Source Templates for a Lumper

I'm a lumper when it comes to census, birth and death certificates or ancestry databases. I want to use the new templates in FH7, but they want to have the person of interest in the source. I tried modifying the template for Vital Records to move the entries I need down to citation section but I kee...

Gedcom Validator shows WWW error in REPO

I ran my FH7 gedcom through a gedcom validator and fixed a bunch of my mistakes. But I have the following warning I can't get rid of and can't find the answer on the web. The message is: Invalid tag structure. Tag 'WWW' is not permitted under tag 'REPO'. Is this a FH thing or am I doing something wr...

After searching for an hour on google, I found out the FH 7 does have this feature built in.

Display citations from Source

The ability to view citations for a given source with the ability to click on the citation and go the the person it is for. Right now you have to use a plugin to bring up the citations, but only gives you a list.

Adding Citation Specific to source template

I'm a lumper and working with the new templates in FH7. My question is how do you create citation specific fields in the template editor? Working with US Census records and the templates available, FH keep wanting to make Splitter type records. Using the generic template it works fine.

On linux, Drag and Drop media to source crashes FH6.2

I run a Manjaro Linux box and so far FH 6.2 runs great except for when I drag a image into the image box. The accept dialog comes up but it is completely messed up and crashes the program after a short time. You are not able to click on anything until the program closes on it's own. Any fixes for th...

Re: Marking media as private

I use your gedcom export which works great. What I was wanting was to add a private check box to add media and have it export using your plugin. I know I'll need to modify TNG to use the flag which should be simple to do.

Marking media as private

I use FH and TNG for my genealogy research and was wondering if there is a way to mark media as private in FH so I can have TNG import it as private also. Right now I have to open each media file in TNG to mark it private. Other than that FH imports great into TNG.

Re: Displaying Marriage ID

I,m Sorry about that, I'm used to Legacy which uses Mrins where FH uses Family ID. On the focus screen, I'm wanting to have the Family ID show up. I did what the previous post but have to slide the properties window to almost half my screen to see the ID Number.

Re: Displaying Marriage ID

Its a really system i us. All children sources go under the parent MRIN until they get married, at which time they get their own MRIN. Then all new sources for that family are then added to them. If they get remarried they get a new MRIN and the sources pertaining to that family go to them. Check ou...

Displaying Marriage ID

Is there a way to display the Marriage record ID number on the main screen instead having to do a search for it? I file Paper copies of my sources in files by Marriage ID and it would save an extra step while entering records.
