Family Historian User Group

anyone know where I can get a copy of the book HISTORY OF THE MACKENZIES by Alexander MacKenzie. Or the CD version.
Our central library has Library use only copies, but it is a 64km each way trip to do this.

thanks for all that, well worth considering.

further to this, I followed the Direct G in that family tree, and Direct G8 is back to 1735
while Direct G3 is 1919 - 1979

So G has be Grandparent or Great Grandparent X3 or X8 as the case maybe.
anything Newer than Direct G3 appears as Private.

[*]G4 - Wife (of y) - note no mention of "Direct" [*]G3 - One Child (of y)- note no mention of "Direct" [/list] [/list] Do these two entries "align" - are the G4's in both entries in the same generation? Where you have one sibling of many or one child of many tagged - are their "lines of descent" i...

I am not sure, I do suspect it is one users tags, so maybe just worth ignoring, There's no real pattern. On one entry, Both Parents have a Direct G4 tag and only one of the 4 siblings has a Direct G3 tag, none the children appears to carry tags. The other entry both parents carry Direct G5 tags, the...

Just a quick one this time, While searching on Myheritage .com site I came across some family connections and some them have the following notation in front the names, either Direct G5, DIRECT G4 or DIRECT G3 Are these likely to be important to my research or are they just likely to be some sort TAG...

Thank you, That gives me something solid to build on.
Onward and upward

Have hit a snag in my tree, Family name is ABLIT, some have it as ABLITT English from COTTENHAM, CAMBRIDGE ENGLAND. Parent; John ABLIT and Susan Harlock married 29 OCT 1723 I think Susan died in 1733, was there a Second wife Susan or Susanna?? The dates of the Children do not workout right if not, I...

yes I am fairly sure I have it all right. Its the strange logon screen I don't get, It looks more like an admin log on screen.
I had no joy posting on facebook, Seems no ones been near that since last year.

yes thanks Don. found that site this morning, and registered. But it does not seem to like me at all.
I tried registering again, and it confirmed my user name and email was already there, Have left a message on their facebook page....

Can any of the users please tell me how they handle Maori Names in FH?
Do you treat them all as surnames, or something else.??

regards Peter

if you could do a plugin it be great, I have multilevel directories that FH is looking for media which doesn,t exist. I know this is because when I first started on this road I was thinking I was a Smart AR as I had all these GEDcom files and all I had do is import them and start from there. I.E che...

ok, I been following this and I am still a bit lost. I have a lot links to media that just doesn't exist anywhere on my computer. Mainly stuff from imported Gedcom files etc which referenced the Media but did not actually come to me with that Media. How can I remove all these dead media links. Just ...

I have a problem with one of my family groups, where one person has 18 children. I know how to unlink/relink but can I BULK unlink all these 18 in one go so I can sort and oput them back in their right groups. Hope you understand this. At the moment the 18 are linked to one father with no mother, ev...

just a question. While sorting in all these UID etc I notice now and again I get brown text in the properties box facts?
When I have a entry of _NONE for one. is this important.

If you want a more comprehensive analysis then try the Show Project Statistics Plugin. It not only calculates a great many statistics but also lists many exceptions including all the Date warnings. Well it seems I have a LOT of tidy up to do. After running that plugin I have 122 pages of errors etc...

I have disagree with you, FH is magic, you just been around it to long to see

No seriously thanks for the info. I have such a lot to learn and remember.

Hi all, Trust all are well and safe. I have a bit of a odd one, I know I have or had a date error in one my entries and I intended going back and sorting it later. I had a child that was born before the Mother, and like a twit I never recorded where this error was for later. Now the silly part, does...

Hi all, when I started doing my FH research I decided I would have 2 or 3 projects with different name groups. The main project is the Master and holds the bulk my Tree etc. The others have people in that are Not necessarily related but I intended to get back to them. So they are UNRELATED INDIVIDUA...

How does one find the date/year of a marriage??
I have parties names and Parents initials
I am assuming its between say 1938 and 1944 in Fielding New Zealand. NZ BDM was no help.

all parties are passed now, so no harm in posting names, I hope.
marriage - Joyce Harford to Eric William Johnson.

yes, well its actually fairly hard to join a Library in another area, mainly cause its the Rates payers pay for it all.
I have a couple of ideas how to get around this and will try.

Thanks to Malchal and davidf for the suggestions. I spent a fair part of yesterday in Papers past amd will continue to do so. As for Libraries etc, I have recorded these ideas and will investigate when and if the lockdown ends in New Zealand. At the moment all libraries etc are closed. Kindest regar...

Unfortunately I am not in a position financing to do a DNA test. And being in lockdown would make it hard. I assure you,if I could I would. Maybe a collective wish
might see a lotto win saturday.don,t need all it

Mike how does one get the immigration records? I am carefully printing all the info and when things get back normal I can apply for stuff. As for remembering aunts, Every adult we met was aunt or uncle. Just the way we got raised. I like to think this is the missing link, and I shall treat it as suc...

Sorry Mike you have totally lost me. I got the Divorce info from the court for my mother Maureen and her first husband. Are you saying you have seen and followed up that passenger list in the NZ Voters Lists and obtained Death Certificates for your father and Prudence Hill? I must missed that, and w...
