Nick I note on Census entries, when you add the Wife of the head, picking the name with maiden surname, the Auto text corrects the entry to her married name. I just added a marriage entry, where the mother of the groom was a witness, and it adds her with her maiden name to the auto text, and I had t...

Hi Nick Sorry, I couldn't work out how to post an image on the forum. I usually add an attachment to an email but with this forum, it wouldn't even allow me to copy and paste the image. Regards Lyn Lyn Go to this page to see how to add attachments to posts. https://fhug.org.uk/kb/kb-article/forum-u...

Ah, thanks Nick
Yes, that makes sense. I've been going to the parents tab and wondering why the options were greyed out, having seemed the natural place to add them!

Hi Nick, I consistently find that when adding a marriage, if a parent of the bride or groom isn't in my database, I can't add them via AS once I have added the bride and groom, as all the Edit>Add... items other than Unrelated Individual are greyed out/unavailable. The help file states If the indivi...

I find that sizing gets reset as soon as another window in FH is displayed such as Records Window, Map Window, etc. When you return to the Property Box Facts tab the horizontal bar is reset to roughly in the middle. Indeed it does. I hadn't tested that way. So if CP are allowing us to 'customise' t...

It is certainly consistent here, just tried it and as you say, it reverts when you restart.
Bug? Enhancement request?

I'm intrigued by your Facts display - how did you get the symbols in the Facts?

Does John mean this: That's blue highlights, but the default action.
I am able to change between ".....not referred" or the correct one?
Highlighting them (in blue) means I am using them for the record, as per the 'hint' at the top of the window

You can't paste directly into the message using CTRL V, when composing or replying to a post, you will see ATTACHMENTS at the bottom, which is where you upload and add your image into the post.

You need to use the Everyone Diagram, which will, as you have discovered, show her with her parents in a separate small tree.

In which case what is confusing then Lorna, is that Robert's first screenshot shows 'Everyone Diagram' on the header

Not sure what you are asking - it's done what you said it wouldn't do in the initial post has it not?

I never use diagrams to add people, I find it far more logical in the Focus Window as Mike Tate suggested.

I updated from 10 to 11 a good while ago, on both laptop and PC and haven't really had any issues with it. You've not really detailed what the issue is John, other than say it really has messed up the copy and paste system What exactly is messed up? How are you copying and pasting - using keyboard s...

Same here, I've been using Windows 11 for some time now. It has changed a bit on the right mouse context menu, but still very usable. I tend to use the keyboard shortcuts anyway CTRL+C = Copy CTRL+V = Paste CTRL+X = Cut - if you need to remove some text to paste it elsewhere. As Helen says, you need...

John

This seems very similar to when you asked in this 'Travel' thread https://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/viewtopic ... 32&t=21736

Thanks, Brian - I have a general idea, but for the template want to see the real thing in order to figure out the rich text template :) I appreciate the link... If it helps Teresa, the questions asked are detailed in the following article https://familytreemagazine.com/heritage/canadian/1931-census...

WOW, that's a bit strong mxy. Of course we all want to do Genealogy, and these are the very tools a lot of us have chosen to use. You can make it as simple or 'techy' as you chose. FH is an amazing tool in its versatilty and abilty to work in those simple or technical ways. To each his own. I would ...

I too welcome the changes to the forum. Hopefully it will make it clearer for beginners to advanced users alike, where to find appropriate information/assistance.

Neil

Thanks both, I have created a custom event as suggested.

It doesn't, but the Change Specific Fact plugin is designed for exactly that scenario.

Thanks Mark
I've installed it and selected the 'marriage', but in the New Event fields, the Blessing fact isn't there?

Hi all Some time ago now, I added a 'marriage' of our neice, in France, and found subsequently it was a blessing, and the legal registry office marriage was 3 days later in London. Is there a way to change the original marriage into a blessing? I tried the 'Change any Fact' plugin, but can't figure ...

I'm a bit mystified as to why it needs to be set manually. I've never had issues with my PC or laptop keeping time correctly, and they always corrects the +1 or -1 hour on the correct day. Windows should sync from time.windows.com. I can manually press that to check it's up to date if there's any do...

Little.auk - Regarding your first paragraph in 21799|Media Thumbnails , you might find it much easier to Download the census images from Findmypast rather than printing them. Use the third Option "Download record" - to the left of Viewer controls. They download as JPGs. Trevor I was originally post...

Let's not start a Mac vs Windows argument as this has been going on for 30 years now. Suffice it to say I disagree and really don't like the mac interface, but we are all entitled to our opinions. Don't hold your breath with regards to AS for Mac. 😁 ...I also assume not a lot of use without a FH Ma...

That’s the way I do it in V7

Hi Nick I haven't got a Ransomeware problem. Mine is Norton 360. I wondered whether it would be sensible to uninstall AS completely and then reinstall an earlier version? And, yes, I tried to run as adminstrator. Thanks Janine Nick referred you to this article, 3rd item https://fhug.org.uk/kb/kb-ar...

V7.7.2 was a minor update Nick did to add back in short names I believe, so I think it’s held back from AS finding it as an update.
