The date on the gravestone would probably have been suppied by relatives - suggesting false recollection or poor communication to the stone mason.

I almost never use the Location field when searching places. I use the Keyword field instead and receive accurate results.

My filename naming convention for images of baptisms marriages and burials are ... Baptisms 1768 Joseph-Frederick Bloggs & Susan White Marriages 1765 Frederick Bloggs = Susan White Burials 1819 Joseph Bloggs If there is more than one for the same year I add suffixes 1 2 3 4 as necessary.

Actually I had read the whole of this thread. I have 44 Family Historian projects mainly because I help lots of unrelated people, have one-name studies, and a one-place study. Yes, quick and dirty trees are often useful too. I only made my comment because it is common for folks not to realise that f...

Going back to basics, I am wondering why you are using multiple projects? One large project is most frequently recommended so that everyone is in one place, therefore only one Records Window.

I too have been receiving two copies in recent months. Today however I have received just the one copy - thanks.

Norm, try Genealogy Printers https://www.genealogyprinters.com and My History https://www.my-history.co.uk/acatalog/F ... rvice.html

I can right click a .pdf file and Open With > IrfanView as a .jpg - quick and easy without going anywhere else.

Also, that method will open a multi page PDF as multiple images.

I record and display both birth and baptism with equal priority. They are both primary source records.

I upload the PDFs to the Wordpress gallery, then insert this button link in the Wordpress page (in this example)
http://wordpress.xxxxxxxxx.org.uk/wp-co ... xxxxxx.pdf

For the centre Preview column I use the Wordpress plugin "WP Image Zoom".

This is how I display FH pdf diagrams on a Wordpress website. Works well, including large diagrams on a single page.

I too had problems printing to PDF when my last Windows update was KB5000802. Since then I have installed more recent Windows updates that have cured the problem.

Actually the bare bones basics of FH4 and FH7 are the same/similar. If you have not gone into the depths of FH4 I suggest that it might not be such a steep learning curve. If possible, play with the free trial of FH7 on a completely different computer using the sample project to make your mind up wh...

I would add that family member just as you would all the other family members in the household. The easiest method is to record that family member in FH first where he/she belongs in the family tree. The fact that he/she was from a different household and a servant at the time is less important than...

I am beginning to experiment but am falling at an early hurdle. My GEDCOM downloaded from an Ancestry family tree contains one media record as a test. 1 OBJE 2 FILE http://trees.ancestry.com/rd?f=image&guid=d4e33cf7-b158-4268-92c1-c32f20c103c4&tid=168376495&pid=96 2 FORM jpg But FH7 does not import ...

It is still possible to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 free of charge.

I have a simplistic approach to this issue. Within the Media folder for each FH project I have a subfolder BMDs with subfolders Banns Baptism Birth Burial Death and Marriage. For birth certificates and baptism images my file naming convention is 1852 Joe-Joseph Bloggs & Sarah Smith. For death certif...

Congratulations Mike! And to all of the other experts that post regularly in here that are nowhere near the 20000 mark.

Actually the Census option mentioned is used by many users. We are all extremely grateful.

As digital storage is cheap, maybe best not to crop images such as this - to show the context of the whole page.

Thank you Jane so much for updating this plugin. It works well, and will save me and others a lot of time.

I leave my Unknown People blank. My Records Window is customised so that I can easily identify who they are.

Maybe someone with a Windows 10 Cloudbook could try installing FH6?
