Regardless of your FH version you should be running AS7.

Best wishes

Nick

Thanks Nick!

Lizzie

Thank you, Helen.

I'm currently running AS 5.3 and FH6. I've just been given FH7 for my birthday and want to upgrade both AS and FH to the latest versions. Which of the two should I upgrade first or doesn't it matter?

Lizzie

Thanks Mike, that would make sense.

I've been experimenting with various report options, in particular with respect to how and where photos are displayed, and I've noticed something a bit strange. The FH help page for the Report Options Dialog: Pictures Tab (Individual) refers to the following two fields: "Include Pictures of Individu...

Thank you Mike, much appreciated.

I have a question about witnessed facts and timeline facts as they appear in the individual property box. Apologies if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find the answer when I searched the forums. I have entered a marriage into FH (using AS) where the bride's mother was a witness bu...

I am taking a completely different approach to identify in Family Historian (1) which people have taken a DNA test (2) marking the paths of proven DNA matches back to the common ancestors. (1) I have a flag "DNA" which in diagrams switches on a DNA helix logo beneath the boxes of people that have t...

Great, thanks Mike.

Lizzie

Thanks Mike, that's very helpful. I hadn't realised that AS might allow for extra sources to be added to existing facts. Do you happen to know where I can find the instructions for doing this?

Lizzie

Thank you Helen, that approach makes a lot of sense.

My ancestor died within the parish of St Mary's Portsea, Hampshire. I found her burial record in the collection of "Hampshire, Portsmouth burials" on the FMP website and used AS to enter the details including an image from the burial register of St Mary's. I then found another burial record for the ...

Many thanks to both Lorna and Mike for such excellent and clear instructions!

I would like to send a pdf All Relatives Diagram to a distant cousin of my husband's. but without revealing any information about living relatives, other than the name of my husband who will be the root person. What I would really like is to be able to display text boxes for these people with someth...

Hi Mike Thank you so much for your prompt reply which was very helpful. It's nice to know that I'm on the right track, at least to begin with! I may well need to come back to you in due course if I get stuck or need more detailed help. In any case, I will let you know how I get with using the plugin...

I have just received my DNA results from FTDNA and would like to upload my FH Gedcom to their website. MY FH tree comprises both my line and that of my husband, but I only want to upload my part of the tree going back about five or six generations. I have read Knowledge Base<Exporting a Family Tree ...

Hi Mike

I have contacted Calico Pie as you suggested and will let you know what they say.

Thank you again for all your efforts on my behalf!

Lizzie

Hi Mike Thank you for these suggestions. I think that I'm going to just ignore the Exception Report for now and move on. I was given v6 as a birthday present and I'm really looking forward to exploring all the new features. The individuals whose ID numbers were mentioned in the report are all releva...

The date-time stamp of the Backup file is "2016-04-15 2148". I only have one project, so I am confident that the backup was taken on the same project that reported the exceptions. Obviously I realise that the backup is a few months old now, but I have made only a very few changes to my project since...

This is very strange. I've tried Edit>Find>Search For @@ and also @I3933@ (and others) but it simply says "no matching items found". When I try to view the Exception Report again in my Master project via Window>Log Files, it says "No log files found". Fortunately I printed off a copy of the report w...

Mike

Should I continue to do all this on my temporary project rather than the "real" one?

Lizzie

Hi Mike Thank you again. Since my last post, there have been further developments....... I used File>Backup/Restore>Restore Backup to create a temporary project from the most recent .zip file in my backup folder, then in the new temporary project I downloaded the UDF list plugin. When I ran the plug...

Thank you again, Mike. I'll give it a go right now.

Once I've run the UDF plugin and dealt one way or another with the all the UDF, what should I do with the "temporary" project?

Lizzie

Thanks, Mike. I haven't disabled FH Autosave so will follow your original advice.

At the risk of being a nuisance , would you be able to take me through the process step by step please? I assume I need to save and close my current v6 project first?

Many thanks

Lizzie

Hi Mike Many thanks for replying so quickly and in such detail. Before I do as you suggest, can I just check something with you. Since installing the upgrade download, I haven't actually closed or saved my FH project so would I be able to uninstall the upgrade, use the UDF plugin on my v5 project, a...
