I came to FH back in February with Version 3. I used to use Family Tree Maker and thought I had transferred my family files OK. However I have just discovered several missing pieces of data. I am not certain how this has happened. I now use FH V.4. I still have FTM on my computer and would like to t...

Wish I had bought V3 on a disc instead of download. Would have made life a lot more easy.

Hello Jane, thank you for responding. My problem is I downloaded upgrade to V4 today and dont have a copy of V3. I have my e-mail with registration key etc. but cant find where to download V3. Can you please offer any help. The two computers I mentioned are both mine. The desktop is behind me as I t...

Downloaded and installed today. No problems and I just love it.

Linda

I have a desktop computer and a laptop. I downloaded version 3 in February onto my laptop which I subsequently purchased. I have today downloaded and installed the upgrade to V4.

Am I allowed to use this software on my second computer and if so how do I get it installed.

Thank you.

15th May is rushing at us and no sign of the e-mail. I know I said not to rush things (with the thought of ironing out any bugs)but would really like to receive my e-mail to download.

Looking forward to the download.

Six days left and counting.

Although I dont have my upgrade to V4 just yet, I have had a look at Jane's 'How To Talkies' and want to say a huge thank you to her. They are brilliant and will make my use of V4 so much easier.

Thank you Jane.

Kind regards - Linda

Quote from FH web site Customers who purchased a licence for the download version of version 3 since November 26th 2008, will be emailed a link for a free upgrade to version 4. For technical and logistical reasons, we regret that there will be a delay in sending out these emails. We hope to have all...

Will we get an e-mail when its ready to download?

Looking forward to downloading, although I shall have to wait until I get home to my BB connection because at the moment working with a mobile BB dongle and it is sllowww.

No problem, got there in the end. Liking this more and more.

Hello Jane, I have got as far as Tools Preferences File Load/Save and have ticked the box to enable auto-save but cant see where to make FH the default to open the file. Is it the box 'Exclude other applications extensions to Gedcom'?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello Jane, excellent link, I have bookmarked it. Also went into My Documents, created a folder for Family Historian, then a sub folder for MyFileGED and put my first file in there. Will add my others as I convert them and bring them over.

Looking forward to using this software.

Regards - Linda

Hello Jane and thank you for your welcome. Pleased you pointed that out about where to store files. Shall have a look at your link straight away. I didnt drag and drop straight onto the folder icon but opened the folder, but will now move it. I work with XPHome SP3 - would welcome your advice. Many ...

Played around with Windows Explorer and managed to drag and drop my file over to Family Historian Program Folder.

When I first tried to open the file it again popped up with FTM box but redirecting the search to FH did the trick. Now opens where I want it too.

Thanks for looking

Hello, I have just joined the User Group and this is my first question.  I am currently using Family Historian within the 30day trial period (will certainly be purchasing the key). I have been using FTM and imported as a GED file my data from there.  However my FH file, when I click on 'Open' brings...
