Thank you All the images are held on my Win 10 computer in a special folder Pictures folder "genealogical images". When creating a photo for FH I add inc link from this folder. I went into the folder in Win10 and photoshopped the original picture therein assuming that would automatically overwrite t...

Hi I have read the postings on media but they do not quite answer my problem ? I had an added linked photo of Mr "A" in my file. The photo was poor so I decided to edit it. This edited the photo but some how it still retained the jpg of the poor original. So decided to remove the photo completely an...

Thank you Helen It would have been nice before even announcing the V7 (a long while ago) that many bits and bugs fixes and wish list items could have introduced into V 6.27 say making 6.3 and that would have been just as capable of introducing more new users. Then later all the xtras could have been...

Having used FH since 2006, I am beginning to wonder how many registered users exist at this moment ? In my time I have used Brothers keeper ,FTM 2012 and 2014, & Roots magic all versions . I love FH and would consider myself an "average skill user". But the knowledge and ability of users is importan...

A member of my wife's family and his siblings decided to change their forenames and surnames after a suggestion that this surname caused a lot of embarassement to many people although they themselves were all OK. It appears that this was an "unenrolled" deed poll change. I do not know all the detail...

Thank you again Mike The plugins that can run are :- Marriage length report.... Family Anniversaries report and some others As far as christening concerned lets take child A born c 1896 baptised 1910 I could not consider that as an "adult" in 1910. Also it is a pity that by "clicking on" the highlig...

Yes Thank you Mike Many of the Plugins bring up a query bar ? from which you can print the necessary report/data Yes I had to Snip to print why is it not possible to print direct from the Statistics Chart ?? I had 1095 exceptions the majority of which lists baptism/christenings which were much later...

Hi Ran this Project data fine....no way of printing on print toolbar ?

Hi Simon I find great difficulty in getting some of my members to even enter correctly the data let alone now saying this is changed again or new. Most of them want INSTANT success in researching and also in entering. Its a case of softly softly surely and slowly. I will advise per Mike from Website...

Not wishing to decry Version 7 , which I see is great and all encompassing but what are the MAIN differences for the average user between V6.27 & V7 ? I consider myself neither Advanced or Newbie. Many of the Forum subjects are beyond me and seem to be quite complex. As a grass roots user my main co...

Thanks will try them all Standard & Custom Queries

Hi There does not appear to be any discussions on Queries, Standard or Custom although I could be wrong ! Will there be one version for all persons using versions up to and including 6.27 and another for Version 7 ? Or will there be one new version updated for all versions, or even all existing Quer...

I have run all Plugins and updates fine....OK I have the following plugins as below which do not work or have not been upgraded Ancestors & Descendant Counts by generation ver 1.0 Janes Map Geocode Maintenance ver 1.1 Janes Surname Summary Usage ver 1.2.1 Jane & Mike Surname Usage Count Ver 0.2 Mike

Surely what i need to understand is :- (a) If I buy a FH7 full price Can I at start by only putting on my Desktop not on Laptop leaving this as 6.27 Then can I do a Export gedcom to my 6.27 version on my laptop (from version 7 on Desktop) ...will this work ? This way I can still retain my licence fo...

I have at the moment FH 6.27 on my Desktop WIN 10 computer and FH6.27 on my Laptop Win 10 computer. The latter is used when I am out. I have found that any projects I have on the Desktop which I want to update to the laptop I transfer a Gedcom file to the Laptop with a similar name. This is not the ...

Hi All I have read the previous topics concerning the Nova pdf printer. Recently because of windows 10 update to 2004 build 19041.630 and further enhancements I find that I have had to update many progs/apps for successful working. My Printer hardware of Epson Samsung & Dell has all been updated and...

Thanks Mike I am thinking whether to use Notes as aforesaid or Use the Residence fact and put in Elect data therein
Thanks for everything

John

Thanks Mike and all It is getting far to complicated for what I think is a straight forward event I will just use Notes and just add per person/family all the detail which gets printed out on Family Group Sheet and Individual Report FTM records this as a separate fact ! The saying goes " KISS " (kee...

Thanks for your prompt reply Mike I want a Separate Fact named Electoral Rolls (or Electoral Register) It needs to have ALL the attributes of Residence. Facts tab ,Sentence wording identical in every way but the wording where applicable to show where relevant Electoral roll address. Some early Elect...

Hi I wonder if some kind soul could guide me how to create a new custom fact from the Residence fact. I want to continue using the residence fact for occasions when I find an address NOT from Electoral Rolls But when finding data from Electoral Rolls I wish the wording to be "Electoral Rolls" (not r...

Roots magic have issued new videos showing screen shots of their impending Roots Magic 8 prog. This is for their search routines.

Thanks all of you for your replies. My real comment was to utter frustration in lack of communication. I too have Roots Magic 7.6.4 but they issue communications to everyone about their Version 8. Why cant CP when announcing a future edition say something like " We are going to issue a new updated e...

Hi Before last Christmas it was mooted that Calico Pie would bring out the new version possibly named FH7. No such luck.. then said early 2020 then nothing then again I sent a message to Calico no response. I like many others no doubt would say, why not say NOT AVAILABLE before Christmas 2020 or may...

Yes thank you Mike I knew that. Is there a reason they are not in the Plug List if viable ?

Tried to enter a new subject under Plug Ins It kept referring me to advanced searches none of which was relevant So the only way to raise this was to use this entry On running "Plug in check latest versions of Plugins" it brought up 2 not in store 1 Summary Usage 1.21 Created by Jane & Mike 2 Summar...
