Hello Mike,

Thanks for that.

Barbara.

Hello David, Mike & Mervyn. Thank you all for your replies and the advice therein. It's all really helpful and appreciated. I have discussed it briefly with my friend and she has requested a copy of the Gedcom file only at the moment, until we can decide how best to send the whole project in a way t...

Hi, I am trying to send a copy of my Whole Project to a friend, (she & I are currently using FH Version 5) so that she can also have the info & see the photos as well that are in the Project. I'm writing to ask for advice please which regard to the best way of sending it to her so could someone tell...

For Tatewise. Thank you Mike for your reply. It appears from your post that I could/should have explained the action I took in trying to solve my problem in a clearer way. I'm hoping that as I get the chance to use Family Historian more often, that I'll get more used to the way it all works, and not...

For Lorna. Thanks very much Lorna for that straight forward advice because I don't think I explained my actions in trying to solve the problem too well. I've never been too clever working out how to do manage some aspects of Family Historian and not having had the time to use it as much as I would h...

Hi, Barbara again,
I should also have added that I did access the Backup/restore notes in the file menu and changed the default location to the new folder I'd set up but I still couldn't open it.

Hello, Hope someone can help me with a problem concerning saved Backup files please. Last year I had to have a new hard drive on my Windows 10 PC and when I loaded all my Libraries I reloaded my version 5 Family History which then appeared in a Folder in my Documents, listed as Family Historian Proj...

Hello Jane,

Thanks very much for all your help.

Much appreciated.

Barbara.

Hi Jane, Oh dear, I'm not getting very far at all. I've just opened up FH in my Gedcom file accessed the Project Window thru 'file' and followed the instructions for Option b. For some reason it didn't work, I gave the name & location of my Gedcom file (Genealogy Plan 21)to import  but the procedure...

Hello again Jane, thanks for your patience  & please excuse my blundering along with this issue.   After watching the video re 'Projects' etc, I think my problem lies in the fact that I have a ' Family Tree '  folder in 'My Documents',in which I have several sub folders connected with my Family Hist...

Hello Jane, Thank you for your reply. Please continue to bear with me on this subject, I'm still struggling with trying to get my pictures attached in such a way that they will transfer to my Laptop. I'm getting confused with the 'Project' issue - I'm assuming that my 'Project' is the list of indivi...

Jane thanks, and please bear with me here as I'm not the sharpest at this sort of thing. The problem is that our Gedcom file already seems to be a project (as it appears in the project window) but when I move it to the other computer (by storing on my external hard drive) and then open using FH, it ...

Hi, we can't work out how to link a multimedia object, such as a photo, to a record so that it's all linked to the gedcom file when I transfer to my other computer. the online tutorial for adding a media link shows a step that enables you to copy it to a 'project folder' which seems to keep all rele...

Hi Jane,

Thanks for that.

Barbara.

Hi, about 18 months ago I purchased a copy of the Family Historian Book Version 4. Recently I have been using it to learn how to enter photos etc but I'm not there just yet. Can anyone tell me if there is any major change/update in the instructions between the Version 4 & Version 5 book regarding ad...

Hi Mike, thank you very much for the information.

Again, much appreciated.

Barbara.

For Tatewise. Hi Mike, I am about to update from Version 4 to Version 5 and in a previous post (18.Jan 13), you gave me the following advice: 'Remember, when buying your CD you only need the cheaper Upgrade V4 to V5 Licence, and NOT a Full V5 Licence'. Mike,can you tell me what the difference is ,if...

I wanted to enter a birth cert but I seem to have lost the source panel to enable me to add the detail?[confused]
I know it must be there somewhere.
Can someone put me right please?
Thanks.

Hi Mike, apologies for my late reply, my main PC is up the creek again !!

Thanks very much for the info about photos/settings etc remaining the same when loading V5 over V4that's a relief.

Cheers

Barbara.

Mike, do I alkso have to add all my photos again, if I change up to Version 5?

Thanks

Barbara.

Hello Mike,

Thanks very much for your advice and the tips included.

Much appreciated.

Barbara.

Hi, I'm using Family Historian Version 4.1.3 on my Windows 7 PC and I'm thinking of buying the new Family Historian Version 5 CD. Do I need to completely uninstall version 4 before I can install Version 5? I'm not too clever at all this sort of thing so I'd appreciate any advice please. Thanks Barba...

Hi Lorna, thanks very much for the info. The 'How Related' tool in Fh V5  with a chart & brief report really does sound just what I'm looking for. At the moment I think that I'll just have to try out your suggestion through V4 and see what I can produce with that but I have been giving serious thoug...

Hi, probably a daft question but....... I've recently made contact with a 3rd Cousin once removed who has asked me if it is possible for me to produce an Ancestor Diagram/Chart which could show the generation links backwards between her & me. I'm baffled at the prospect but just thought I'd ask if s...

Thanks very much Jane, now sorted.
