That is possible but would not be a recommended way of working. On export and on reimport you may lose some data you may lose media links etc. If your relative can do the editing within 30 days he/she could use the free 30 day trial of FH to do the editing. Alternatively there are free genealogy pro...

I use the plain csv option for my exports into Excel without issue. I don't use Access any more but I seem to remember that there is an option to import a CSV file into a new database.

What exact problem are you having with your exports?

I am currently updating the new KB pages on running FH on Linux using Wine, Crossover and PlayOnLinux. Can anyone currently running FH using these emulators on Linux please let me know the flavours of Linux and version numbers that you are using? As many replies as possible please so I get a full pi...

I am with Mike and don't bother.

However, it would be easy to create it as a source in its own right and then attach it to the appropriate facts as well as the actual census page transcription.

There are a couple of programmes that I am aware of Gedcom Validator from Chronoplex FTAnalyzer available in the Windows store The first will need you to export your gedcom as a utf-8 version as it won't work with the utf-16 FH standard format. Doing this may fix your issue. The second programme wil...

One way is to do a medium backup. Email her the resulting zip file. All she then needs to do is restore from backup in FH and she will have all your information including images. One thing to be aware of is that you may be in breach of copyright/website T's & C's if you share images of records that ...

Have a look at item #2 on https://www.techrepublic.com/article/ho ... ial-steps/ You may well be able to get shot of it that way.

I think to move away from the default C for program installation is best avoided, especially in your situation, where the C is an SSD, and so generally better for speedy start up of programmes. Sorry I do not agree with this advice with only 110gb drive, if you have a lot of programmes you will soo...

If you do a search on YouTube there are a couple of videos on there.

For example

One way to do this is to create a source for the certificate and then turn on Automatic Source Citations with that new source as the input record and then add it to the Burial and Death facts. Otherwise you can select more than one fact in the facts dropdown list with click and ctrl / shift click on...

I do a surname study and have several hundred unconnected trees in one master FH project. It is easy to add an 'unconnected' individual just go to Add > Unrelated Individual and add the person then build their tree backwards and add to it in the normal way. When you get to the common ancestor you ju...

@Mike

No such luck unfortunately this is the result with 0.7
Whereas v0.8 still works fine.

@Colin ~ Have you tried closing and re-opening FH which might reset things?

Spot on @Mike that has fixed it now reports as E:\

Mike I have in fact set it to E:\ for the projects folder. I have other mapped folders on my Mac HDD for other Windows apps to access. It seems as though it is FH that is reporting the location \\VBOXSVR\Family_Historian_Projects as that is what is set in the Project Window. I have now set it to E:\...

Success

@Mike

My Mac folders are mapped drives so do have a Windows drive letter assigned. It seems as though your plugin seems to be ignoring the mapped letter and actually looking at share folder structure. Could you swap it to look at drive letters?

@Mike

Still issues with my VM install.

Mervyn Thanks for that information. I hadn't done any digging into the reasons. Like you for my main research I use a VM, I only use a POM instance on my iMac for quick lookups rather than the time it takes to fire up the VM. I have not gone to Catalina as there are some other 32 bit Mac apps that I...

Mike

No there are no addons with names like either of those in POM.

I have run the latest version of the plugin in POM
And in the VM

Mike I have never had that issue before and regularly update plugins manually just by running the new downloaded version. It is the first time that I have ever had this. So ma be JOOTT. I have just updated POM without issue by installing the new version over the top of the old one. A different error...

Mike

A couple of interesting things. The new one failed to install on the VM and overwrite the old version came up with unable to install. I manually deleted the old one and installed the new one fine. Still an issue though.

Mike

As expected no luck with PlayOnMac.
And it doesn't like mapped drives in a VM
VM is Windows 10 Pro 64bit running as admin

I attach as 11 separate images to one source. However, with a good image editing programme they could be combined into one image. Load the first one and then increase the canvas size to 11 times its current width or height whichever you prefer and then drop each of the other images into it. The save...

William There is no right or wrong way to do this like all things genealogical it is what works best for you. If you think about it what you are proposing is multiple trees. Your childrens tree would start with them and have both you and your wife in it but would it include their siblings? Whereas y...

Mike

Yes the new version is fine on both.
