Thank you very much for your comprehensive reply.

I will have a look at the Knowledge Base as well.
I take your point about the cloud storage.... maybe we will consider that later - I don't expect that we will merge very often to start with, while he is working on his side.

Thanks again !

My son-in-law has bought FH v6.2.6 and I have given him a copy of my Project so that he can add to the Project by adding his family history . He will create new sub-folders under Media to store and link pictures. I may do some more work on my side of the family tree and in due course we can either m...

Mike, Thanks very much for your reply. I am not an expert user myself, so although I have a comprehensive set of media, I have never customized any "facts" or diagrams, so I think the Full Backup that you mention is going to get him off and running. I do use Ancestral Sources, so I will also look at...

I have a Project on version 6 of FH running on my Windows 7 laptop. It has a folder structure within the Media folder, that contains all my pictures, document scans etc. My son-in-law has just bought version 6 and installed it on his new Windows 10 laptop.

Thanks very much.

What I have found is that I need to add ", UK" after every place name so that the map functionality can correctly locate it. That's fine, it will take me a bit of time but no problem. Then, of course, it lea...

Thank you very much - I will look at what you have suggested.

Thanks.

I have been a member of the Forum for about 4 years, and I have been using Family Historian since 2006, but this is the first time I have posted. I have just ordered the Upgrade to version 6, and I am looking forward to using it. I tend to work on my tree about 2 or 3 times a year for a week or so, ...
