You were close with the idea of saving the results to a CSV file. If the only Column in the Result Set that contains commas ( , ) is the Place field then a simple text edit gets what you want. Open the CSV file using a plain text editor such as Notepad or PSPad and use Edit > Replace to replace all ...

There is a similar posting and wish list request at: http://www.fhug.org.uk/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=forum&board=WishList&op=display&num=4879 I don't believe FH offers duplicate name checks or warnings directly, but Custom Queries could help solve your problem. Have a look in the Knowledge Base at F...

Alternatively, if you are using the Individual Property Box and selecting the Multimedia tab Add Media button, then use Link to Existing Multimedia Record instead of Insert From File . You have to use this last command for the first Individual , but after that you can link to the existing record to ...

Let's deal with the installation of the Family Historian program first: If Family Historian says it is Version 4.1 then you do not have the latest free download installed. Go the Home page of this FHUG website, and click on V4 Upgrade 4.1.3 in top right corner. Save the upgrade_fh4_to_4.1.3.exe file...

You say you have installed FH V4 from CD and the free update to FH 4.1, by which I guess you mean upgrade_fh4_to_4.1.3.exe . So when you run FH and use Help > About Family Historian it says Family Historian Version 4.1.3 . If you were using the Family Historian Project folder on Windows XP , and cop...

First we recommend that you read through the advice on moving FH from PC to PC at: http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:move_settings To give you the best advice on how to get everything working it would help if you could answer a few questions: Do you still have access to the old PC to re...

See the following earlier thread that discusses a similar problem and refers to a wish list item.

The =Timespan(%INDI.BIRT.DATE%,***,YEARS) Function does not always equal the =AgeAt(%INDI%,***) Function for the same set of dates. This is because =Timespan() simply subtracts the two year components, whereas =AgeAt() also considers the day & month components. e.g. %INDI.BIRT.DATE%    =   10 Dec 20...

Assuming you still have the ORIGINAL GEDCOM file you could perform a text editor find & replace. Use a text editor such as Windows Notepad or better still PSPad available here http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=fhugdownloads:contents:pspad_editor . Make sure you have a backup copy of the origin...

The image link is indirect via the Source Citation . Assuming you are using the preferred Method 1 : What AS does is create Census and other Facts for every Individual you identify in AS for the Census Return . Every such Fact has a Source Citation that links them to the one Source Record that holds...

Stevebye says

Microsoft Excel is the same.

In my version of MS Excel, it is like AS, and moves from cell to cell whenever any arrow key is used.

Please see the discussion at thread:

There it suggests a cheap external USB CD/DVD drive.

A similar problem arises with Fact Source Citation structures. e.g. 1 BIRT 2 SOUR @S9@ 3 PAGE Where Within Source 3 EVEN BIRT 3 DATA 4 DATE 19 SEP 1900 4 TEXT Text From Source 3 QUAY 3 3 NOTE Notes If there is no Source Citation link, then in the Property Box on the Main tab the subsidiary fields ar...

That is my point. FH is not complying, because it allows me to create the data structure, with the REPO link missing. Only when the data is saved does FH decide to comply, and omits all my data from the .ged file without warning !!! After the save, the data structure is still intact in the Source Pr...

I have Customized the Source Property Box and added three items. Repository - Note (multiline) SOUR.REPO.NOTE2[1] Repository - Identification   SOUR.REPO.CALN[1] Repository - Media Type     SOUR.REPO.CALN[1].MEDI These fields can be filled in and edited as usual, even though there is no Repository C...

I think I understand your problem. Let's start with Standard Census Events . The Census Event properties are accessed using Tools > Work with Fact Sets > Census > Properties . Despite being a Standard Event it can be changed to alter its appearance in the Individual Property Box on the Facts tab. It...

Yes, click the Help button on the appropriate window.

The answer to the first question is easy.
The Census Event is a Standard built in FH Event not a Custom Event.

To answer the second question could you please post a copy of the Data Reference of the customisation field.

Gerry, I think this Template will give you what you want. Child: %INDI.FAMS>CHIL[1+]>% =LifeDates(%INDI.FAMS>CHIL[1+]>%,STD) =ExistsText(%INDI.FAMS>CHIL[1+]>~SPOU>NAME%,' = ') %INDI.FAMS>CHIL[1+]>~SPOU>NAME% The equals ( = ) has to be handled specially, because it introduces a function and must be h...

There is a generic solution, which allows you to choose which Ancestors display which Marriage & Children lists. This uses the concept of Flags that can be added (and removed) by selecting any Individual and using the Edit > Record Flags option. We shall introduce New Flags Marriage 1 , Marriage 2 ,...

peter, May I suggest you copy and paste the Templates from my postings in this thread into the Template fields in FH. The Template you have posted has a digit 1 instead of capital letter I in every case of INDI which is short for INDIvidual . If I put IND1 in my Templates I get the same TEST error m...

Gerry, Changing the Diagram Text Scheme will never remove boxes, even if they are empty. (Howevewer, this might be a handy feature for the Wish List.) What peter1948 wanted was a more compact diagram that still listed most relatives. So there are a number of options on offer. With All Relations styl...

Jane's idea is useful for hiding unwanted boxes, but peter1948 still wants a list of all siblings of every Ancestor including multiple marriages. If you hide all the sibling and half-sibling boxes, then some of these children are not listed anywhere. So the sibling box hiding idea allows multiple ma...

You are on the right lines. Your chosen Text Scheme probably already had a Marriage Item, and you have added Jane's Children Item. (Jane's example should have filled in the Description field as Children so it is identified in the Items Used in This Text Scheme list) In the Diagram > Options > Text t...
