Colin, In Windows 7/8/8.1, you'll find the full settings through the 'C:\Program Data\Calico Pie' Folder. In a Wine (Crossover) installation you'll find them under drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Calico Pie I believe the Folder you've found is the 'core' installation and 'recovery' folder for ...

Kathy,

Love a challenge! Some limited leads: Walter Bashford is on the 1891 Census: RG12; Piece: 1031; Folio: 4; Page: 1 As a Page, working in the household of William E Oliver, Clerk in Holy Orders. James Aynscombe who married Ann and had two children with her, can be found in the 1881 Census - RG11; Piec...

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 th...

One key limiting issue is the lack of any multi-tasking ability in iOS and I'm not sure what specific features you need that cannot be found in OneNote or a possibly a Word Processor template structure, but the following may or may not offer at least some of the cross platform features and flexibili...

Mike, I think that at least part of the answer to your question may be that each Crossover/Wine application is a self-contained Virtual Computer System, so the name of the Mac Computer won't be relevant as the name 'Colin' (or whatever) will only be stored internally in the created application. If a...

John, The simplest way to get OS X and a Parallels Virtual Machine to share data nicely is to set up Parallels to run the VM in 'Coherence Mode'. This means that you can store/access all of your FH Project Data in the your Mac Documents Folder rather than in the Windows My Documents folder (which is...

You could try the method described in the following thread from the Norton Community site:

Hope it helps.

Mike,

Sorry if I have jumped to a false conclusion but, having reread Peter's message(s) several times, at no point does he say he has already tried filtering the folder list to just display his new/unlinked files.

Mervyn

Peter, If you select the media button on the toolbar, it should open up a screen listing "All Media" with a search box on the top left-hand side. If you click on the down arrow alongside the "Media List" box you can narrow down the list in various ways including picking "New/Unlinked Media". Hope th...

Nick, Yes, a 'drop-down list facility' for core UK County data that could be added to/edited by individual users might well be helpful, particularly to those facing the input of a large volume of data, but the core datafile for certificate input would need to comprise the County names in the style o...

Nick, I would avoid the idea of a "database of counties" if I were in your position. Whilst it might at first appear potentially useful, you would probably create as many issues for users and yourself as you would solve, i.e what if the user has used Yorkshire or Yorkshire (West Riding) as the Count...

Not sure about this. FH Source Record ID's are also preceded by an 'S' marker (in the Gedcom File), they just don't display on screen. So, if the direct import from TMG is working correctly it should, presumably, be importing these ID's properly but 'failing' to display the 'S' on screen. Is it poss...

Adrian, Take a look at http://alt-usage-english.org/english_british_uk_et_al.shtml#ireland and http://alt-usage-english.org/ireland.html for a relatively straightforward presentation of the geographic divisions and name differences over time. Basically Ireland or Eire more properly refers to the who...

PeterR, It's O.K. to install Family Historian 5 on two computers belonging to the same owner. Licence Agreement: http://www.family-historian.co.uk/licence-agreements "The Software must not be installed on more than one computer terminal at any one time, except that you may install it onto 2 computer...

Just one mild warning about using Mac's TextEdit software: It's more like Microsoft's Wordpad than Notepad and, by default, it normally creates and saves files as RTF text with formatting even though they may have txt extensions. You have to use TextEdit's preferences to set the program to be able t...

Bill, You'll give yourself an enormous headache (if you haven't already). Old Proverb: For this question there are many answers; and all of them are as right/wrong as you want them to be! For what it's worth, my general approach is: Place: UK: Village/Town/City (as appropriate), County, Country US a...

If you don't want to use Internet based solutions such as OneDrive, Google, Dropbox etc. then the easiest option is to work with an external USB Drive and a syncing utility such as Microsoft's own SyncToy 2.1 (mentioned in the Knowledge Base article above), FreeFileSync (a freeware application), or ...

It's usually referred to as "Commercial-in-Confidence" or, don't tell the opposition before you have to, because we have a business to position to protect! Witness the rush/competition to be the first in the market with a user-friendly way to transfer native TMG data. Just give out enough informatio...

For info. From an earlier life with TMG I believe the "date range for locations" refers to an ability to define a period during which a specific "location name" existed, i.e. to record dates of changes in Local Authority County names or Town/City names etc.; and if you defined such dates TMG would o...

Yes, just install the latest upgrade file. It's a cumulative upgrade.

No mention of checking Parish Registers above. Not sure if you can get to see them; but if not a transcript of the Earl Shilton Registers (1552-1910) can be purchased from: http://www.parishchest.com/earl_shilton_parish_registers_1552-1910__P9156 or from the Leicester Parish Registers site: http://l...

I'd tend to record two sets of parents, heavily noted to describe the inconsistencies, and hope that you can identify the 'why' of how she came to have two fathers (and mothers?) recorded at some time in the future. The end result might, of course, just come down to speculation if you can't find 're...

I haven't got a clue why they are charging that price but they see obviously see a market as an interim measure while they continue to develop their native Mac version of RootsMagic. The package being sold from every aspect of its description is simply a free standing Wine Wrapper (some call it a Bo...

The fact is that RootsMagic is already a doddle to install on a Mac or under Linux using Wine at no cost , taking no more than 5-10 minutes; and works fully. Whereas, installing Family Historian is, by comparison, a relatively complex process which still leaves a few irritating operational niggles, ...
