Hi sorry for any confusion but no I wasn't asking about a free upgrade (did my post mention the word free??), all i want to know is can I skip re-installing FH6 and go straight to purchasing FH7 and then use my backups to open my existing projects? Thanks in anticipation.

I have just bought a new PC and therefore need to re-install FH and the projects that I was researching. As I was previously running FH6 (fully up to date), can I skip the need to re-install and simply download the latest version of the program and then use my latest backups to open the various tree...

I am indebted to you for that!

Further to my previous post, here is a copy of my uncles medal card. I have tried in vain to find his military records despite many searches on Ancestry. Can anyone help??

I have an uncle who was awarded the Order of the British Empire but I am damned if I can find out what it was awarded for! Can anyone help? I have checked the London Gazette for 6 June 1919 and 15 Sept 1920 (as the envelope was date stamped 9 Sep 1920) but these do not appear to hold any reference t...

tatewise. I am indebted to you and after seeing reviewing the UDF list I can see why previous uploads to Ancestry have turned out to be semi-failures!!! I will carry out all these suggested actions & hopefully this attempt will be more successful.

On 9 Feb 2017 tatewise gave this advice:- May I suggest these three simpler but more comprehensive steps: Use File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File to create a Gedcom of all Individuals with all Note, Multimedia, and Repository records excluded. Use the Clean Living People plugin to change the...

Ok Thanks for that. I will contact FMP and see if they have any idea and will post an update if there is any information.

Hallo Does anybody know why the FMP hints are not allowing the option to either accept or reject them? I just wondered if the FMP website was suffering from an overload because of the latest offer that they are running re. free access to Census returns? Also when using the back to hints button I get...

Thank you tatewise for clearing that up.

Does that therefore mean that this Knowledge Base instruction needs to be archived?

Would be glad of some guidance. Am I correct in the assumption that 1939.xml UK 1939 Register Template file should be saved into the \Ancestral Sources\Settings\ folder and should appear there as a file in that folder please? It's just that it isn't in there although as far as I can see all seems to...

Spot on! Thank you very much - I had tried other things, but nothing seemed to work! You certainly are a most wise owl tatewise!

I am a bit baffled! :o I have some how managed to mess something up with one of my families. When I focus on an individual child of that family, the parents are not initially shown above the child in the Focus Window - instead there is a scroll button at the side of the parents box (which are initia...

Thank you tatewise, I am indebted to you again!

I have been thinking about installing the above to my Family Historian. :) However, I am bit confused about which of the downloads I need. I am running Family Historian 6 and from the Knowledge Base on this subject I can see that I need to download the file:- To Do Fact Set FHF file for Version 5 or...

Valkrider Thank you for that and I will certainly consider that option too! Looks like this is a bigger subject than I rather naively thought!!!

Thank you tatewise that is a huge help! The information that I had gleaned about using FH to set up a website made it sound fairly easy, which is why I thought I'd get other views on doing it before plunging in! I will look at all those links before deciding what to do, but what you have posted, giv...

I have been looking into creating a web site for my family tree using FH6 and I just wondered if anyone had any tips or advice regarding this please? :P Are there any instructions/articles out there on the internet that I should read before doing this? I am also concerned about security and privacy ...

Thank you tatewise - I have done all that and will try it out on the Sample Project. Much appreciated!

A big thank you Tatewise and David Newton for your replies. That Is excellent and have installed the Knowledge Base > Fact Set ~ Military History for Property Box Tab Version 2. I had already written a narrative to put in my Grandfathers records and will experiment with how to include this in my fam...

Thank you tatewise for replying. That certainly confirms that I am not alone in finding Military facts a more challenging aspect for family historians! However, I was most interested in this link fhugdownloads:contents:military_history|> Fact Set ~ Military History for Property Box Tab as that seems...

Hallo All and I hope everyone is enjoying this rather dark and dismal day!! This query may already have been raised and if so I apologise in advance! However, the reason for posting is that although I have read the posts I am still very confused! :( First let me explain:- I have (like a lot of Famil...

Thank you to mjashby, LornaCraig, Peter Collier & AnneEast a really big thank you. I am overwhelmed by the response I received! I will follow those all up as I think they will all be a big help!

Thank you to all for those suggestions. I will follow them up. Sorry I didn't give more specific details but here are the facts as far as I know them. The name I am researching is quite a common name in the Birmingham area. The surname is Parker and my research so far has centered around Victor Geor...

HELP! I am desperate for some assistance! :o A relative living in Australia has asked me to try and help trace relatives of her father as unfortunately she knows very little about her uncles and aunts and the families that they would presumably have had. Her father talked very little about his famil...
