It would be useful to be able to add fields to this tab. In particular, the Baptism Field, as before 1837 births were not recorded but baptisms were. At the moment, all my births before 1837 are marked c.yyyy unless I found the actual dates in probate records or on gravestones. Thank you

Hi Mike

Thank you for your assistance, I have followed through both sets of directions and my V7 has now added and populated the missing field.

I have just updated to V7 from V6.2 but the field 'Custom ID' that I had added and populated in V6 is no longer showing on individual records and although the field is on the Individuals list it is showing blank! How can I reinstate that field and data from V6.

Thank you

Thanks for your help.

Sorry for the delay in replying to your helpful hints on this topic but I have not used FH for a few months. The problem is now is that I can only use an external web browser although my default browser is Microsoft Edge. I am using version 6.2 of FH. The attached document may explain better! Lookin...

Hi Mike, Thank you so much for your assistance, I've now set external web browser as my default browser. I've now just go to work out how I can split the window and so I can see my individual record at the same time as the hint - as the hints are now appearing in full screen!

Help please. I am also getting the message to switch to Edge when activating FMP hints but my browser is already defaulted to Edge but I' m still getting the message. Is it anything to do where the Family Historian .exe file is situation on MS Explorer? I'm confused! I operate Windows 10. Thanks for...

Thanks again for your help - that worked! Will look at setting up queries when I know what I'm doing!

At this early stage in getting to know FH, I will always use myself as the "root" person, as the reports I am doing are for my own personal use. Thanks again for your help and I will give your advice a try!

Fantastic - thanks - can I print this page by turning it into a report? Thanks again

Hi there Sorry cannot help on this topic but need help! This what I also need to do but for individual reports. Could one of you kindly let me know the change I need to make to the heading text to achieve this? I will then try it on my "guinea pig" site before messing about with the real data! Thank...

Hi there I have searched the FH help page and had a look on this forum but cannot seem to find the answer to the following. I have created and used a repository called "my c:drive". I now realise that this has been incorrectly used against a number of the sources. Is there a way of getting a list of...

Is there a quick way of linking a picture to multiple records? The only way I know is to add link back to the original in my c:drive for every individual. That takes time with census records! Cannot find an answer to this on the forum and so hoping someone can help me. Thanks

Dear Mervyn and everyone else! Yes, I now understand how I went wrong! The comments field is more visible on the profile page and so that is why I started using it! I have now created a 'Test Tree' and put text in both the 'Comment' field and the 'Notes' field. I then downloaded to FH6 (now upgraded...

Hi I am new to this game and so please bear with me! I have exported my Ancestry files via gedcom to FH5. It is very much as expected BUT I do not think that the 'Comments' field has been exported. I have used this field extensively on Ancestry and so really need the data to be somewhere in FH5 - ca...
