In the Focus window there is a row below the husband & wife which says (for example): 'Married 9 October 1970'.

Is there anyway to get that row to also display the location of the marriage?

Great, thanks for the tip Peter, and, the follow-up Mike.

I am entering Graduation data under the Facts tab.  I have entered all the required data, i.e., date, place, address. This entered information generates a sentence in the resulting Graduation box that reads 'He graduated from Purdue University on 21 January 1967'.  This is fine. However, in the uppe...

After reading the additional responses, I did some experimenting with the suggestions and here are the results: http://www.fhug.org.uk/images/uploads/fh_experiment.png So the only way I could get the suffix to appear on both charts & the Focus window was to use Trial 1 parameters. If you just want t...

Thanks everyone for the tips. Mike, regarding your suggestion. If you add '/Jr.' in the name box and also have it entered in the 'Names/Titles-Suffix' box, will it cause the 'Jr.' to show twice in some diagrams-charts-tables? For Example, William T. Ward, Jr., Jr. Jane, does your suggestion imply th...

I am sure there is a simple way to do this, but I have not yet found the trick. I want to display suffix information (Jr., Sr., etc) on the names in the Focus window and on charts & diagrams.  The suffix info has been entered in the Names/Titles box. Is there a box somewhere that I need to check to ...

Thanks Mike. I will start doing some trial & error and see what happens.

Mike,

Is there a reference somewhere that would show where each of the various items you noted would be located in a report, book, narrative, etc.?

Jane, So, to do what you suggested regarding a 'Fact', I would enter the Property box and select 'Add Fact', then create a new Event/Attribute titled 'Biography', then paste my bio text into that event. However, your suggestion about manipulating a 'date' field and a 'custom sentence' is above my pr...

Yes Mike, that screenshot is exactly what it looked like, except that the word 'Notes' is mixed case as I have written it. Jane, I found that using the Notes feature in FH works great for adding all my biographies.  Since my WikiTree site is still active, I simply opened WikiTree and copied the text...

Thanks for the clarification Mike.  I will experiment with that approach as well. I did just notice that when I imported my family gedcom file from WikiTree into FH, all the biographies that I had posted in WikiTree were found to be buried in the FH records. The only way that I was able to see the i...

Jane & Mike, Thanks for the helpful responses. These bios are in some cases 2 to 3 pages long and include not only factual informtion about each person, but also life experiences, etc.  I certainly would want them to be included in any books or reports that I might create with FH.  So if I am interp...

New user here.  I am still getting familiar with the program (version 5). My question is 'What is the best way to enter a person's biography?'  I am inclined to type the bio as a WORD document, then convert to PDF and enter into FH as a multimedia file.  This would appear to be a better option than ...
