Hi Mike Sorry for the delay but I wanted to look at one of my old backup files, but that didn't work as it seems that Fact Types are stored in the Family Historian program rather in the project files, which I'd presumed. When I said that I'd updated the fact, I should have said that I edited the fac...

Good morning, Mike I spent a good amount of time yesterday analysing the members of my trees that are suffering the same problem in Ancestry and have come to the conclusion that some self created facts are probably the cause. In the early days of Family Historian's successive updates, I think, made ...

Please could you also cast your eye over my settings in my Gedcom creation routines and let me know if they are optimised. I've tried to follow the help routines you mentioned previously, but am conscious that I may have missed something still.
Thank you

I will attach the screenshots you requested.

Thanks again

I want to split my tree so that I can create Ancestry trees specific to individual family members as my main project has nearly 3,500 members. I started by flagg...

Sorry to return to this old chestnut! I've created a new gedcom file by using a query to separate off the people I want in it, then used the export plugin on this gedcom file to create a version that Ancestry should like. Unfortunately when I look at the imported file in Ancestry trees, several indi...

Thanks Mike.
I knew that I'd done this before but could not remember how.

John

Please could someone advise me on how to add a new Source Type
Many thanks
