Family Historian User Group

I think most people would be in agreement, it should be opt in not opt out. We will have to wait for the next update to see if it has changed. I presume Calico are aware of the concern. We do not know what agreement there is between FH and Myheritage. Would be interesting to see how it works with o...

Thanks.

So including the option at the install stage provides no benefit for the user but only the service provider and MH who may 'trap' unwitting users into 'opting-in'.

If you were to opt-out at the installation stage would that option still be installed but merely switched off?

I agree

The main issue for me is that, as far as I am concerned, the data which was on my private computer was supplied to myheritage without my informed consent. Informed consent is described by the ICO here https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/1555/direct-marketing-guidance.pdf and here ht...

Goid work Nick! This is a must for FH users!

. . . and to you and all here!

does anything yet beat http://www.cyndislist.com/ Cyndislist is a very comprehensive site but, as I have explained, is not based on the same criteria as the one I mentioned. Aside from the statistical usage table the site http://www.genealogyintime.com is also very handy at keeping one up to date w...

An interesting list which seems to have one glaring error and one big omission. It indicates that Family Search is only useful in the USA, which it is not, and has completely ignored FreeBMD which must be one of the most used resources in the UK! I am sure that others can come up with other sites t...

Found the pointers to sites in this link useful

Jane, I think the idea is to show approval to the originator without making the topic more difficult to follow with extra posts. I suppose a bit like Facebook. I would also add agree + disagree, + thanks etc. Of course what we have is good, but often when these things are asked for it is a lot of t...

There are many posts which I have found useful but I don't want to clutter-up the topic by adding another psts just saying I liked it. How about a like button?

Extended Date Function for MS Excel: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/file/extended_date_functions_xdate/ "Description: Excel cannot work with dates prior to the year 1900. The Extended Date Functions add-in (XDATE) corrects this deficiency, and allows you to work with dates in the years 0100 t...

I have been surprised about the lack of competitive dedicated software/apps seeing how interest in genealogy has blossomed. I thought Excel would be a help but its DATE field only deals with dates from 1900. You have to be creative to manipulate dates prior to 1900. I am keeping an eagle-eye on your...

I have to say that I follow posts from jmurphy with interest as we seem to be in pursuit of the same Holy Grail of genealogy software. Unfortunately for me, while I like Clooz and GenQuiry, I need something which is compatible with my iPad. My research as opposed to recording of data is done either ...

I posted this elsewhere but thought it may be useful to copy it. Re: 10946|workflow and getting organized by makfai » Sat Dec 20, 2014 6:38 pm I think I may have found something which suits me! I have installed the Handbase* (database) app on the iPad and created a database. This can be uploaded to ...

I do like OneNote. I dump things in then analyse them idc.

I suppose I would like a cross-platform GenQuiry but, as most of my research is done on the iPad, a decent research logging app for the iPad would be good. I keep experimenting with Ilaro but don't find it as intuitve as is claimed.

I wondered if anyone has yet found the research log/manager we seem to be ever searching for. As you will see from my signature I have not made it easy by mixing MS and Apple (iPad) hardware but I like FH! As you will also see, I am experimenting with a lot of apps! OneNote (since MS improved compat...

Will bear that in mind.

I recommend having a look at MobileFamilyTree 7, by Synium Software GmbH. I export my trees to GED files, copy them to my DropBox folder, then open them on my iPad in MFT7. I am glad I read this and it worked perfectly. Emailed Gedcom from FH desktop to iPad and opened in MFT no probs. Tried same w...

The name of the game seems to be integrating our desktop software with these big vendors. If I were ruler of the universe, I would rather have seen Family Historian team up with Find My Past; if I have to add another sub, or dump Ancestry for something else, I would much rather have Find My Past th...

For those who like card index style record keeping there are apps for iPad and iPhone here http://www.denvog.com/sitemap/

They are also compatible with Scrivener on Windows

Thought I would give this a bump to see if there are any new ideas.

Still haven't found a good research logger for the iPad.

Anyone tried this?
