Re: FT Analyzer is amazing
The Version 7.8 (Update) should appear in the Microsoft Store very soon, see - https://github.com/ShammyLevva/FTAnalyzer I suppose it's all down to whether the developer updates his own site download links at the same time as he makes his software update submission to the Microsoft Store, which is b...

For anyone interested this is what currently appears in the WineHQ FAQ regarding use of winhttp which is supported, but with limitations as described: "6.6.8 How do I configure a proxy? If you want to use a proxy server for all HTTP connections, simply set the http_proxy environment variable. On man...

Re: Adding honours e.g. MBE and JP to an individuals record
David, Yes that's my experience as well. Not sure if it's a 'bug' or a by design feature. However, I do find it useful for recording something that I want to see on screen without altering the name with some 'permanent' suffix, e.g. Mary /Smith/ née ? for a married woman whose maiden name is not yet...

Re: Adding honours e.g. MBE and JP to an individuals record
You should record the 'awards' using the 'name suffix', but preferably combined with Alternative Name(s) to which you can attach Facts/Events that will indicate when the various titles/qualifications etc. were awarded or came into use, i.e. if you add them to the standard Name entry for the individu...

Re: Family tree CD for use on MacBook Air?
The only qualifying info. I would add is that, if the MacBook Air is a recent purchase, i.e. since 2018, then it is unlikely to have any USB 1/2/3 Ports, only USB C. However, this should not really be a significant problem, as the vast majority of Mac Users with newer hardware will probably have pur...

Re: Question: Marriage Status
There seems to be some misunderstanding here. ANUL has been fully supported by GEDCOM as an event since version 4.0 and I'm afraid the Status indicator in Family Historian has nothing whatsoever to do with GEDCOM, or whatever its limitations might/might not be. It's simply a hard coded Calico Pie 'a...

Re: Connect two people
The suggestions so far seem to be based on an assumption that, simply because, the two children have been described as 'siblings' in a newspaper article (time, date and place unknown) that one of the two known adults (parents?) has a direct genetic link to both children. This may be the case, but is...

Presumably it puts FH some way behind others that have already adopted 5.5.1 as a standard, unless the question becomes: Will FH7 be fully 5.5.1 (and possibly 5.5.5) compliant? Of course, those that have already adopted 5.5.1, some several years ago, still have the same issues with data transfer bec...

Helen,
The Version in the AppStore does seem to have been updated (6 Dec 2019), but isn't recognised by the "Check Installed Plugins Against the Store" Plugin, presumably because it identifies as the same version number as the previous release.
