Family Historian User Group

I've tried the various methods and found there is no problem entering the details into Family Historian. However, all have some disadvantage when data is viewed in diagram form. When the father is made the root of the diagram, either the child's box does not appear alongside the 2 families of his fi...

Thanks Adrian. I wasn't using the word 'correct' in a judgmental way, but simply to indicate that the child was baptised with a Christian name linked to the surname of his mother.

For example, Scheme 'Name, Birth, Marr, Death' inserts 4 lines of text in the boxes, which are filled right down to the bottom (when all f...

Many of the text schemes (eg Name, Birth, Marr, Death & Places (abbr)) have a large space under the text, enough for another line of text with space to spare. This is in the boxes where all the fields contain data. It is the same when a custom made template is created from scratch. On a large diagra...

Is it possible to produce a report (eg Indiv Summary Report)in which the Record ID Nos of an individual's parents and children are also included, possibly in brackets after their names? This would make it easier to trace the correct persons when flitting through printed reports, especially when ther...
