I have a flag for 'childless', although I only use it for 'died without issue', so this cannot change. It is handy for diagrams, as I use it to generate a stop sign icon, which clearly marks dead end lines on descendant charts, distinguishing them from unresearched ends. You could use a flag for 'as...

You could try a workaround by creating custom flags for whatever ranges you choose, then setting them using the age at death query. You can then set diagram colours based on which flags are set

Could you create a new child of the twins' parents with the name A and B Smith, and produce a pedigree chart for it?

I can no longer see the record IDs in brackets after the names in the Property Box header (FH6 Windows 10). I am sure they used to be there, and the knowledge centre says that is the default, but with no help in changing it. Any suggestions please?

That is brilliant, Mike. Just what I need. Thank you very much for this and all the other help you give to members of this forum

Is there any way to add a column to a custom All Facts query that lists an attribute or a flag of the fact owner? I have searched the knowledge base without success. Thanks in advance

There are several different questions here. Tracing property ownership is quite complex. If the ownership is copyhold, then all transfers will have been recorded in the Court Roll of the relevant manor. If they still exist they will probably be at the local county record office. I once traced the ow...

Thanks both. I hadn't thought of the GEDCOM complication so I will abandon the plan and use Jane's suggestion instead. What a great forum.

I have all my census data recorded in a fact type called 'census'. I would like to reclassify them into a number of different facts called 'census 1841' &c. Try as I might I cannot see a way to do this other than individually, which would be a massive task. Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Hi Mike, I have lots of dates more than 11 characters, mostly of the form {c. Dec 14, 1947}. Perhaps this is the problem, as when I expand the date column to accommodate them. it will not save but reverts to 11 characters. I am perplexed

Pleas can anyone tell me if there is a way to permanently increase the size of this column for all Individuals? I appreciate you can click and drag the separator, but that seems to get saved only for the current Individual, not universally. I can't find anything abut it in the Knowledge Base, so any...

Brilliant. Worked a treat. What a wonderful forum this is for us beginners

Thanks, John

Is it possible to change the name of a custom flag? The names FH has given mine, imported from TMG, are very clunky but I can find no advice anywhere on how to change them. I can see it would be possible to make a new flag, copy all the ticked individuals to it, then delete the old one, but perhaps ...

Thanks Mike. I had tried the Newbies guide, but as you say it was no help on this point. Your suggestion worked perfectly of course.

Thanks again

The user help specifically says that you can create a tab in the Property Box for Flags, but when I create a new tab the flags are not listed among the options for adding. Any suggestions please?

Thanks
