Family Historian User Group

I'm all for keeping it simple, I think I'll stick with individual entries. I think I realised it only applied to the parents, but it sounds simpler to avoid the complication.

Thanks

I notice that there is not a Residence attribute for a Family Record.

What are the objections to creating one (with say a Title of Fam Residence)? Or is it better to enter individual attributes for husband and wife?

Thanks - didn't think through the likely outcome if it did.

The help for this states Checks all the media files in the media folder As I do not keep my media in the media folder, does this mean that the plugin does not work for me? I get a report of 0 unlinked records, and yet I know there are some unlinked ones. The sister Plugin Check for Possible Duplicat...

When I run this, get asked whether I want to use Cached records or not. The "Details provided by Plugin" nor the Plugin page in the Store give any guidance about this. I'm wondering if it is affected by media files that have been re-named or re-titled since the last run of the Plugin. In those circu...

Ok Thanks.

That's the suggstion I am after. ....... I do find it useful - if I remember - to put a note against a family saying things like "No other children known" or "GRO Birth Index checked and no others found". Simple note (with its Citation) that will serve as a reminder that there is possibly no more ch...

Thanks for confirming that.

I take it there is no other way of recording an only child other than entering as a fact

I have secondary evidence from an adult Grandchild, that the grandfather had only 1 child. The Child Count Attribute =1 seems to simply duplicate the already existing information (admittedly without details) for that child's birth, so it does not seem appropriate. Is there a way to record that the c...

Jane - that helps a bit, hadn't noticed that in FH. Thanks Tatewise, but the quote I included in the original question was taken from the paragraph you quoted. What I was asking was what the difference/implication was. AdrianBruce. I understand the difference now. I think for my purposes I'm happy t...

Not sure if this should be in this Forum, or the main one, but as it is to do with AS settings, I'll ask it here, although I suspect it may belong more to the FH General forum. In the General settings for AS is an option to create name citation (i.e. the name of the individual is linked to the sourc...

Ann

That does seem to be the optimal solution

Thanks again.

Making a bit more sense now.

That does add to the confusion. Thanks tho.

I'll try and have a look at this myself next week. I must finish the line I'm working on which is a Canadian one before I come back to this one.

All the additional info is much appreciated tho.

Yes, that seems to be her. Selina is resident with grandfather in 1851, in the census, but no mention of Mary. I was a little hesitant to divert onto this line, as I suspected it would lead down a few blind alleys. Samuel (g'father) seems to have found himself a new wife by 1861 census (he's 62, she...

I like that solution.

Thanks, I'll do it

How do others deal with this issue. I have an 1851 English census where the head of the household, Samuel Salt, has three adult children, all showing the same surname, two males and a daughter. In addition, there is a granddaughter with surname Neville. A quick search on the Internet seems to sugges...

Thanks. That's annoying. I didnt think to seaarch on zoom.

Every report I have tested so far opens with the report in Page Width View.

Is there any way to set the default view to be Whole Page?

Couldn't spot anything in Preferences or in the forum

Thanks

I thought I did it from within FH, but I just read GroupIndex.fhdata, and Military2 was still there. The other sets I deleted were not listed in Groupindex though, so I must have deleted them properly with FH. I've just re-named the Groupindex file, re-started FH, and FH has re-created it, and it no...

Yes it is my fault. I did tidy up fact sets.

After the last effort, I spotted that the fact sets were a bit confused. So I got rid of at least 1.

The debug failed at Military2 which is a set I deleted.

Sorry


Colin

I'm almost scared to post this, but I'm now getting a different error. When I run Multifact now I get the following error message. multi.jpg I had used the plugin once without any issue. I then left it a few days, although I did use FH itself, so I hope I haven't created the error myself. Colin PS j...

Helen Very useful! Just used it to put in a simple residence fact for a family of 4. Worked perfectly. One minor comment. I did not spot the "Facts Created" arrow, and the "Facts created" window was not visible when I opened Multifact. I therefore did not know that I had created the facts correctly,...

Many thanks Helen.

I have opened it and it seem to work fine.

Unfortunately I won't be able to actually use it until the new year. Got to spend some time with the Grandchildren!

Thanks again, and Merry Christmas to all!

Meant to clarify, one way or another, I used the "old" data files.

Also bear in mind I have an install on my laptop which also access the same data files. The laptop was new in Oct 2018, and has not been re-installed since then. It would have been installed as 6.2.2. then updated immediately.
