Family Historian User Group

This started out on Ancestral sources board under a now infamous post that mucked up your system, but the causes of the problem are really my actions in AS and I have created problems in Family Historian. I have input a husband George (314) and wife Ann (315) on FH and they have 3 children. Somehow,...

I am very sorry - it was me who caused this problem as I was trying to show that select was not a verb but a button in the software. Which characters are safe to use so I don't muck up the system again?

Many thanks, Anne

Will do that.

Thanks Mike for all your help and great patience - Good night, Anne

Mike - in FH I take it I could 'Add source' and select the Source and add it and then proceed from there - Perhaps deleting the source from the wrong one would be best first before adding - Anne

Thanks Mike - I have cracked the profile thingy - I was trying to make it complicated! :lol: I think I understand what I have done wrongly in FH and AS. I have 3 sisters marrying 2 brothers and the boy's uncle. All the males have the same forenames and surnames and occupations and in the girls names...

Sorry Mike, Earlier I did not notice the Control Panel thing and tried now, forgot my password, but when I try to retrieve it - I am getting a 404 error and can't complete this task as a result - will try again later.

Thanks for everything - Anne

Thanks Mike I need to abandon this entry and go back to FH, I think. There are no parents listed in the box for parents on the RH side. In FH I have tried clicking on a daughter of these parents and while it identifies her husband the chart shows no parents. I know what you mean by link now and some...

Thanks for getting back so quickly.

I am sorry but I don't know what is meant by "have you linked them to the Bride as Parents?"

I meant I entered a marriage certificate for the brides parents and thought that as it was 'her parents' that would be the 'link' ?

Thanks in advance.

Anne

Dear all, When entering a marriage in the Parents Tab - I seem to have a problem selecting from the list at the top (select button is greyed out) when I am trying to select a parent for the bride and the system has already selected the grooms parents and displayed their names. I have already entered...

Dear Peter

Thank you very much - that is very helpful and a relief.

All good wishes, Anne

Sorry for a silly question but I have just found this in the forum after trying for updates in the manner quoted. Can some kind soul tell me - are the release candidates cumulative? Up till now I have not downloaded any and am at version 5.0.0 so need to know if I need 5.0.7 only or all 7 if I go ah...

You could try contacting the National Archives of Scotland where these are normally held and usually they are very helpful. If you don't live in Edinburgh, you can phone the Historical Search Room on 0131 535 1334 - they also have an excellent website with good explantions and email contact may be p...

Sorry all, I didn't quite clue in to the subject properly and I only now realize this - please accept my apologies.

Best wishes, Anne

I use Scotlands People quite a lot as so far most of the rellies are Scottish.  The TIF files I use the Microsoft Office Document Image Viewer and if sharpening is necessary the MS Office Picture Manager. If, however,you are looking at the OPR's (which went on the site recently) then you get JPG fil...

The relationship column is very useful - I never knew I had so many 'First cousins once removed'! One couple who I understood were related apart from being married to each other I was able to check by unlinking them from their marriage temporarily. It will have many uses. Thank you - that was the ea...
