Not sure if this helps but I have attached a screenshot of one of the Source records. All my census records are either Ancestry or Find my Past, and set up identically to this screen shot.

Hi I am new to AS and have created my source data from my existing templates in an earlier version of Family Historian, I am now using FH 7 and would like to convert the Census Sources using AS Census Convert, I have imported the FM tree and all the data has migrated across to AS. I can see the data...

I am trying to use Ancestral Sources to convert my census data. Loaded the file from Family Historian 7. All appears ok. Watch your video on setting up Census Convert but cannot see any source records listed if I tick rich text, generic sources, type in census. Where am I going wrong?

I have an issue where I have come across one member of my family who lived with a partner and had children. Then I find out she had a husband earlier on and had children. The problem is Family Historian 7 is showing the second partner first and is not in the correct order in the property box. How ca...

I find the very helpful for members which do not appear on the tree. However, if I want to record the vicar for example who officiated at marriage for one member of the family then did a funeral for example for another member I have to create another name only record. There seem no way of linking hi...

I am trying to find a way to mark a fact in some way to denote I have verified the data and it is correct. ie a green tick or a star, same for individuals so I know what has been done so I can see clearly where I am up to. I cannot seem to find a topic that covers this problem. Any ideas?

I have set up a fact type to record Trade Directory Information However in the list of fields I can add I cannot seem to add a Occupation field. This would be very useful as Trade Directories ie Whites have both address and occupation. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Many Thanks

What would be very useful is a flagging of individual facts in the facts window. I am currently going through checking the facts for each member of my family tree. The problem is I have to open each fact up to see if I have amended it or not. It would be better if I could flag the facts that are cor...

I seem to have created an unknown spouse which shows up as a second marriage on the family tree view (see Attachment) I want to know how to delete this but cannot find a solution. Help please.

My Mother was born illegitimate, her birth mother went on to marry another male a few years later. The problem I have Family Historian shows the later married male to be my mother's father, which is not the case. How do you alter relationships on Family Historian to so this fact?

Is there any way of highlighting a fact or facts in the facts screen to indicate you are carrying out work in progress. Sometimes I come across a fact and source I need to do some more research on and it would be very useful to flag it in some way.

got it thanks

Ihave followed youe instrutions but for the life of me I cannot see a any buttons on the right hand side let aloan Options button. See attachment below. It is a pity such a good program is let down by poor basic navigation screen shots. Yes page 194 does show the screen but what it doea not show is ...

I am trying to find the report options window. Family Historian geting the most book tells you how to set thing up BUT NOT where the button is to find it. Is there anywhere I can find where all these fuctions are.

That's great I have managed to set that up just fine, thankyou.

Is there any way to add a research note to a person, ie I need to make a note that a child listed as Scholar on the census may have attended a local school for which there could be records at the local record office. Then I can print off any research items across the database when I next visit the r...

Is it possible to put a table into the notes field of facts?

Can some one tell me where the tutorial files are for v6?

Thanks for your help I have done as you stated and the problem still exists. Checked duplicates for james Holdcroft and Eliza Derry none to be found. Cannot see duplicate spouse or children added these two id's

I seem to have two records for the same people in the focus window. No matter what I do I cannot ger rid of the duplicte as they both have the same id. See screen shot. Also there are duplicate people on the diagram yet not records. How do you merge these records. The help is aweful on Family Histor...

I have just changed over to Family Historian 6.0.4 and inputted all my data from via a gedcom from Roots Magic 6. Problem is a lot of the media links are broken and I can only relink then one at a time. Surely there must be a better way. On Roots magic in can repair broken links on mass by searching...

I have tried to export from Roots Magic 7 to Family Historian 6. It appears FH 6 does not recogise the Roots magic File .rmgs. So I tried Gedcom, great but... most of my links to documents are now missing. I can only add them one at a time. What am I doing Wrong...
