Morning, Does anyone run FH using an application emulator on a mac? I dont want to give up FH since moving from PC to mac. I have ruled out using bootcamp and partitioning the hard-drive, and am left with 2 options - installing a virtual machine (virtualbox, parallels etc) or using application emula...

I also believe that Genes automatically assumes someone over 120 (i think) is deceased if using the hide living relatives option.

Just tried it, and if you select to just show the submitter records it says there are arent any. Shame, as an 'address book' feature is a really good idea. I obviously have an address book, but when you are contacting distant relatives from a list of names it takes a while to figure out who people a...

Very bizarre, I have created another flag, same icon, almost the same name, run a query and added the new flag.
And its staying there...
Wonder why the old one broke, oh well, fixed now.

I do, yes, sorry. The flag is still listed, still in the correct place in the order i want it listed in, still has the correct icon etc etc. I have already re-created it once this afternoon and re-flagging everyone - I thought it deleted because i didnt save while i was working with gedcom census, b...

One of my flags has just stopped working.
The flag is still listed, the icon, is still selected and the flag is recorded on relevant individuals, but its not working anymore.
I have tried changing the icon to see if it was an issue with the image i saved, but that hasnt resolved it.

I love it.
Such a simple idea, but brilliant!

Thanks Jane, I have just set one up for my parents to see how it works. On the records view it has now added a submitter tab, and shows the submitter record that I just created, and tells me that it is linked to 2 people (used both their 'all' tabs to link them to it, but I cant see anywhere that it...

An address tab / field seperate to the events tab.
Where you can record current postal address / email / telephone etc etc.
My basic old software had this function, and am a little surprised its not included on such a sofisticated program as FH

Forgive me if this has already been listed, but couldnt see it. The ability to have a correspondence log on each person to be able to track queries you have made to various sources in order to avoid duplication / going over the same ground - i.e. contacting a hospital for medical records / place of ...

How do you set the file root for this line of text?
Have just tried it. I am currently viewing a gg uncles tree in the diagram mode - which has set him to 1.

Not that I am complaining, I am just curious to know how it does it. How does it know where I have saved the relevant page of the census? I have various folders with my images in - one for each census year, and without fail, everytime I add on an image it takes me directly to the correct folder, no ...

Thank you very much.

Nice to know that I am not going completly bonkers yet. [smile]

I only wish I had discovered FH years ago, as its making me confirm all my sources with citations / documents etc. My previous software didnt really focus on source information at all.

Thanks again.

Afternoon all. Did I imagine this, or am i correct? If so, can someone please help. Does the function now exist to attach multimedia documents to events? I am sure that I read about this somewhere. I am almost certain that i read about attaching documemts / images to events. Thank you. Karen ID:3615

I think I have an idea what it is doing, but I dont know why.
For some reason for my set of my ancestors a marriage is recorded twice (there are 2 marriage tabs).
How do I delete one of the tabs?

I am trying to upload a screen dump as an examlpe so that you can see exactly what i mean, but it keeps failing. Will keep trying.

Why, when I open branches of my tree would it duplicate individuals, and link them with coloured lines? I have restored the installation settings as i was rying to fix it, re-built the tree, and its still happening. The people in question didnt marry into other lines of the tree, so they are not nee...
