Re: Lookup Missing Census Facts / BMD Records errors

I've downloaded the 2 'lookup' plugins, but have no idea how to start using them, and can't find any instructions anywhere. Please could you point me in the direction of instructions / or tell me how to use them, starting with the basics! Thanks, Ruth

Changing parent

Apologies for asking this because I'm sure it's very basic... but I can't work out how to change someone's mother... I've discovered the mother of a child is not the father's wife's, but someone else's (a freed slave, as it happens)... I've got them linked to their real mother, but can't get them un...

Re: Windows 8

Ignore last question as Calico Pie have sent me relevant instructions and links... thanks to them for their response - excellent service... (I doubted that they'd be there on 31 December!)

Re: Windows 8

Hi Mike - I want to reinstall FH on new PC. On old PC I have downloaded FH5 upgrade and still have registration key.

I didn't save the software download.

I can't work out from instructions in the knowledge base how to reinstall on new PC (Windows 8).

Is it possible to give me simple instructions?

gedcom files and ipad

I just turned my wifi off - yes ancestry app works with it off... but you obviously can't access the tips... and I have to say, having spent the last two hours playing with the tips, it's BRILLIANT - instant access to records without paying a penny and without having to do any searches...

gedcom files and ipad

I've just set up an account with ancestry - simply put in email and password - no subscription. On my pc I uploaded gedcom file from FH into ancestry and there it is on the ipad app with all the green leaf hints with previews of original documents and all - no payments needed (unless you want to dow...

gedcom files and ipad

Following advice, have downloaded GedView app (and yes, easy to save file in dropbox and then import)... what's disappointing is the really restrictive family tree diagrams. I assumed there were settings to change no. of generations etc., but no. There's a gap in the market for an app which can show...

projects and ged com files

Hi Jane - thanks for your reply - I thought I'd managed to merge the file into the project, and also I merged two projects together. I thought it had all gone OK, but I now get this pop up box(see text below) if I open the Project; The info. report says there are 11 duplicate records, but in my proj...

projects and ged com files

I've got myself in a muddle with adding new info. to a gedcom file, and the information isn't now in my project file (prior to this the project file was the most up to date version of my research)... they both have exactly the same name... why isn't the project file showing the updated information? ...
