the fact that there is a row of icons underneath the list of all the various facts, including icons for things which...

Interesting discussion - also a “sort of newbie” here (this is my first post)…. as in I’ve been researching my family tree for decades, been using FH for circa 15 years, but only in last few months have started attending courses on genealogy / use of FH and so discovered the (invaluable) FHUG. So mu...
