Family Historian User Group

Thanks again for your help Mike, to be honest, I'm not sure now if I want to go ahead with exporting it to Find my Past. Although I've been researching my family tree for many years, I've never put my tree on Ancestry or Find my Past, I have a very basic tree I put on Tribal Pages ages ago, but didn...

Thank you for your help Mike

I'm now trying to export a Gedcom file of my side of the family with just the bare essentials, I don't really want to include exact dates for BMD something like 1900-1970 would be great, is this possible? thanks

Hi Mike, yes, what's happened is that I followed the "Splitting my husband's side of the family away from mine (17136) as before, but i think I must have gone wrong somewhere, but don't know where. His side of the family is all good. It's my side that's causing the problem. The main point this time ...

Hoping for some advice with the above, I've split my husbands tree away from mine which is fine, but when I looked at mine in the individuals list, all his side are still there. although not in the focus window, What have I done wrong?

Thank you both, I used the reset sample project, all sorted

I've moved my Family Historian program and project files from one pc to another using the back up and restore plugin and although it seemed to go well, I noticed that the above is missing from the project window. I just have my family tree showing, obviously something isn't quite right but I'm not s...

Yes, I do know how to uninstall the Ancestral Sources program and the data entry plugin and have done so.

I'll go through the rest one by one. Thank you

Ahh, ok thank you, I noticed there was a folder in my janesfamilytree.fh_data & plug in called Ancestral Sources and as I don't use it anymore thought it was pointless being there.

Hoping for some advice about how to uninstall the above. I haven't used this excellent program for a good few years but I did for some of my earlier census and parish records when I was new to FH. What will happen to them if I uninstall them and how do I go about doing this? Many thanks.

Many thanks Mike, worked a treat. I do struggle trying to understand how to create these Custom Facts so for most of the time i just stick to the standard one's

That seems to work for both facts. Thank you.
The sentence on the facts tab:
His Legal Judgement was Ticket of Leave on 26 April 1869 in Fremantle
His Legal Judgement was Certificate of Freedom on 10 April 1874

Hoping someone can advise me on how to go about documenting Ticket of Leave and Certified Freedom Date as a fact?
Many thanks

Followed instructions carefully esp. the closing of FH and it didn't take long, all seems well, thank you for your help.

Date Filename is now blank and the status restore completed for 226 files for 1 program

Data file name Fact Types\Standard\Group Index.fhdata
Statue Restore performed by 20 data files
I've tried to insert a snapshot but can't remember how!

If I understand correctly then the only customisation files I can think of before doing my last back up was for several charts files so am I right in thinking that FH would manage these, so I select the Keep New Data option?

Thanks Mike, I've now got to the next stage in the Restore Tab, which gives me four options to choose from:
Copy Old Backup File
Keep New Program Data File
Copy Old Files
Keep All New Files

Not sure which one to opt for?

My hard drive packed up a couple of days ago and I'm in the process of restoring FH from my back up. (D) I've successfully re-installed and opened my project with no issues, however I need to restore my custom settings using the above plug in. I've stopped short of the restore because I'm a bit unsu...

Thank you all so much for helping me with the above. It's all worked well.

There are quite a few empty media folder's for him, would it be ok to just delete these?

I've checked Lorna, and your correct, my mother and father are not listed, or my grandparents. If I use the "Pool All Relatives Except Partner Ancestors" Plugin will I need to start all over again?

When I run this plugin do I leave all the boxes ticked? I'm reaching for another wine bottle again!

Yes, I ran it for my Father's side first, then my Mother's. The individual records widow is showing all individuals including my side of the family (Notes, Sources etc.) At the top it reads Family Tree Project File (records) although my side of the family in the Focus Window is not shown. It's just ...

Many thanks William, I've had a play around with the "All Relatives Diagram" which I quite like. Mike, I've run the "Split Tree Helper" and this is now showing just his family, however, when I go to the "All Individuals Tab, all records are still there, it's just not showing in the Focus Window .Is ...

Oh I see. Thanks Rather than have my tree split, would it be possible to have FH GEDCOM for his side of the family on my laptop so I can show them if necessary? I do appreciate this Mike.

Thanks Mike, If I leave things as they are, but want to let a member of the family view his side of the family without having all of my side of the tree. what would be the best option? would this be a better choice than splitting the whole tree? and if so, how would I go about doing this? Sorry abou...
