Duh -

Helen,
In your records window for places, how did you get the Part1, Part2 etc to show in separate columns?
I assume you used '<Other..>, but what data reference did you use for the various parts?

3. Click the Select button in the diagram toolbar and use the mouse to draw a box round the entire diagram. This will select all the boxes on display. There is a minor bug in FH, whereby the Select button and others may be off-screen, so not visible. If you widen FH window, then shrink it back to o...

Miketate, don’t forget, that when the gregorian calendar was adopted by Engalnd, it applied to US at the same time, as they were then still an English colony :lol: It was the act of parliament that formally changed our calendar from Julian to Gregorian, that also changed the beginning of the year to...

I review the hints occasionally, (when the numbers have built up) and read all messages, but the bell icon I ignore. To be honest I don’t recall ever seeing a bell notification.

BTW Adrian, could the hint change to red, to distinguish it from FMP, who use green?

Ah-so you already had a subscription! Mine was for a new subscroption

Unless I’m reading their e-mail wrong, I am being offered the premium subscription for £19.99 PER MONTH! It seem it is not an upgrade for £19.99. This explains why some are being charge £19.99 for 2 days, followed by another £19.99 a few days later (i.e. the next month) Paying monthly @£19.99 is £24...

This will happen if you added a tentative relative AND connected them to a family. Once you connect them to someone in your main tree, they join Pool 1, so won’t appear as an ‘orphan’. In the records list of individuals, you can show a column ‘last updated’, which can be sorted on. If you know rough...

One is 64.

Many of us are 64. It isn't a handicap...

If only I was that young again

I have modified my burial fact to inlude field for age, it was just a simple matter of editing the fact

I find that Win11 rather more than previous systems, seems intent on pushing the user towards MS apps rather than third party ones at almost every opportunity. (It seems to be worse than even Samsung on android.) For instance I don't want Edge as my primary browser, but it's an ongoing battle to ke...

Good job then, that I've got a very bright grandson. At my wife's request, he built me a very high spec PC for last Christmas as a very nice surprise present - it absolutely flies. It boots so fast, that I even turn it off completely whenever I take a break for more than 5 minutes. (My old PC took t...

i can’t find the original article I had found, but did find another on Elevenforum, a forum for Windows 11 users. It would seem that this is a common problem, i.e. that windows 11 keeps forgetting associations and setting them back to default! In reply to someone complaining about this, the followin...

I refer you to my earlier post - You will not find a place (village, town or city) called Sudeley - If it ever existed, it doesn't now, except as a parish, East of Cheltenham and South of Winchcombe. Well, it is shown on my FH map as a village (openstreetmaps)! Type Sudeley in location search bar, ...

I use simple generic sources for my census, and enter details in the title , such as Census 1871 - RG10 Piece 3409 Folio 078 Page 07 I don't use schedule numbers, as I want the the above source to work for anyone on that page I use something similar for the filename of the actual image, which in abo...

All this talk of merging place names makes me feel very nervous! Quoting from the FH Knowledge Base - "Genealogical best practice recommends that you document the (place) name as it was recorded in the source that refers to it, i.e. an historical name" . Peter, Best Practice doesn't mean obligatory...

I too had a problem with opening a jpg file in Windows 11, only this morning (not FH related)I then read somewhere that file associations in Windows 11 are not as easy to change as people would like. The article went on to describe how to get round it, but sadly I didn’t take much notice, so can’t g...

I use the same basic approach as Mike Loney suggested... What you have described is not what Mike Loney suggested. When asked, he said he attaches the media directly to the individual. He didn't mention creating a fact at all. His method is a bit unconventional because most users would only attach ...

Adrian,
It was only because I use cogwheel to see where sources were sited, I niavely thought I could do the same with place usage-silly me
I sometimes wonder if CP have provided too many ways of achieving the same thing.

Thanks Mike
I do wonder though, why CP went this way, rather the cogwheel option as supplied for sources? Consistent in their inconsistency

Whilst tidying up my placenames, I found a few that weren’t geocoded, and chose to geocode them manually. In order to make sure I had found correct location for the place, I went to check how and when it was used, which is where I hit a snag. Any geocoded place, one can show the marker on the map, c...

No,
they are only there to give a quick, unclutterd view of the census facts, and as such are read-only.

You need to go to the Facts tab to edit or add new entries

But where do you attach the Media? To the Individual, to a Fact, to a Source?

To the individual - simples

I just scan them and attach them as media -works for me

But for geo-coding you need a name that is standardised to a form that the specific geo-coder can understand (which may be different to modern usage - e.g. previous posts about NYC, NY, USA etc.) Not strictly true, as that only applies to automatic geo-coding. You can geo-code anything, even Donald...
