Family Historian User Group

HI, I have sent you an email on here with my email address - if you email the PDF I will attempt to convert them for you.

Regards,
Adrian

Bit of a long shot, but it might be worth putting the tree you have done so far on Genes Reunited and seeing if you get any matches or contacts. A more passive way of doing family research you might say, letting others do the work for you

Thanks Jane. It looks like Ceedo costs money, although it does have a free trial. I think I'll probably stick with what I've got. I'm lucky enough to have a laptop as well as a desktop so I can usually take the laptop to record offices, etc., and I have my tree on the web under TNG as well. It would...

Apologies for dragging this from the archives. I would like to echo SimonDaw's question, has anyone managed to get FH3 running under PortableApps? I've downloaded PA and installed it on my USB drive, but it looks like it will only run the Apps specially written for it ... which do not include FH3. I...

Unfortunately I have found a number of missing pages in Ancestry, and although I have reported them I have never received a reply or seen any additions/corrections made. It leaves one wondering whether those 'missing' ancestors really are missing or just missing from Ancestry's pages. I find it is a...

Hmmm, well an encylopædia has more facts than you could shake a stick at, but most encylopædias are very much copyrighted; and as the post above implies, a library would not photocopy a page more than once of an educational textbook with nothing but facts in it. There's also the question of 'fair us...

I shall send that to the next person to nick images from my website. I'm not sure it would stop them in their tracks, though. [rolleyes]

I think the legal side of things is so complicated that only the briefest of comments is possible on that aspect. Certainly if the work is your own creation you automatically own the copyright to it, and there is no harm in stating so. From a practical point of view though, you might as well face th...

You can order a certificate online from the General Records Office at http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ You will need to register first. Follow the 'Order a certificate now' link on the main page. Choose the 'Death Certificate (Overseas Events)' options and fill in the 'Year in which t...

Yes! Is the good news. An example where the multimedia might be a scan of a birth certificate: click on 'Insert' on the menu, and then 'Source'. Enter a title for the source, for example 'Birth Certificate - Fred Blogs'. Fill in some of the other fields if you're feeling confident. Now, click on the...

I find them a bit hit-or-miss; I have not found anything in them that is not already in the IGI and frequently the IGI has more. I have the Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Cornwall volumes on CD from the now-defunct Archive CD Books. They weren't cheap, although I did get them in their half-price clo...

Thanks Jane. I couldn't find anything obvious either, I just wondered if it might be tucked away somewhere. Oh well.

I apologise if this has been asked before; I tried a search but couldn't find anything and I couldn't find anything in Help. By default, the Events tab of the Individual Details window (I think that's what it's called) shows the birth events of the related children, and pressing the little button on...

Perhaps he means 'File Hound' rather than 'Family Historian'? It is a download manager.

I agree with you Jan, things that I find useless others may find invaluable; my post above was purely my opinion in that regard. I also agree that no program is perfect, but there is a point at which some things generate more problems than they solve and (again, for me) this is the case with this so...

Just to muddy the waters, if you look how he finishes the 'er' in 'worker' on line 4, it is almost exactly the same as the end of the 'Ca' word to the left of it ... so the word could end in 'er'.

I don't particularly want to bang on about this, as everybody has certainly made valid points, but the FreeBMD philosophy is that there are a number of 'stages' of their development (three, I think). I can't recall what they are exactly, but having read it through once on a wet afternoon it basicall...

I downloaded and tried out the trial version. I understand what Aulus means now; the program scans the GEDCOM OK but does not recognise that any sources have been found, as Aulus and Jan explained (my misunderstanding, sorry). I still think that their website claim that it works with GEDCOMs is misl...

I can see 'Lime Works' as the first words on the second line, and 'General' as the first word on the fourth line.

The 1st, 3rd and 4th lines all seem to have the same last word starting with 'Ca' but nothing comes to mind at the moment.

That rather conflicts with what is says on their FAQs on their website: What genealogy software does GenSmarts work with? - Family Tree Maker (including FTM 2008 ) - PAF 5 (blah blah) - Gedcom Makes me think Aaron in Support didn't know what he was talking about - especially as Jan above says she us...

I think the problem might be that for every careful, thorough researcher that only submits corrections based on alternative but valid evidence, there are a dozen others who submit what they either assume, hope or guess to be the correct entry based on assumption, guesswork or squinting at the screen...

I can see why you would think that Andrew, however in close up it looks like the numbers are split - there appears to be a slot cut into the number plate with the two letters either side. I'm not sure if this enlargement will come out very well on the forum, but I'll give it a go. http://www.fhug.rj...

Hi Bill I think you have answered your own question in a way - there *is* no definitive spelling! It certainly makes things more, err, interesting trying to find people in indexes, etc., as you have found out. The way I think about is that our ancestors lived in compeletely different world than toda...

It's not a function of GC I'd use, but it's good of you to offer it Nick. Like others here I prefer to only have one birth event; I then record any additional information or discrepancies in an attached note.

Digging round on Google it seems that the PRO Indexes are available on CD, you could try the Parish Chest. There are a number of links half way down this thread: http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6918 Lastly, I would take good note of this caveat: 'In 1888 the General Post Off...
