Hi folks, might be late to this party or may have done something wrong but is anyone else having problems using the NLS GB 20s-40s map option in FH and in Map Life? I see on the NLS website: " From March 2022, these layers have all moved to the MapTiler Cloud API. There is no longer a fixed annual s...

Thanks both

Haven’t asked a question for awhile, so I wanted to break that with this. Is there a way/method of adding an icon to a fact line in a diagram? I mean for a birth insert an icon at the beginning of the line … Born: XXXX in YYYYY, ZZZZ or Buried: XXXX in YYYY, ZZZZ Icons would represent the fact being...

Thanks both, really useful insights. Yes Mike, what you describe many people doing, is exactly what I’ve done. I’ve used the relationship attribute to describe the relationship rather than create an unknown father. In fact, my previous tool wouldn’t allow that, so I presume the GEDCOM representation...

Y then marries X some 10 years after Joe BLOGGS was born, so there’s very little connection between X and Joe....

Thanks Mike, I suspected that would be the case, just thought I'd check first. On another but related issue, I'm having a slight problem with Narrative Reporting for an individual specifying the correct parental relationship. The opening sentence begins Joe BLOGGS, son of X and Y was born ... etc In...

Hi Folks, just wanted to ask some of you FH old hands (ie experienced :D ) out there about Narrative Reports and reports in general. Clearly one of the prime reasons we do this family history malarky is for an accessible, readable report. The reports appear to be highly configurable, which is what I...

Brilliant, thanks Mike.

Hi folks, First time on the forum and new to FH, but I’ve been involved with family history for decades with other platforms. Steadily working my way through playing with FH7 and am really impressed with how configurable it is — a great example is the ability to set up source citations in the way I ...
