Family Historian User Group

Thanks

Hi all, I am just trying to install FH on a new laptop, and need to go back to my origonal 2.18 disk, which does not work on Windows 7. I went to the Wiki artical about the new installer version for Vista to fix this issue, but the link onto the FH web site nolonger works with the new redesign. Does...

Another place to try is the Ancestry.co.uk web site. They have a number of Dutch collections, although most are actually in dutch, so if you don't speak the languauge you may have trouble understanding them.

Hi Tuthmosis, Not sure what you are actualy querying here ? FHUG is a user support group run by the excellent Jane [grin] to enable users of the Family Historian (FH) Software to help each other. FHUG it self does not contain any records to help you with tracing your ancestors. Now, if you are real ...

Hi David,
If you are not in an immediate hurry, and dont mind sending me the file i might be able to knock something up that can reformat the report into a GEDCOM file for you.

Richard

Hi Nick,
i will send you a series of emails with the images then as well.

Richard

Hi Nick,
I just sent you an email with the details of the census.

Richard

Hi Nick,
Which one or do you mean all of them ?

Richard

Hi Nick, Do you have the 2 candian census details, if not i can send you a list of the fields. Also, as per Roger method i use this to enter a few of the US State Census, so if you wanted to add those in i can give you details for Iowa in 1925, Kansas for 1875, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915 and 1925 (i am ...

Hi Roger, It's very easy, just go to the records list and select both people (using the shift key). Then in the 'Edit' menu select the 'Merge/Compare records' option, this brings up a dialog box on which you can confirm you have the correct people, then select OK. You then get the 'Merge File' windo...

No worries Jan,
The offers always open if you change your mind.

Richard

Jan,
If you don't want to be tempted by the 25% discount. Send me a message with the details you are looking for and i will have a search of that collection for you.

Hi Nick, I would agree with most of the other comments. 1) use the physical description attribute, with approriate date/source 2) use the note field 3) yes 4) use the note field 5) do the same as the DoB to cal the date if no marriage present on the couple selected. 6) I like the idea of a custom at...

Hi Marilyn, The census images are not connected to the person as such, they are linked to the census 'source' record. The only other way to what you have found is to display the 'multimedia' tab, and then view the images directly from there. if you don't have this tab displayed, goto the 'View' Menu...

Hi, You don't normally record the source as the web site, you do that as part of a 'repository'. The repository describes the location and the source describes the records themselves. An example would be that you have a source of a parish records transcription, and the repository give the location a...

Hi,   I assume that you are talking about on an diagram ? The apperance of the diagram depends on who you have centered the diagram on, the ribbon is showing you that the same person is being reported twice, once as part of each family.    what you need to do is look at the different diagram types, ...

Hi RMoir36,
We will need a bit more information if we are to help you at all withyour problem [grin]

What sort of trouble are you having, i.e do you get an error message ?, does it load but not display the corrcet data ?

Richard

Hi Tim,
One of the hints they oftern give over on RootsChat is to try looking at when the photographic studio was in business as you know the name. That will normally give you a good Range, and if you are really luck some were only in business for a year or two [cool]

Richard

I would just like to say thanks to Nick, for his paitence and help in solving this problem.

Richard

Hi Nick,
No problem, i will send the requested details via email.

Richard

Hi Nick,   I have recently started getting an issue when i launch Gedcom Census. I get the following error message at startup : The current log file can not be written to (...directory/filename..). Error: Invalid procedure call or argument occured. Correct the error or if necessary change the log fi...

Hi Roy, Rather than using the 'Preview CD', have you just tried using Internet Explorer (or your chosen web browser) to directly access the web page from the 'CD' ? It is also possible that when you edit the web page it is being saved back to a different location to the actual 'CD', so the preview C...

Roy,
Another good site is http://www.rootschat.com, which has boards for various counties in the UK as well as other topics. It also has a very good surnames interest page.

Richard

Hi Rupert,
As you have most up to date versions, i don't know what else to suggest other than to contact the support team for parallels, as something is obviously not quite right.

Sorry

Richard

Hi rclrocco,
Which version of parallels & OS X are you using ? Also are you running anything else in the background ? I having been running Vista in parallels, and then running other Mac applications including photoshop (which is very resource hungry) with no problems.
