Could someone tell me where custom diagrams and text schemes are saved.I have just had to format my computer and have had to start them from scratch!![frown]
If I knew where they were I could have saved them!
Thanks in advance.[smile]

Sorry I have just worked it out using a query!![smile]

When showing columns for the main record window is it possible to have more than one occupation column?

I tend to give everyone in the family a 'common' surname where there are many variants and put the variants in as other names used.For example I have made the common name BRAZIER which is the one used in the present day and list the variants as BRASIER,BRAISHER,BRAYSHER,BRAZIAR,BRAYZER,BRAYZIER etc,...

I also want to do this .I tried using notes for a place but could not link to any pictures.This would be very useful as a place can be just as important as a person.Just a thought maybe you could make a record of a place instead of a person and keep some of the info like that?[grin]

I find the research fun.Tracking down elusive ancestors,working how to find someone in unlikely places and then getting the right 'hit'.Brilliant!!![grin]

Hi Nick
I would also find this very useful as I am sure others would.If time permits of course!![grin]

I also have my Great Grandfather in two places.Once with his parents and once with his uncle which is where he was actually living and working I believe.[smile]

I enter the christening/baptism date in the correct field and then put that year as an approximation in the born box as sometimes christenings are not always near the birth!

Hi Jane
It was my computer and a complete format has corrected many,many errors!!![smile]
FH now working fine.

When I try to use the edit button (to unlink etc)I get a message that FH has encountered a problem and has to close.I tried uninstalling/reinstalling but still have the problem.I seem to be able to do everything else but not edit.I am using FH 3.Any ideas?[confused]

Thanks Jane & Sue,
I knew it could be done![wink]

I did this once before but can't remember how.I want to create a tree from a couple (husband & wife)to show both sides of the family.Is this option still available in V3 or could someone nudge me in the right direction.
Thanks[grin]

I have never actually done this but you could create a record for individuals who do not yet exist maybe just putting male or female so that when you see a diagram the boxes show up and you can fill in details when you get them? Just a thought.[grin]

I'm still waiting.Glimpsed the postman down the road about an hour ago but he seems to have bypassed me completely! Still I live in hope and tomorrow is another day1
IT HAS JUST THIS SECOND ARRIVED!!!!! Be back later.

My card has also been charged.I don't know how much longer I can stand the suspense!!!!!!!!!![bounce][grin][bounce][grin][bounce]

I also have Family Tree by GSP and I did an ancestry chart for my tree and it stretched over 8 sheets (portrait).I also tried it on one page and it was too small to see.I think with any diagram it will depend on how many ancestors etc you have and how much information you want in each box.I still th...

It may need a little more time to search through but I am not complaining because it is free![smile]

I have just had an email from Ancestry.com inviting me to search the BMD registers for free.All I had to do was download the enhanced image viewer and I was away.I could view images that I would usually pay for on 1837online.Follow the link below and see for yourself![smile] http://www.ancestry.co.u...

I keep all my multimedia files in one folder on my desktop (but this could be anywhere) called 'IMAGES LINKED TO FAMILY HISTORIAN'.In it I keep all the files in various sub-folders i.e. Birth Certificates,Maps,Letters,Photos etc. If I move the folder I can reconnect the links using the 'Work with Ex...

I also have a problems with paper documents etc.I have now scanned most of it onto my computer (and then onto discs) so I do not have to wade through boxes to find stuff.I keep things like Birth Certificates in a ring binder as I get them and give them a reference number.All the images are then link...

This looks like a great upgrade.Just what I have been waiting for!!.Can't wait for Christmas to come & go and get into the New Year so I can concentrate on my tree!

I have a metal plaque which has come through the family but we do not know the person mentioned on it.Can anyone give me a clue as to where to go for help? I have attached a picture of the plaque and a transcription of the wording. http://www.fhug.org.uk/images/uploads/Pearse_Plaque_a.jpg A.D.1706 S...

I am now wondering if it would be better to embed the photos and other images instead of linking to external files as I constantly move things around.I know this takes more space but if you save FH on cdrom  it should not be too bad (I save it on an external hard drive at the moment).How would this ...
