And yet we are all happily typing into FH7 which is having bug fixes constantly applied. I use FH7 and Windows 11 and have not came across any bugs with Windows 11 (So far) although 2 clicks to get to All Apps is a bit bonkers. I think that we have to accept that all software has bugs in it and if w...

Hi Dave/Victor, https://www.mackiev.com/offers/ftm2019/upgrade_promo.html?edition=uk This is the link to the upgrade. It is a 3 day offer so and I got the email on the 30th Nov, so I presume it will run out tomorrow. There was also a whole load of info in the email and it had this bullet pointed:- "...

Not for me Mark, I just know a few peeps use more than one genealogy software and it’s a good deal if you use FTM

Not sure if this is for everyone who has been a FTM user or just some, but I recieved an email from MacKiev offering me an upgrade to to FTM 2019 including a years subscription to TreeVault for £29.95. I had free upgrade FTM 2014.1 and never made a purchase from MacKiev so not just an upgrade for cu...

Mike Exporting GEDCOM is almost exactly what I want. Using my fathers as example I added query Descendants and then query Immeadiate Family that put everyone in except my daughters partner (Father of their children) and my dads step daughter, but it does add my brothers adopted son. What I really wa...

Hi All, Is there an easy way to split a part of my tree to send to a relative. I could do this with my old FTM very easily, but can't for the life of me find an easy way to do it with FH7. In FTM I would do an export, select (say) my father and then click descendants and FTM would then add my father...

Silly question maybe, but have you shut down your PC and restarted it. You know computers, they sometimes need a restart for some changes to take place even when they shouldn't.

Until 1857 it needed an Act of Parliament for a couple to divorce!

And now it only takes one Act of Stupidity and a couple of weeks

Mark I fully understand the consept of what DEA's do, my gripe has always been through out this post that they are not all there. It is pointless bringing in a system that is there to, in the words of CP- The purpose of these tools is to make data entry significantly quicker and easier by automating...

Helen You seem to think I am having a go at the great work you have been doing, I am not, I appreciate everything you and others are doing. I'm going to assume you didn't try the plugins I posted here Some new Data Entry Assistant plugins for testing (V7) (18293) for testing? Yes I have and prefer t...

Good summary, William. You have no intention of writing your own plugins, either for your own use or to help others, and you are annoyed that nobody can be bothered to write the one you want now. YES, I have no intention of writing a plugin for myself or anyone elses use. I am not annoyed that nobo...

I think this will just go round in circles, but when I am looking for a plugin I go to Tools then Plugin and either select a plugin I use or search the plugin store to hopefully find something that will help me, if I find what I want I download and use it (No intentions of writing my own). I don't e...

What I meant Helen was when you click on something you expect there to be an option to use it. When I selected Create Source from Template and then in the CR Certificate option you get the option to add a divorce, yet as you have said there is no Divorce DEA. If I was expecting to create my own DEA ...

Helen I was only asking because there was an option and I thought I was missing something when I was trying to use it. I take it that there are not DEA's set up for all things that options have been set up for. Maybe not worded well but I am sure you know what I mean (I hope). I had noticed before t...

I have the fact in, it's adding a citation via the DEA that's the problem

Evening, I have tried a few different searches and can't find any help for my problem. I tried to add a divorce using the DEA, but once I enter initial information and click Data Entry Assistant there doesn't seem to be anywhere to go. There is no Record Divorce Data (UK) option, am I missing someth...

Mike T's A&D chart solution works for me. I had just thought there would have been a way to have a pedigree chart with the children as the root and I was missing a simple way to do it.

Is there a way to add two brothers as the root people on a Pedigree Chart? I ask as my Grandsons are twins and I was trying to find a way of printing a pedigree chart that had both of them on it.

Helen

Thanks for that. I really couldn't think of a reason to search for time of birth, I really only put it in my question in case I thought of some reason at a later date .

Morning all, I'm not sure if I asked this before but Is there a best way of showing the time of birth? I have started redoing my tree using templates and I realised that over the years the way the time of birth (Scottish certificates) has changed 10h 10m p.m.. , 10:10 pm and 22:10 and it got me wond...

My point exactly Sleepingwolf, if you have the point on FH maps, as you said 2 clicks to Bing maps and you have the English spelling you can then pick the exact spot you want, right click on it and get the coordinates (even a handy link to copy it, so that you can paste that exact spot back into FH).

This may be a silly question but what is the point of this question? Surely you can use the might of the Googly folks or the Softers to convert to English and pick up you Lat/Long there as well, kind of two clicks away.

BTW: If needed, a 'hotkey' would need to be more than a single letter to avoid misinterpretation. It would need to involve another key such a Ctrl, Shft, Alt, or Windows key. That would detract from making it easier than right-click of the mouse. What like Ctrl c to copy. I would never right click ...

Or are Scottish certificates different from England and Wales? Scottish certificates are different, and include time of birth, I believe. Yes Scottish Birth Certificates do have the time of birth on them, I didn't know that wasn't the case in England as the only birth cert from England I had seen w...

Hi All, Quick question, what is the best way to put the time of birth into FH. I know it is mainly preference but I was just wondering whether it is best to put it in as it is written on the certificate or put it in in a consistent manner? I ask because my Great Grandmother's birth cert says 12hr No...
