I am looking to upload my tree onto Ancestry, but I dont want details of any living persons. I have seen on peoples trees where it just shows the word Private and nothing else. Some of the living individuals I have, unfortunately I have no birth date for. Please can someone advise on how to make all...

Thanks Mike, all sorted now, a great help

I think I have got so mixed up and would be grateful for a little bit of help please. I have one father, who after his first wife died married again. I seem to have the same child attached to both mothers and cannot change this or delete this child without deleting it from both mothers. I had a simi...

I have downloaded the above plug in, which works but it is giving me people who have got baptism/birth records as well as people who need them. Where does it get the information from and do I need to change anything on my tree to get just the people who need them. Thanks for any help.

Thanks so much Mike, now I can get on with what I want to do

Please could anyone help, I have managed to put a census tab on the property box, I thought I did it right but it is only showing the first census even if they have been found on all of them. What am I doing wrong. I really love what this programme can do but don`t think I am clever enough for it lo...

I am looking to print out my tree on a plotter with a continuous roll of paper. Please could anyone give me any idea of how to go about setting out my tree so it will print out okay. I am sure I had some way of doing this ages ago but just cant think how to do this. I have towards 1,000 people on my...

Thanks all of you, will try that out later

I want to add the parents and siblings of a non blood related spouse to a census entry. If I add them as a new person it adds them to my family tree and I just want a record of them, not actually to appear on the tree. If I add a new parent, or siblings do they have to be added to the tree or is the...

Thanks William, that`s brilliant, I have done it, thanks a lot for your help.

I have an Thomas Turnock who married a second time after his first wife died, his son Arthur is attached to the wrong wife. Is there an easy way to swap the child to the correct mother. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Marilyn

Thanks Mike, that helps a lot

I am trying to do a query to list everyone, which tells me who I have got in the 1939 Register and who I havent. When I first added the new fact to my tree I did one as an event and the rest as attributes as I wasnt sure which it should be. The query seems to show the one person who I put in as an e...

Thanks for your help Lorna, I managed to do that but couldn`t get any further, I opened the name in a diagram once I had named the flag and found the the edit box to add a record flag to diagram. Took me ages to realise that, thanks again

Please could anyone help, I have been unable to use my Family Historian Programme for quite a while and have been going round in circles trying to do what was the simplest thing. I have just made a query for persons for whom I have obtained Army Records but cannot get into the screen which allows me...

Thanks for all your help, I will try that way

Mike, thanks for all the trouble you have gone to with the above information, but unfortunately you have lost me completely. Dont think I explained what I needed properly. I am trying to create a column which lists the parents of spouses of say uncles, aunties, cousins etc., who are not direct ances...

Just wondered, if there is a way to do a column on a query for spouses parents who are not blood related, and not added to the tree. At the moment I have them written in the notes for birth, and have added that to the query I need it in. Just wondered if there was an easier way. Any help would be ap...

Thanks very much for that Mike, works a treat, just what I wanted.

Thanks both of you, but this lot is way above my head at the moment, maybe try and attend one of your courses sometime Jane, but they are a bit far away from where I live.

Thanks again

I have just succeeded in doing a flag tab for the property box with the very kind help of Mike Tate. (Thank you Mike). One of the flags I have entered is Children who have died before aged 21. Just wondered is it possible to have some sort of indication of the number of children who have died of a c...

I have done it, thanks for all your help Mike, really appreciated

Marilyn

Thanks for that, I tried it and it half works. I did the flag tab for Birth Certificate and Marriage Certificate, but only the Birth Certificate appears under the flag tab. Should parts 1 and 2 be the same flag, or have I done something wrong. I have tried to go into it again and ended up with anoth...

I saw a topic on here which displayed a flags tab on the property box, detailing all the flags for that particular individual, i.e. birth, marriage and death certificates obtained and any other information flagged on the diagram. I have all the flags on my diagram which I want but like the idea of t...

Its okay, just found out how to do it I clicked on the reorder tab at the top right hand corner.
