You get them from the plugin store at https://pluginstore.family-historian.co.uk/

I can possibly tweak the converter for you if you want to PM me a sample of your existing spreadsheet.

Note that Colin's spreadsheets have an ID column that performs the same function as the REFN column. Be aware that his spreadsheets do not support family relationships for parents, children, or spouses. As I said @Mike basic import, I haven't done anything with that converter for about 8 years. Lot...

Some time ago I wrote a simple XL to Ged converter not as sophisticated as Mike's but it does work. You do, however, need to put your data into a spreadsheet template. If you want to give that a try it is available at https://orba-design.com/genealogy/xl-to-ged/

I transfer the data via a thumb drive so that should be ok.

And Thanks Mike.

Yes that is what I do to so no issues as long as you make sure you copy the files across if you have updated anything on the laptop.

Joe

I run v7.0.3 on Mojave on my laptop with Crossover 20. The data integrity will rely upon how your share your data between the 2 machines.

Diane

Are you using V7.0.3+ of FH? If you are, then sorry I have no idea as that runs fine on mine under Mojave. I did have problems with earlier versions.

It may be worth looking at an alternative such as the SVG Family Tree Generator. This will import your gedcom and produce a tree in either HTML or SVG format for displaying on your website. There is an article on the Knowledgebase about this SVG Family-Tree Generator

Yes that is correct if you uninstall one it can be re-used elsewhere. I took the inferece from the above that you could have 2 installs on one machine and because the Mac address was the same then they would be regarded by CP licence validation as one device. This is not the case they are regarded a...

As far as installation on PlayOnMac (POM) is concerned, I suspect that it locks up during/after the installation of NovaPDF and can't recover because the 'Windows Virtual Printer' can't be created. If you 'force quit' POM after lock up and then relaunch it you would probably find the everything has...

Thanks Mervyn, that’s a useful clarification. Presumably the same applies to Wine under Linux? Somebody who has a spare second licence and wants to play with an emulator might be more inclined to go ahead if the host PC is effectively invisible. Mark This is not the case; during the beta testing, I...

With the release of v7.0.3 of Family Historian the major issue with running FH on Crossover has been resolved in that reports now display correctly on the screen. I have successfully installed it on a Mac running Mojave and Crossover V20.04 in a 64bit Windows 7 bottle. I have yet to confirm that AS ...

The inclusion of the Nova PDF driver is now unnecessary as Windows 10 includes a pdf printer driver. It also prevents users installing FH v7 in PlayOnMac.

It would therefore be beneficial to both Windows and Mac users to make the option of this driver optional.

I will try Ancestry and FMP in the next few days and report back.

Mike Given what you said I deleted the existing project and created a new one. This time the project imported and displayed the surnames correctly between slashes. Your plugin also runs and works fine :D Screenshot 2021-03-14 at 18.57.27.png Thanks this plugin is an excellent addition to the FH tool...

Mike the media has not been imported into FH that is the issue.

The gedcom spec says that the Record ID can be constructed of any characters up to 22 characters long. I have come across some really weird ones with people sending me examples for testing against my Wordpress plugin.

Mike I didn't do anything I just used the standard Gedcom import option to pull this gedcom into a new project where I could look at everything before combining the two projects. The gedcom snippet I provided was from the gedcom I was sent not from the FH one I will check that and attach it. This is...

Yes website unknown. No Result Set produced.

@Mike

I just tried your plugin. Unfortunately it doesn't work on the file that caused me to raise this issue in the first place it will not go to an open website url to grab the images.

Irene

No problem, it is what we are here for, to help each other. I am glad you are working reliably again.

Irene I don't use iCloud to backup my files. I do it two ways. I rely on Timemachine on a day to day basis. On a Friday I have an auto copy to an external hard drive and to my NAS drive using FreeFileSync. The FH folders on my NAS drive are synced with my Google Drive (far cheaper than iCloud for ex...

I think I may have a solution. Irene Remove the Morrison project from your iCloud sync. Looking through the documentation it appears that somehow this file is being saved to iCloud and deleted from local storage. The next time access is requested it has to be downloaded from iCloud. That may well be...

Looking at the old thread this could be the issue
This indicates that the file/folder is 'in the cloud' and needs downloading.

I would like to see a current screenshot of the appropriate folder in the Mac Finder not in the Crossover file manager.
