Thomas Gallop had been fixed only because I went in and did it myself. So I went back and these had been imported into RM in the description field. So I will have to fix these. Is there an easy way to selectively move these instances to the place field or is that going to be a manual process. The wh...

That is very odd because as you can see in the next post the results of converting an attribute to event are that my place data is moved into a source note on every item.

I guess you can only attach three images, so I will post the results in next post

In the focus window in the top left corner I would like to see the persons fully adorned name, ie

Prefix First Middle “Nickname” Last Suffix

Can this be changed to this format easily?

So can you use this plugin both directions: from event to attribute and attribute to event?

Is it reasonable to expect these fields to automatically map from event to attribute and attribute to event
Date. -> Date
Place. -> Place
Address -> Address
Note. ->. Note

My apologies for the duplicate post. I had forgotten about that. I was testing the software back then for about a month. Since then I have not used the software until today. I did search back about 5 pages of posts and did not see anything before I posted. Anyways, my bad... So that addin will allow...

I just imported a GEDCOM file of a tree that has been worked on for almost 20+ years. The previous client was Roots Magic 7. I noticed a curious anomaly with the way it imported facts. It created an event and attribute for many custom facts but not all. QUESTIONS: 1. Is there a good reason for their...

Hi,

Can you merge facts? If so how?

On another note, what or how does FH treat events different from attributes? I noticed that upon importing my GED it created my custom facts from the other app. It looks like it created one event and one attribute for each?

So Tate,

1. Where is it documented how to createcustim templates.
2. If it is not documented, then what steps do I perform to create a custom EE bibliography and citation?

So all these addons are LUA? That is cool and nice to know they can be modded as needed. Are you serious that FH does not use a relational dB? It really uses a flat file? That is scary! So performance degraded with size exponentially? How does the software do with large trees? I can only say that if...

Adrian. I get your point as in the U. S. census you are technically creating a source for each county under the EE method. Same thing can apply to Vital Records like BDMD info. Let me provide my thoughts on this. Let’s take Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates in Kentucky. The EE standard would ge...

One side question: 1. Can I access my data by SQL script? Getting Back to Citations, Sources and Evidence Explained. I too use EE as my standard of best practice, but I am fully aware that standards of best practices and life are two different worlds. That said, I want to at least try to stick to th...

Wow! Thanks for all the feedback... By Normalized, I mean that database form of the definition. I want one entry for each entity and I want all entities to be standardized. For example, let’s take some places as an example. 1. I am want one term for the United States of America, ie. United States! I...

Hay, I am trying to evaluate Family Historian for a 3rd time after prompt from a troll who swears Family Historian is the #1 genealogy software. I have been researching this subject for over a year. I have looked at Family Historian twice before and was not impressed. My biggest hang up at this poin...
