Family Historian User Group

The Military Historian Custom Tab successfully opened by making sure that I downloaded by 'Open with Family Historian' into FHUG Downloads. Also I have found and used the predefined 'Military Fact Sets' OK, thank you. The other questions is which is the best to use of the two methods and are there a...

Thank you Adrian and Helen for your sound advise on this new area for me on FH7 . At the moment I have only 1 individual and no need for queries. It is important for me to think before I enter in any data and then how I get data out? I like Adrian's suggestions using a 'Closer Narrative Structure' t...

Yes I will wait to see if there are any more ideas from experienced users, thank you. I would like to do justice using all the valuable war records of my uncle

Interesting narrative on your website. Certainly one possible solution to think about. The Army Records in Glasgow sent me 16 A3 sheets of 'detailed' Military History Records of my uncle. He served in the 1st Kings Dragoons as a Cavalry man in India because of his love for horses. At the outbreak of...

I have just received all my uncle's Army Service Records from 1923 - 1945 from Army Personnel Centre in Glasgow. Can you please advise :- - best method of recording Individual Military History Facts Sets on FH7? - best way of Individual Summary & Family Summary Narrative Reporting of military servic...

Just tryed your creation of a Just Media Report . I agree with you this is not as workable option at the moment for my requirements. So will use your other suggestion for the time being using Blank Pages (placeholder) and save book as a Word Processor Document (RTF) option ,thank you.

Just opened your comprehensive useful explanation of how to use Media Report to include images in narratives,thank you. I will try out your suggestion in the next few days and let you know how I get on and compare it with the other method already tried.

Just tryed your second suggestion using Blank Pages (placeholder) and started to successfully insert .jpg images of Project Families gravestones externally using the Save Book As >Word Processor Document (RTF) option, thank you. I can include text relating to the context of the images (I was not sur...

Thank you .I should have realized that I chose the wrong option when I started using it.

I will try your alternative suggestions in the next few days and give you my feedback

At the moment I have started to successfully add a 'Free Text Chapter to a Book' in Publish using the FH7 new word processing function on family grave sites. At the moment I can not find how to add one of my own .jpeg images of the family grave located in Media of the Family Project into the newly c...

Thank you everybody for your interesting ideas for adding secondary sources social history narratives to narrative reports.
I will explore these suggestions to add extra context to my FH7 narratives.

Thank you for the extra information on scanning images for FH

There were 2 images in Media of the same certificate. Deleting one of them made no difference still appearing as a Portrait image in report. Therefore I deleted both images originally 'scanned'. Then I have just used my Canon camera to take the same image of the same certificate and this time after ...

Just thought of another extra difference point is that I used 600 dots per inch during scanning rather than 300 dots per inch default. Again might this be linked to my recent query?

Sorry forgot to also mention that none of the small icon images of the BMD & Census appeared in the AS main page?
Is this linked to my recent previous posting?

One extra query following on using AS to input my extra BMD certificates & Census sources and citations into original Descendants Narrative Report. The orientation of the BMD certificates & Census images at the end of the report in 'Sources' section for some reason are all in the 'Portrait' format a...

Pleased to report that I have taken on board your very helpful suggestions and this morning managed to successfully enter Scotland 1841 Census source record linked to individual fact in project data using AS v.7 and FH v.7 . - the new media image of the census appeared in Sources page in original De...

Today I have started to try to use Method 3 (The Source Button) to add 15 new extra sources and citations to an original Descendants Narrative Report created using FH 6.2. I have recently updated to FH v.7.2 / AS v.7.03 and added 17 A/S Essential Templates I originally created the original report us...

I have recovered my missing hidden text, 'more by luck than judgement'. (First of all your extra suggestions did not seem to work and page 5 did not appear) What I tried next that worked was as follows :- - I loaded a next Chapter 2 'Descendant Narrative Report' and the extra missing text in Chapter...

Thank you for your prompt replies. 1st Suggestion - I have double checked again using your suggested step by step procedure but alas to no avail. - yes I am using the View Book Button. - after returning to clicking the OK button bottom right I can see the extra text that I wrote in the Edit Book win...

Today I have experienced another strange behaviour whilst publishing /re editing to a previous 'Background to a Book' using FH v.7 as follows:- - using Edit word processing I had no problem with typing in and saving page 1 of the Background - I then could read page 1 OK - then I started typing in ab...

Thank you for your answers to this question. I was going to ask the same question on alignment

These won't be prepared citations -- there is only ever one of those, stored in the Header record as described above. It sounds as if you are referring to unwanted Sources? In which case you can delete the in the Source Record List (having checked first using View Record Links that there aren't act...

How do I remove 2 out 3 unwanted birth prepared citations? I have tryed the clear prepared citation but the reference to the 2 unwanted cites are not deleted. One reason that I want to remove the 2 redundants cites is that all appear in my Reports End Notes BIBLIOGRAPHY and I want to tidy up for mor...

Mike Apologies you are correct issues in Narrative Report were more to do with FH V7 and not AS 1. SOURCES - Text from Source Your first solution options worked. Initially I clicked on 'Text from Source' which fully expanded the total content of source and then CLICKED IT BACK OFF which made all the...
