Hello Mike,

Thank you very much for your help.

I have used the diagram bit and created a pdf file which is just what I want. With my lack of knowledge, your help has been invaluable.
Thanks again,

Hello Mike, Thanks again for your help. My contact gave me access to her site on Ancestry UK.....It gave me a tree of names, places and dates of BMD, that was it (I am sure that you have seen this type of AUK tree already). I would like to reciprocate with a tree of this type. So that she can see vi...

Hello Mr Tatewise... Many thanks for coming back to me so promptly. I am sorry if I have caused confusion re website publication, treesplitting and tree diagrams. I am only an amateur when it comes to using the full complement of options in FH. I use Ancestry UK along with other research programs fo...

Hello everyone, Haven't posted for a while.....but now I need to split my tree and I would like to use the resulting data on the create a web site option through FH 6 (for the first time). At the moment I do not wish to use ancestry uk. I have spent the last three hours trying to do this via the FHU...

Thanks Mike,

A good solution.

I'll give it a try today and let you know later whether I was successful.

All the best,

Hello all, I wonder if somebody has the answer to the following scenario. I have a large family history database that I have imported from the Generations software package (which worked rather well I think).  I wrote a fair bit of information in the notes section of that program so not all the data ...

I would like to thank everyone for their responses to my reinstallation issue. I will try out the reinstallation instructions passed on by Mike and see if I can achieve a smooth transition! I haven't used the software for a little while due to other commitments.....but this site never ceases to amaz...

Hello Nick and Jane, Many thanks for your replies.....I have had a hunt around and have found these files in a Family Historian safe file. I think that I am ok then and all I need to do is to search my e-mails for the Licence numbers (which I am sure that I have).  Do I need any others? upgrade_fh_v...

Hello, I have tried searching for the answer to the title but can't find the answer. I originally bought ver 3 with the free upgrade to v4 online.  I then bought v5 online and upgraded. My laptop is throwing a wobbly and I think that I need to re-instal the operating system back to Vista.  Is there ...

Hello there, I have just installed AS today and started to use with a new family for testing purposes, but after entering the head and spouse, I tried to enter new sibling, child and parent and after each of these, I get the following error....have I done something wrong??  It is a test family. I us...

Thanks Jane,

Have sent an e-mail to support, and in the meantime checked my e-mail and a link has been sent through.

Excellent service!

Hello everyone, I bought version 3 in the offer period at the end of last year which entitled me to a free upgrade to version 4 when it was released in May. And I upgraded at the time to version 4 and installed version 4.0.2 later and all was well until my 4 month old laptop expired last week and I ...

Thanks Jane,

Your a star, I am in the process of following your instructions.

All the best,

Hello from Pyrenees Pirate, Having purchased V3 and then upgraded via the V4 free upgrade in May with no problems, I have now purchased a new laptop for the sole purpose of Family History and word processing. Please can somebody shed any light on how I can download a copy for the new laptop whilst t...

Hello PeterR, Thanks for your input. Have been saving up this file for a while now in anticipation of testing it with V4, so would prefer to use it with V4 to see how it stacks up. I am sure that you understand. What is a bit puzzling is that some people seem to be using V4 already and it's official...

I am still waiting patiently for the free V3 to V4 upgrade. I know it is not the 15th May yet, but it is close. Has anybody received the free V3 to V4 online update yet? Or am I one of the last users to receive the upgrade? I have a massive paper file that I want to load on to the new version in tim...

Sorry for the delay in responding to the replies that I have received via e-mail, I have been away for a week or so. Thank you all for your input, I shall have to make a decision soon as my trial is finishing! Thnaks also to jmurphy for the Source / Citation explanation, I shall carry out a test run...

Thank you very much rclrocco for your kind response. I used Reunion as well on an early PC and thought that it was good, but alas, I do not own a Mac (yet)! Your idea of using separate programs for different families is a good idea, I might just try this. My database has been built up over thirty ye...

Hello everyone, I just need a little more convincing on the purchase of FH3. I am trying it out at the moment. Unfortunately, I have been a bit unlucky in the past when selecting Genealogy software.... I started with Reunion for PC (then they made it Mac only), then I selected Generations GS (I stil...
