Family Historian User Group

I've created a custom fact for Newspaper as I have a number of funeral reports and other articles to attach to FH. When I looked at the sentence underneath the property box it says 'he experienced newspaper on 7 March 1864 in the Standard' I know I can override the default sentences but as I have se...

Is there any way of opting out of the 'This week's active discussion topics in the User Group'? Many Thanks

What I want to achieve is that George is mentioned as her father on his daughters admission and a link to that fact. Maybe I shouldn't have used the witness Roll for this. Many thanks.

I have just added the source attribute Education and thought I would try and use the witness option on the fact tab and try and create a new role, which I have done, however it didn't give me the results I wanted. When i tried to delete it the role is still showing?

Just sorted. Please ignore last post. Success!

I'm trying to export part of my family tree to another member of the family who has recently shown an interest, she has Roots Magic free edition just to start with, and I've managed to export part of my tree into this, the problem is that we're not seeing the photographs, census images etc. How can ...

I would like to export part of my family tree to Family Search, however I don't at this stage wish to include the photo's and documents that I have. Not sure just how to go about this? For instance, would I have to use the Split Tree Helper first or is there another way to get part of my tree upload...

I haven't used the above for a couple of years or so, and was thinking of uninstalling it, but a bit concerned about the information I had previously entered. Would it be ok to do this? Thanks

Thanks Mike, Sorry if I'm being a bit dim here but because I've used the Kinsfolk Fact Set on my old computer, will Family Historian automatically see the facts already entered using Kinsfolk in FH after I've downloaded it? Many Thanks

Just thought I would try installing Family Historian and the Project Files from my old laptop (Windows 7) to another laptop (Windows 10) in case my old laptop dies and also to make sure I understand just how to restore my project files. I've managed to reinstall the program and project files onto th...

Well no not really, the only reports I've done is the individual summary and the family group sheet!
I will probably try and use JPEGs for most of my documents if at all possible.

I haven't as yet done any reports let alone publish them!

After having a little go with the various options I think I prefer to use PDF. I tried IrfanView >Image Menu>Create Panorama and this turned out quite well, although in the media source I found I did have to zoom it up to it's maximum whereas using the PDF was so much clearer and I can't think why I...

Trevor, Yes I did consider PDF files, and it would be a lot easier for me as my scanner software will convert JPEGs to PDF documents but i'm not sure if FH will support them. Thanks Mike, I've been playing around with IrfanView this evening and getting a bit stuck when I come to the close IrfanView ...

Many thanks, I'm sorry but I don't understand. The four document pages is the Will, and these four pages are linked to one source. how do I put one page in each corner or side by side?

I've downloaded the IrfanView but it looks a bit difficult!

I've been happily entering sources for the wills that I have and so far, they have only been one page images. Until now that is, I have a will that spans over four pages. I have created the source and attached the images as page one, two, etc. I don't like the way I have to click on each page hoping...

Thanks Mike, The information I wish to add is an entry I found for my ancestor in the England and Wales National Probate Calendar, this gives date of death and when and where the admin was granted, :) as she didn't leave a will I just have the Administration with a date and place after her death. I ...

I hope someone can advise on the best way to handle an Administration. I already have the date of death so would it be best to just add a custom fact (not too sure how to adjust the sentence so I don't end up with 'she experienced' admin) attached to the date of death as I have quite a few of the ab...

Please ignore my last post. I hadn't deleted the Fact Sentence to restore the default in the Fact Definition dialog

Many Thanks Mike
Jane

Thanks again Mike, I'm still getting he, even when I insert the {his/her} I'm still getting he. I don't know what I'm doing wrong This is the steps I've taken: I went to the individual's focus window and floated the property box - Facts Tab - Clicked on Inventory to show sentence - Tools - Fact Type...

Thanks Mike. When I look in the Fact Definition and insert a code for his/her

{his/her} {label} {date}{_place}

I get the sentence:

He Inventory in November 1765 Shepshed


How do I just get:

His Inventory was dated Nov 1765
Or something along these lines

Thanks for you help.

Thanks Mike, After a little playing around and looking at previous topics I have managed to get: She appeared in the Register of Electors in 1964 at Merton & Morden I can't seem to edit the in, what I would like if possible is something like She appeared in the Register of Electors 1964 at Merton & ...

Under the Tools Menu - Fact Types - Show Hidden - Fact Set <none> and under the Visible heading I have a few <undefined> entries. Under the Facts Tab on the property box I have as a sentence: She experienced Register of Electors in 1964 in Merton & Morden aged 70 If I edit the Fact Type, Should I sa...

Many thanks Mike, I've deleted the property box tabs for Military and Wills. When I go to Tools, Fact Types I still have death or burial1 showing as an attribute. I only have 2 <none> that's come up, and I don't want to delete them. I use to have Generations and Family Tree Maker (and a few others) ...

Hi Mike, Yes, I downloaded the fact set and the property box, I have followed David's instructions to hide the property box tabs for Wills and Military. Jane, it seems that you not only downloaded the Fact Set but also the associated Property Box Tab : fhugdownloads:contents:property_box_tabs_milita...
