Thank you for your observations.
Hopefilly as part of dealing with my problem acquiring additional storage on OndDrive will contribute. I will attend to that

Mike Yes I do understand that there should only be one Family Historian Projects folder and that it should match the P roject Window Location setting on each PC.

Mike I did have issues a few years ago and you sorted them out. I am reasonably sure that I followed carefully your instructions at that time. At the beginning of this year I purchased a new laptop and had the computer shop transfer the contents of my old LT to the new one "He cloned it" I have been...

I use V7 and operate on both computers using OneDrive Laptop on holidays and Desktop while at home. For reasons which I cannot explain I am unable to access my projects on either computer.

Mike I am having some bother again with syncing FH on Desktop and my laptop. I use my laptop when on holiday and recently in Spain it stopped working. I brought it to a computer repair shop and they fixed it and also installed Windows 11 which I had not requested. In order for my OneDrive to be logg...

Thank you. That works fine. I presume that the same method is used for other inter family marriages that come to light.

I have a segment of my tree represented by married couple James Scott and Catherine Mortimer and four generations down to present. One of their children William married my relative Mary O'Malley. Accordingly the family members of the Scott and O'Malley families were recorded in my tree. I now find t...

Mike
I have downloaded and installed Timeline with Historical Facts.
How do I input information about people who may not be connected and thus create a Timeline which includes identified family members
Edward

Thanks for your suggestions.
I will follow up

Good Morning. I am reviewing my paper files wich contain records of births deaths and marriages of people who I suspect are part of my family tree but I have been unable to establish proven connections. These have been accumulated over many years. They are therefore not recorded in FH. Much of this ...

Mike You have given me cause to pause and reflect. My wayward ways did not end well. But I have learned from this experience. I have re -entered the data associated with the 12 Records. I have done a Full Backup to the PC Hard Drive. I am no longer getting the error message. Again many thanks for yo...

Mike Thank you for your response. I have been using FH all along but having to cope with the dialog boxes appearing each time I open the project. I attach screenshots of Records 1-12 (2 shots). If necessary I will delete all the records 1-12 and re enter the data. I presume that if I revert to an ea...

Thanks Mike The problem has been ongoing since 2019. I am not aware how the problem arose in the first place. Perhaps when I was having the problem with syncronising OneDrive last year. Or when I arranged with MyHistory to prepare a chart for a section of my family in 2019 The Gedcom is what I have ...

Hi. When I log into FH the attached message is received. The message begins "This Gedcom file contains one or more sets of duplicate record ids----" The duplicate records run from 1 to 12. How do I resolve this problem. Edward

Mike Thank you for this clarification. Is my interpretation correct that the application used by the recipient of the Ancestry.com GEDCOM will open the GEDCOM? BTW and for your interest, I copy below message from FTDNA regarding problems with GEDCOMs. "Thanks for your reply. Some customers have come...

Mike
I reviewed theFH Project Backup zip files and deleted the larger from OneDrive. I reviewed Cache folder ThumbCache.dat
Size is relatively small.
I will deal with the IE issue in the morning

Edward

I recently had my aunt take a DNA test with FTDNA. In conjunction with this I set about uploading a GEDCOM from Ancestry.Com to FTDNA. I followed the instructions from Ancestry.Com on how to download my tree from Ancestry as I have done in the past to Gedmatch et al . On this occasion the downloaded...

Mike Thank you
That has restored my updated data. I will now proceed to delete individually the earlier snapshot files and the other suggestions which you make.
In regard to the use of Internet Explorer I was not conscious of using it. What should I do to avoid this?

Edward

Mike Thank you. The Rowland Family GEDCOM is the 280mb I am not aware that I am using IE nor why the files are associated with IE I commenced deleting snapshot files and initially deleted one dated 15 March 2019 285mb using the File explorer method. I then deleted a second file dated 24 March 2019 u...

Following your guidance on 24 February 2020 I was able to deal with the issue in question. Another issue that I experience with OneDrive. I am receiving a message from OneDrive that my OneDrive is 96% full. This is primarily due to how I back up FamilyHistorian. I note that OneDriveDocumentsFamilyHi...

Mike Edward Rowland Windows 10, V.6. 2 I sought your help regarding synchronisation of FH through OneDrive on my laptop and desktop. Refer email 20 April 2019 et al. You then identified that OneDrive was not logged into the same Microsoft account. Microsoft OneDrive on the laptop settings account ha...

I tried the Project Windows snapshot option and restored to 28 December. That worked and I am most grateful for your magic. Regards Edward

Today I opened FH and updated minor detail re an uncle on my mother's side. While doing so I split the screen between email inbox and FH. When I sought to access my mother's family most of her mother's and all of her ancestral family data was no longer showing. The data is still accessable through t...

Mike I tried again to rename the Project file using More Tasks as before but alas no change. I then used the method suggested by you ie File Explorer, Rename file and that was successful. So LT and Desktop are in synch and the Project has been renamed Rowland Family. I can understand that this proce...
