You appear to have some very strange characters in the Project file name, a little diamond. Have you tried removing them?

You need to create a Rich Text Object and pull the note into that.

See

and

in the plugin help.

My 3x Great Grandfather's inquest was held in a pub. Appropriate as he was suffering from the DT's when he had a "visitation from god on the brain".

Like Helen I use the newspaper report as as source and record it against the death fact.

Mike: It would, but only where the two people were the parents, so if not needed a simply exclude if descendants of "person" would remove them.

You appear to be looking for all Blood Relations, rather than just ancestors. So would it not be simpler to simply prompt for the two people you want to compare and then test for DnaBloodRelation So Add if =DnaBloodRelation(["Person"], %INDI%) true Exclude if =DnaBloodRelation(["Person2"], %INDI%) f...

Another option is simply to use return. assuming you are not down deep in sub functions.

Code: Select all

strAnswer = fhMessageBox(" YES to complete action or NO to exit", "MB_YESNO")
if strAnswer == 'No' then
    fhMessageBox("exiting with no actions")
    return
end
print('do stuff')

That is the way I would do it. Scan once through all records and build a table indexed on the uid with the value being the record pointer (don't forget to clone it in). As you only need to grab one field it should be very quick to build the look up. I would probably add some validation for duplicate...

There are a couple of plugins, one which computes and displays and one which creates attributes for each person with the counts.

Note the second one updates the records so will update the last changed date on the records.

That's fine Mike.

In general I also use single databases, so I know which original sources I have checked. There are also odd problems which can affect the results. Take the example of my 6xG grandfather, who was buried in Somerset and so is in Somerset parish records, this was fine, but he never (to my knowledge) li...

I suspect the reason for this is to avoid less advanced users from extracting the gedcom by using windows explorer to open the zip and double clicking to open it, rather than using the Project restore option in the program.

I don't think there is a way to hide them if they are still in use, but you could change the name or the category so they appear at the bottom of the list of templates out of the way. To see them all go to View>Other Record Lists>Source Template Records.

I have reported this to Calico.

To work around for now, you can simply select the Save Report As> option from the report menu at the top.

See V7 Updates at Family-historian.co.uk for more information.

Yes you can zoom in the Media Window Workspace.

Press the + or - keys, use the +/- option on the icon bar or select the zoom from the dropdown box at the top.

You can also use the Autosize icon or the 1:1 actual size icons.

Once you get in the 4th - 6th you are a fair way back so you could need to go back 6 or 7 generations to find a match. Once useful option if you are "talking" to DH is to cross check shared matches between them and other of your matches. So for example if they match another 2nd or 3rd cousin there i...

I can't reproduce this.

I have set up a new project added a person and added birth fact and added a picture to the fact and it appears correctly on the individual summary report, no sources or other information entered.

DEA = Data Entry Assistant

Searching the Knowledge base would have taken you to
Sources and Citations in Version 7 (for New Users), this includes information on DEAs.

You could simply customise your Fact Type sentence templates to include some paragraph breaks in Tools>Fact Types. The code is <para> and is listed on the insert helper.

You can also insert them direct into an individual sentence for a fact, to add breaks where you want them.

Another possible option if you want to keep a single citation in FH7 is to paste it into the Prepared citation which does survive a shutdown and can easily be viewed.

Query>DNA>Shared Autosomal DNA

Family Historian does not add any information automatically, are you using Ancestral Sources or a DEA plugin to enter the information?

Part of the problem might be you have "smart" quotes rather than standard ones. One of the pitfalls of putting it near Ms Word I expect.

Try

Code: Select all

=IsTrue(ContainsText(%INDI.FAMS>MARR.SOUR>TITL%,"Marriage",STD) and
Not(ContainsText(%INDI.FAMS>MARR.SOUR>TITL%,"Marriage cert",STD)))

Just for information, I suspect groups.io does this as if a user (or a provider) marks a message as Spam, services like Amazons delivery service mark down the sender and may black list them completely. So as soon as a message is sent to a spam folder by anyone, it can have knock on affects for a lot...

That is fairly easy to do with a Fact query and filter it on the placenames you want.

A good starting point is the Events near place, which is a standard query, which you can copy and customise.
