I can give you some answers. First, PAGE is the GEDCOM tag for 'Where within Source' and is probably the correct place for volume and page numbers of GRO indexes etc. the SOUR.DATA.TEXT field is the 'Text from Source'. As far as I know, and I would be happy to be wrong, it is not possible to remove ...

Mike, visit http://maps.familysearch.org, search for Sudbury, click Sudbury Civil Registration District. The result is I think self explanatory, spanning the counties of Suffolk and Essex. Note, the title says "England & Wales Jurisdictions 1851". This fantastic facility provided free by FamilySear...

I'm no expert on this but it sounds as if you have intermarriages. Run the Tools>How Related . I have done this for my grandparents and get Samuel is husband of Florence Samuel is 2nd cousin once removed of Florence I would guess this makes separating their trees impossible as they have a common anc...

An interesting thread and it has made me look much more carefully at the few certificates that I have. The comment that the Child's surname is not stated on the certificate is true unless you have Short Form Certificate: I have an original short form certificate (1916) for my mother (available for 3...

In case you have not come across it there are Australian Newspapers at http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/ with free access.

...The cost now is £9.25 each although the GRO conducted a trial late last year when electronic PDF copies were supplied at £6.00 each.... I obtained one of these pdf copies simply to find out what they were. They are not image copies of the actual Certified Copy but are in fact clipped copies of t...

Strangely enough, just under one year ago this topic was mentioned.

On that particular query you get the opportunity to put in the list name when you run the query. On a more general point you cannot edit standard queries. For example if you try to add a column you will get an error message: This ia standard query and not editable, but you can make a copy of it as a...

<SNIP> how does one set about renaming them? Renaming projects should be done from within FH. FH will only rename projects when there are no currently open projects. So the first step is to Close the current project File>Close Project When you do that Project Window will open with a list of all the...

One of the features of FH and I suspect most current genealogy software is that name changes over time are not recognized as such. AKA names entered in the additional names dialog can be filtered on: so to take your example; as long as your preferred version (the accented one?) is included as an alt...

An individual can belong to several spouse families both as sole parent and with a spouse. A family record links at most two individuals as spouses together with any children. For example, an individual listed as a sole parent would generally indicate a child with only one known parent, that individ...

Adding a Flag to the result set of a query: Select any one and then type Ctrl+A this selects them all. Go to Edit>Record Flags and choose the flag you wish to apply to all the records or create a new flag to apply. Row Records are the individual records in the rows of the result set. To get Columns ...

Hi Mike I see the problem but not the solution. My media is un-dated, mainly because I don;t have the dates. I put in a some random dates and got the behaviour you mentioned. Removing just one of the dates put that one to the end of the list. It strikes me that this ordering is built-in: Order by da...

Just to be sure we are dealing with the same media links. I am referring to media in the media tab of the property box, that is, they are directly linked to the individual. As an experiment I ran FH and Notepad++ simultaneously on the project GEDCOM. I have three photographs attached to one individu...

The order they appear in a Media tab of a Property Box is determined by their order in the Media tab of Records Window . Usually they are in alphabetical Title order, but if you sort on the Date column, then that will display them in that order in the Media tab of any Property Box , and is remember...

In FH I search for a person by typing in the first letter of one of their names. That seems to act as a filter and the filter is still in place when I return to make the next search. In TMG typing in the first letters of a name did not register as a filter. It merely went to the desired position in...

I need someone who uses FH to explain please how to get a report finding the people who fulfill the conditions that I gave in my original post. I think a problem here is that there are so many ways of applying conditions that it gets confusing. Let's address the simple Nationality issue first. Open...

Maintaining record numbers does require some effort. Two programs I have used: when importing a GEDCOM to Legacy Family Tree there is an option to keep existing record numbers (if possible - presumably referring to the problem of importing into an existing tree) There is another useful option to not...

With regard to the last question about losing customisations. When in the Customize Property Box dialog there is a button labelled More Tab Tasks. Selecting this gives you the option to Import or Export Tabs. So having customized you can save your settings. Then, if you wish, revert back to the orig...

If you right-click in a text field one of the options is Right to Left Reading order, there are other options which might be relevant.

one solution is to use witness - parent, for example - roles at the births of the children and then change the listing in the Fact tab. This does mean that these timeline facts will show all the time. For example, with a little tweak you can get this in the Fact column Parent of <child name> born in...

Hi Colin

Welcome to FHUG

Beat me to it Mike.

There are some missing (closing) % signs in Mike's expression

=NumberIf( Exists(%INDI.FAMS[3]%), 3, NumberIf( Exists(%INDI.FAMS[2]%), 2, NumberIf( Exists(%INDI.FAMS[1]%), 1, 0 ) ) )

[EDIT by Mike Tate: Yes, sorry, I have corrected them in original posting.]

Mikes suggestion, which records up to three spouse families, will include single person spouse families. That is, spouse familes with an unknown (to your file) partner. If you want to only count those families (i.e. amongst the first three) with a known partner then the following variation should do...

Thanks Mike

Why didn't you make this post immediately? My objectives were fairly clearly stated in the opening post and it would have saved a lot of effort. However, on the plus side, since this is the Plugin Discussions forum I have found it illuminating.
