Mike I have changed the number from 5.0.9.3 to 5.0.11.0 and it has not worked, the error message now says "Version 5.0.11.0 does not match Version 5.0.11.0" Should I change back to what was shown originally? Have started to read the Knowledge Base > FH Installation Guide, I have never had any proble...

Mike, David & Nick Thanks for your replies and sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Mike I have edited the error message to read Family Historian backup Version 5.0.9.3 does not match Version 5.0.11.0 installed. Sorry I do not know how to save the free V5 upgrades, all I have is the FH Settings...

My Windows 7 Home Premium laptop had to have Windows 7 reinstalled and I am now starting to use Family Historian 5 again. The last time I used "Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings" was 2014-09-07 backing up my project, today I downloaded Version 2.3 plugin to restore my 2014 settings. I rec...

Mike

Thanks for your reply, I will have a look at this in Ancestral Sources.

Brian

Mike Could you help me please by showing/telling me how to do this. I would like to follow your example in your 9518|Fields For Sources (forum posting dated 16th May 2011) for transcribing information from BMD Certificates. I have looked at the advanced help in FH5 for Get Labelled Text, but don't k...

Mike

Thanks for your FYI reply, that is very helpful, I now have what I was looking for.

Brian

Mike, Bill Thank you for your replies to my query. I will continue using the recording method set out by the GEDCOM specification, however, if I want to record the date a fact or certificate was discovered/received how and where would you record it? I have a member of a family history society who is...

Why does the above produce the actual fact date in the "Entry Date" of the source citation? I have been led to believe that the entry date for source citations is the date in which you find the record for a fact (marriage found in indexes 20th July 2011) certificate bought gives marriage date of 29t...

Mike Thanks for your reply, just before Christmas the personal finance software program that I use stopped working and with help from their Help Desk they reinstalled it for me by remote control. I told a friend of mine who works in I T what had happened and after downloading their trial version cam...

Jane, Mike Thank you for your help and advice relating to my problem, set out below is my answers to your questions and what I have done. Mike: I am certain that I used V5 installation instructions for the Property Box Tabs. 1) I followed the instructions to reveal the Program Data but there was no ...

Recently my version of FH5 has lost/not displayed the Custom Facts, Tabs & Queries that I created for my Research To Do Lists and Queries, this seems to have occurred after I downloaded the Fact Sets and Property Box Tabs for Census and Military. After looking at the Knowledge Base for Backup and Re...

Thanks Mike

Success with To Do: Research achieved. Thank you I appreciate all your help.


Brian

I also agree with all the above. I would also like to pass on my thanks in particular for all the help I have received from Jane and Mike, and other users. As a fairly new user to FH5 I was stuck on a few occasions and the help received was both quick and detailed, this forum and it's users are exce...

Mike

Thank you for your reply, very helpful as usual.

I have had a quick look at "Using Family Historian > Advanced Topics > Understanding Functions > Functions (all) > GetLabelledText" as suggested and will be spending time over Christmas learning how to use this feature.

Brian

Jane, Colin & Lorna

Thank you for your helpful replies.

Jane could you please explain what I have to do re "I also have ToDo: prefixed notes for items I need to look up"

Brian

Jane Further to your reply to me on 12 September, how do you record your simple research notes in FH to track what searches you have done? For example my Grandfather married in 1922 and died in 1972, the GRO references for these facts are: Marriage: Marylebone 1922 Sep Qtr, Vol 1a, Page 1619. Death:...

Mike

Thanks for your advice and guidance with my problem, I have used all your information and now have 1911 Census reports that make sense and can be easily read.

I can now set page layout etc to accommodate all Census returns for any family group or individual, absolutely brilliant.

Brian

Mike Thanks for your reply. After trying various things I have kept my original Column Separators as TAB and run the Individual Summary Report and changed the following settings in Print Options: Format, Section Data to Arial Narrow size 8. Page Layout: Tab Width to 0.4" and Para Indent to 0". The C...

Mike Sorry if this is not the correct forum for my query. I have used Ancestral Sources using the Census Grid for most of my Census returns and the result in reports is not good, nothing lines up in columns etc. I have followed the Report Options in Tabulate Multiline Text in Records and Reports and...

Mike

Thanks for your reply, reading Chapter 17 Reports has helped me with my timeline request and printing the information for it.

Mike "OK, so something similar to the Facts listed on the Facts tab of the Property Box" Thanks for your reply, that is exactly what I would like. Have just run the two reports you suggested and the Individual Summary Report "fits the bill". When I bought FH5 software I also bought the book "Getting...

Mike Thanks for your reply. I have looked at both Timeline and Timeline Facts as suggested, but they do not produce what I am looking for, neither does the Timeline plugin. The Timeline plugin version will be used as a finished document to put in my research file. Attached is the Family Tree Maker t...

Is it possible to create a Timeline as a query? I am looking to create basic timeline for any individual that has gaps in my research: birth, census, death information etc, but I have not been able to work out how to do this. I have used the Map Life Events Plugin which is excellent, but I only need...

Are there any users in Lincolnshire? if there are I wondered whether it might be useful to create a mini user group where FH users could meet and discus/discover and share our methods of using FH

Should anybody be interested please let me know.

Peter & Mike Thanks for your replies. I copied the Code from Peter's reply into FH5 and it works perfectly. I then copied the expressions within the ToDo by using Edit Column Details and changed the Label Names to Census pressed ok twice and then looked at the Individual Records and under the To Do ...
