Re: Divorced 1886
I too have a divorce in my family tree, circa 1888/89. Quite sad really as the three daughters ended up in an orphanage. I too wondered about the cost and would be interested in any replies you might get.

Re: One Name Studies
Just wanted to let you all know I have made a start by importing a GEDCOM of the surname required, plus spouses, etc into a new FH project, thankfully not as huge as Roger's and using his Research Recommendations as a guide have been deleting media and sources that are no longer required. I am on my...

Many thanks, Mike. Have printed off Roger's 'Firth' web pages, which look interesting and have a look at the links you have given and go from there.

One Name Studies
Not sure if this is the right place to discuss this but I have recently joined the Guild of One Name Studies and registered a surname. Am wondering if anyone on the forum uses Family Historian to record their study and how easy it is or if another software is used eg. Custodian or Clooz? If Family H...

Re: To Do List - Create Custom Tab
Hi Mike
Apologies for delay in getting back to you. Just opened up FH and lo and behold have a huge text box, etc on the To Do tab!! How weird is that!! Feel such a fraud now as cannot even send a screenshot to prove what was there.
Thanks for getting back to me.

To Do List - Create Custom Tab
I apologise as I see something similar was covered a short while ago but after downloading the 'To Do Fact list' and 'To Do Property Box Tab', for some reason do not have a text box underneath the 'New paragraph for each Task' for completion. All the details in the Customize Property Box window, etc...

Printed Census Media List
I would like to use Ancestral Sources to check all my census. I thought to use the filtered media window using the keyword 'census' , which gives me a list of what I need but is there a way to print the list off? I have looked at media queries in the book but cannot find anything.

Hi I missed the webinar. Don't know if I was doing anything wrong, but after using the link emailed, a summary page came up, then went to a black screen entitled 'Event Consol', and then nothing. I logged in about 5 minutes before. Even did the computer test and got the short video, so all was okay....

Hi Mike Thanks for a quick return. Have recently restarted my PC as had problems installing updated Ancestral Sources.

Export GEDCOM file plugin
Have a problem with the updated Export GEDCOM plugin in that when I hit run, it says 'running', and nothing happens other than a blank window appearing. Have deleted the plugin and re-installed but same problem occurs. Can you help please?

Re: Can online services support FH research?
I'm a newbie to FH and find the Find My Past hints excellent and easy to download and save to relevant folders. I think it is a case of researching what records each of the websites have to offer. Most of them do 'pay as you go' if you find a record you might not have, or even take out a months subs...

MobileFamilyTree7
Thank you for the various posts regarding exporting to mobile trees previously. I have been reading up on MobileFamilyTree7 and to export seems straightforward but how well does it import back to Family Historian? Is there any missing evidence? Are all links to media kept?
