Family Historian User Group

I'm running V6.1.4, although this issue was evident in earlier versions. In the Focus Windows, some current ages are displayed and others are not. I have been to Customize View and the Ages box is ticked. For example, in my Focus Window my age, my wife's age and my elder son's age and those of his w...

Thanks Bill

That works well.

The main reason for swapping from my old program to Family Historian is the elegant way it handles not just cousins but any marriage back into the family from a common ancestor. I looked at several other offerings before settling on FH as the most satisfactory way of displaying this situation. David...

The Publish facilities are excellent and offer a wide range of options. One question - is it possible to remove the date which is rather prominent in the top right corner?

Many thanks

Many thanks for your prompt response. You were absolutely right about the ticked options, and selecting Installation Settings works a treat. Before contacting the Forum, I'd looked through the topics in the Forum and did not find any which matched. I'd also tried looking in the "more options for gen...

I am looking at the possibility of having my tree printed in a large size by a commercial printing company. Their preferred input is a pdf file. I have saved my tree (All Ancestors and Descendants - Colourful) but the saved pdf does not show the background colour in the boxes for each generation. Wh...

Calico Pie FH Support have been brilliant, even sending responses late in the evening on holidays. It transpires that it was V4 that caused the problem and NOT the transfer to V6. That would explain why it did not matter how I transferred the GEDCOM the result was always the same. V4 clearly corrupt...

The extra incorrect event also appears in the ALL tab as well as the FACTs tab.

I have tried one further thing. I have deleted V6 and all related files from my laptop. I have then loaded V4 onto my laptop and exported/imported the V4 GEDCOM file across from my desktop, checking that the FACTs in the Property Box were as the original. I then reloaded V6 (full version) on to my l...

Yes, BACKUP ON EXIT but always the GEDCOM option and not the zipped version. Anyway, as you suggested, I have now done a restore backup on V6 using my latest V4 GEDCOM backup file with precisely the same errors. I also copied the V4 GEDCOM backup file and changed the name, and "restored" that to V6....

I always make a backup copy every time I close FH. I copied my latest backup of V4 as a GEDCOM file from my desktop to my laptop and saved it in a folder in my documents library. I then double clicked on it to open V6 with that as the project. I will change the name of the file and try again. Will l...

Here are the 2 screen shots for Anne Nash Dugan

I hope these help to clarify my concerns. Please note that Anne's mother died in childbirth so the date of her death is correct, although she was obviously not age 0

Here are the promised screen shots for Ann Ash Dugan. Can't add 4 attachments so will post another for Anne Nash Dugan

I have double checked my property boxes and the erroneous line does NOT show in record 229 in Vn 4, only in the correct record 1046. It appears in both boxes in Vn 6. I will send you screen shots of both property boxes for each version, as requested, but .... I have searched for screen shots in the ...

Many thanks to all or you for your responses. I had read up on new things in Vn 6 and had already tried several of your suggestions. I have now found what has happened. Vn 6 has taken the burial FACT from Anne Nash Dugan (record ID 1046) and incorrectly inserted it into Ann Ash Dugan (record ID 229)...

Many thanks for the helpful responses to my query about Validate. As a Newbie I had tried to look through all the advice in the Forum before asking the question, but there is too much good stuff to take it all in. I have now successfully checked my dates for consistency as suggested and have found s...

I have just received Vn 6 after running with Vn 4 for some time. Can anyone tell me what Validate actually does please. I have deliberately changed data to give a birth long after a parent's death and long before a parent's birth. Validate does not pick either of these up. My old Family Tree Vn 4 au...
