Family Historian User Group

A lot of good suggestions here. Nevertheless as long as I have understood, there is currently no option to pick up one of the given names to be underlined. I agree with Lorna, I see Tony more as a nickname. I agree sometimes the nickname is so strong that I could even consider it as a given name, bu...

Hello Everyone. I am working hard to improve my Diagrams on Family Historian adding Test Scheme, backgrounds, etc. But I am not getting one important thing for me. In Germany it is very usual for people to receive many given names. But only one of them as the actual given name used during their life...

Thanks Tate and Jane!

Hi Everyone, Is there any way to customize Fan chart cells to have different colors? I would appreciate using conditions like we have in traditional Diagram charts to customize each cell to color according to a particular fact each person has. Something like this app does for FamilySearch. https://f...

Thanks again Mike!

It has worked!

Dear All, I have moved my media files in subfolders and now I need to relink them. Which is the best option? I saw some plugins on the FH website, but it looks lke they move back the files to the root location. I want the opposite... to update the project to update its links to the media in subfolde...

Mike,

I have managed to eliminate the commas!

tks again!

Hi Mike,

I believe I have managed to get the results as you explained.

I removed the prefix, and so on.

But now I have mane place with extra commas.. even before the places?

How do I remove them?

Hi Mike, Well, I kind of gave up using addresses and I believe I will handle better using only places in my files. Regarding columns, I do not have any strong rule for Addresses and Places. My data covers many different countries, so for each one the amount of columns varies. That is why I just want...

Hello, I believe this is a quite simple question, but I am struggling to find any previous answer in our forum. How do I merge Address and Place together? I just want to merge, no need to add commas, spaces, or anything like this.... PLACE = ADDRESS, PLACE I have tried using the plugin Rearrange Add...

Hi Jane, I have tried your custom query adding all ancestors (without ticking spouse box) and after adding the descendants. :-) I got 5,502 people. The same output from the pre-existing query "Relations, Excluding Relations by Marriage". I believe they do the same task. Regarding the siblings. You a...

Hi All, Thanks for your prompt responses and support here. As suggested by Mike, let me clarify a little bit my request. I need do add only people that may share DNA with myself. This would exclude a lot of people from my tree, as Lorna has well explained. E.g. 1) My father has married three times. ...

Hi Colleagues, I want to upload my family tree to FTDNA and I was wondering if I can filter and export only people that may share DNA with myself. I believe this would include all my direct ancestors, siblings of ancestors, descendants of ancestors... The only people to be excluded would probably be...

Hi Mike!!! It is working pretty good! It will save me a lot of time. The final Result Set list is just great to help understanding what has been updated. Some old Source records did end up with no citation at all and I have followed your suggestion deleting all of them. Thanks a lot again for your s...

Hi Mike! You have raised very good questions and concerns I have not thought about before. Let es see if I can cover the points: 1) My citations apply only to Individual and Family records, and Facts. I do not recover using citations to any other records... ;) 2) My citations that have Where Within ...

Hi Mike,

I tried reading the plugin guide, but it was too complex to my knowledge..
Whenever you have some spare time I would really appreciate your support creating the Plugin...

Thanks a lot!

Hi Mike,

At the end I am actually trying to merge the Source title and Where within Source citations, as I posted in the other query Merging "Source" with its related "Where within Source" (13530).

Search and Replace does not helps on that, I guess..

Pedro

Hi Mike, I have update the Family Historian Version to show version using the User Control Panel link at top of this FHUG web page. Let's see it works now. Yes, I want to switch from Method 2 Source Citations to Method 1 Source Citations. I am currently doing the transcription on the Text From Sourc...

Hi, I am using FH 6. Here is one example: Source title: Church S. Paul Source citation: Baptism book 1930, n. 100 I want it to be merged as a Source title only: Church S. Paul - Baptism book 1930, n. 100 The Source title is cited more than once with several different Where within fields. I would exp...

Thanks for the clarification.

That was what I suspected.
I am not familiar with creating plugins. Maybe I need to learn that also.

What I will try is to merge both Source and Where within Source.
Maybe that makes my task easier.

I have just post a question about doing this...

Hi all,

This follows on from Help to create a query - list of all (Where Within Source) (13515).

Is there any way to automatically merge this two fields?

"Source" with its related "Where within Source"

Pedro

Dear All, I am trying to create a simple query to filter all my sources that contains the word "x" (a parameter) on the "Where Within Source" field. I have created a source query but it shows no result at all. I tried many of the "Where Within Source" suggestions listed on the Data Reference Assista...

Thanks a lot!
It worked just fine here!!!

Dear Colleagues,

A long time ago I started adding sources to my ancestors names.
Now I regret that, since I only add Sources to event facts like birth, baptism, marriage, etc..

Does any one knows an easy and quick way to delete / unlink sources to names?

Regards,
Pedro

Guys, I am trying to migrate from FTM to FH. And I need help to understand how FH works.. Enclosed I have two pictures of the Sources view page on FTM and the Sources view page on FH. Where do I access citations on FH? It is not clear to me. FTM: http://www.fhug.org.uk/images/uploads/slide1.jpg FH h...
