Family Historian User Group

Didn't realize that sort of thing was possible in version 3. Will give it a try later this morning.

That's what I love about Family Historian. I've been using it for 5 years and am still learning new things about it.

I think thats a plug in for version 5. Unfortunately I'm still running version 3

Ok so far so good but I have hit a problem I first ran the query described above i.e excluding the females and found 367 such marriages. I then decided to check and run the same query this time excluding the males and got 395 marriages. Now a lot of these descendents married 2 or three times and it ...

Now why couldn't I think of something as easy as that[confused]

Sometimes you can get so involved in these things that you miss the simplest and most obvious solutions.

Thank you both very much indeed[smile]

Thanks Lorna. you were almost right but I needed to include just those who had a spouse with a custom ID and i did that by using INDI.~SPOU[1]>REFN[1]. Works very well but i think i could improve it more. As I said earlier each descendent of The Electress has a Custom ID so when I now run the query ...

I have been working on charting all the descendents of the Electress Sophia and now want to Find out all the intermarriages between her descendents. Now fortunately I have given each of her descendents a custom ID . Ive then constructed a very simple query based on the descendents query. Ive just ad...

Sometimes when entering lots of dates into family historian I sometimes enter informatiomn in the wrong box i.e enter a birth date into the death date box. Ive usualy just deleted the date and then entered it into the correct box. However Ive noticed that when i now run Narative reports it still say...

Thank you Jane, very helpful as always.

I always back up my projects not only on a hard drive but also create copies onto a memory stick. However recently I had a hard drive replaced and therefore had to reinstall The family historian programme. I used the gedcom fle on my memory stick and all was well except that I lost all the custom qu...

Sorted that out as well , had to edit one of the text schemes to display it.

Not used FH for a few months and its surprising how quickly you forget things.

Many thanks anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply Think I have cracked it now. I have been having a major sort out on my PC rearanging all my pictures (not FH ones) and thus broken the links to the icons. will have to remake all of them. so having sorted that out I also use a custom ID for all my entries That used to disp...

Ok lets try and be a bit more specific. I have created a huge tree of all the descendents of The electress Sophia. Now her descendents contain a number of people who are reigning monarchs and pretenders of thrones throughout europe. There are also number of descendents who are Illigitimate or marrie...

I use a number of flags to denote if someone is Illigitimate, deceased etc. But I seem to have lost them displaying in the trees. Cant see how to get them back . can someone point me in the right direction?

Many Thanks

ID:6315

is there an actual release date known yet? and a price?

Ok thats something I will have to explore how to use.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Jane.

Does anyone know if its possible to create user defined fields within a gedcom record. For example I have been working on a tree charting all the descendants of the Electress Sophia. Using Custom IDs and various flags I have been able to create a list people in line to the thrown. What I would like ...

Thanks Jane,

Is there anyway of ommitting the spouse information altogether so the report would look like.

1. Electress Sophia (XXXX-XXXX)
1.1 George I of Hanover (1660-1672)

That would considerably shorten my report

I've been using FHv3 to chart all the descendants of the Electress Sophia, a project that has taken me a few years to complete. I now want to produce an outline descendants report but cant quite get it to format exactly as I want. At the moment each individual occupies 3 lines in the report Typicall...

Spoke too soon, 3 hours later my daughter took me to the local hospital cause I had turned yellow!.

Spent next 5 days in hospital with gallstone issues.

Back home now though1

Sorry for the delay in respondinf but have been unwell , much better now. Many thanks for pointing the way. I made a copy of my gedcom file by saving it to another name and then opened that uop in MSword. It was fairly easy to spot where the custom ID was stored and its format. A quick find and repl...

Ive been using Family Historian to plot the descendents of the Electress Sofia, Ive been using the custom Id and then custom queries to sort the descendendants into a list of persons eligible to succeed to the british throne. Basicaly Ive started of by giving Sofia a custom ID of 1 and then her chil...

Sorry to resurect an old thread but Ive just downlaoaded Gedview this evening on my Iphone. I agree that finding out how to import your gedcomfile isnt intuitive but once you find out how to do it is a breeze and it took all of 10 seconds to download my family tree made in family historian onto the ...

Thanks for the reply Jane. Not sure that its Ahnentafel number I need because I thought that started with the root person being numer 1 and then their parents being 2 and 3 and grandparents being 4,5,6 and 7 I want to go in the other direction. so I want the parameter that gives the numbers used in ...

I've been compiling a chart of the descendants of the electress Sophia using Family Historian version 3.0 and have now started analysing the data using queries and reports If I use the reports option I can get an Outline report of the descendants in the order I want but I dont seem to be able to cus...

Used the site this morning to look up some ancestors. Had one families surname (Shouler) indexed as (Strouler) I new from a previous Census that the family lived in Main Street, Padbury Bucks so looked at the transcripts from there and luckily my family came up as the third family. I guess I would h...
