Is there a real idiots guide on how to export a gedcom from FH to Ancestry.

Thanks Mike. That's worked and saved me a lot of bother!

Rather stupidly I have set up and used two Source Records with the same name, i.e. 1841 Census. I have allocated data against each of these and now wish to merge them so that I end up with only one "1841 Census" Source Record to allocate future data against. Is it possible to do this? Thanks for any...

Thanks for helping out with my query. Richard

Thanks. Will take a look at it.

Thanks Bill.

Thanks David. Sounds just the sync tool I need.

Thank you to everyone who has helped with my query. This has given me some good options to explore and I will come back once chosen. Thanks again.

Thank you so much Mike for your quick reply to my query. I will take a look at the areas you suggest before progressing further. Is there a recommended cloud storage that works well with FH - I have a lot of my research files on Google Drive but am reluctant to use that for FH because of my past pro...

I now have two laptops that I would like to automatically synchronise with the latest added records. I used Google Drive in the past but had a lot of problems so stopped using it. Can anyone recommend where and how I can hold my FH data so that I can access it on either laptop. Thanks.

Thanks Mike.

It seems from all the recent comments that something adverse is happening with the 6.2.5 version of the program over the past couple of weeks. Maybe this should be investigated by the technical team as several people are experiencing problems with the program crashing.

Thanks Barbara - I am pausing it now and all seems fine (so far!!)

Best regards Richard

Have had the same error message many times apart from my latest program crashing with Google Drive. Very frustrating especially when a lot of data has been added before the crash.

Thanks Mike --- will try that.

Re two files.... this is because I only managed to take the screen shots in the 2017 file before it crashed completely. I had to re-open as 2018 and then when that crashed again, I took the other screen shot. Bit confusing, but the same problem.

You may have seen my topic "How to recover etc" posted yesterday following a program crashing problem. The crash has happened three times this evening whilst adding notes to my file and saving. Error messages attached. Note in image 3 that the file "last updated" date has automatically become 01/01/...

Hi Mike The only option that would work for me was the Knowledge Base Backup & Restore option. Sadly the exact problem has just happened again whilst entering data. Very frustrating. I hope to be able to catch the initial error message if and when it happens again, as clearly there is an underlying ...

Thanks Mike. Successfully restored.

Whilst entering data into one of my family files, the program came up with an error message and had apparently crashed. When I tried to log back into the file, another error message came up. I then tried to go into backed-up files from the previous days but the same error message comes up, basically...

Is it possible to produce a report that shows all the people in the individual record list plus their birth and death dates. Have tried to do this in a number of ways without success!!

I have tried to send a Family Historian project file to a relative in New Zealand but he cannot open it. See comment below. "the file comes through as a Family Historian Project file (fh_proj), but even then I can't import or open it even with the Family Historian software.". How do I convert this t...

Can anyone help me to find a way to add a title to my charts. Having produced the chart from FH6.04, is it possible to add a title before saving and printing the chart.

In an All Relatives diagram, some relatives do not appear in the same line as their brothers/sisters, but appear slightly below. I'm not sure if this is to save space in the display, but I would like these to stretch out across the diagram so that they stay in line in the same generation bands. How ...

Jane - thanks for reply. No blank marriages recorded when checking the 'All' tab. Richard
