Essentially you add Audio media files in the same way you add Photo media files via the Multimedia tab. See how_to:v4:adding_multimedia|> Adding Photographs and Other Multimedia for details. Assuming you can play the Audio media files on your PC, then clicking the red triangular Open in Editor/Playe...

The Plugin converts each FH Flag to a custom EVEN t with TYPE set to Record Flag: <FlagName> . Most programs (including FH) need custom EVEN ts to be defined/mapped for full functionality, so that is normal. The same prompt will arise for any FH custom _ATTR ibutes or EVEN ts that you have defined. ...

No, there is no default and no limit to the number of generations. If the Plugin only shows 3 generations, then your chosen root person only has 3 generations of descendants in your FH database. [EDIT] Sorry, misunderstood that your question referred back to the Reports that Jane mentioned. (I thoug...

Thank you David that is excellent feedback. Armed with that info I can adjust the Plugin to automatically adjust those fields discarded by FTM. I propose ABBR is move to TITL unless that already exists, when a labelled NOTE will be used. REFN and TEXT will be moved to a labelled NOTE. The whole poin...

Welcome to the FHUG. I have moved this posting to the Plugin Discussion Forum where it fits better. This discussion follows on from thread 10974|Scottish names & d'Aboville Numbers . If you have followed the instructions successfully then you can use Tools > dAboville Numbers to run the Plugin. ...

I am not sure which message you mean, nor why you want to delete it?

But note the 'trash can' icon above each posting lets you delete it.

Yes, there are several steps to the process if you need to export your entire database including all media photos: In FH use File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File and Add All then click OK It defaults to saving in Public folder, but I advise you create a separate TNG folder for future use. Giv...

You are correct, there is no option to totally exclude PLAC es from Reports . Narrative Reports have the Use Short Form for Repeated Place Names option: If checked, place names are only given in full the first time they are mentioned within each section. Thereafter only the first part of the place n...

I have a prototype Plugin V1.0 on my SkyDrive at Export Gedcom File . It is still a 'Work in Progress' evolution of the Export Gedcom to TNG Plugin but stable enough for general use. It cannot damage your Project as it only reads the source Gedcom file, and creates exported Gedcom files with very di...

I have a prototype Plugin V1.0 on my SkyDrive at Export Gedcom File.

If you choose the Genes Reunited Tree dropdown option it will shorten those long DATE lines, and also convert FH custom tags to Standard Gedcom local Notes, Note Records, etc.

Let me know if it works.

I assume you have checked ALL Census Records for every decade from 1841 to 1901 in case those children happened to be alive on those dates.

In the UK, many Public Libraries have a subscription to Ancestry for members to use for free. It might be worth checking down under.

Yes, the one for the Project you export from, alongside the Public folder offered by default, so the Gedcom is next to the Media folder holding the images it links to. I have updated how_to:exporting_gedcom_with_multimedia|> Exporting GEDCOM with Multimedia to reflect this new found wisdom.

Alternatively, you can tick the Exclude From Diagrams box for any higher preference photo.

So the rule is that Diagrams display the highest preference Multimedia tab image that does NOT have Exclude From Diagrams ticked.

Yes, after some more experiments, that explains it. e.g. Project A is the target Project using the File > Merge/Compare command. Project B is another genuine Project holding the records to be merged. Both projects have conventional Relative Media Links starting Project Data Folder - Media . After Pr...

If your were really keen, then one other alternative is to order all the possible Birth Certificates until you find the matching parents.

Hi Chet, I have moved this posting to the Research Forum where it fits better, as it is not to do the General Usage of FH. It may help if you set your FH version: Click User Control Panel at the very top of this page, and on its Profile tab enter the Family Historian Version , then click Submit . Yo...

By "perfect File Links " I mean the Multimedia Record File Links to the Media files. (Not the Individual links to Multimedia records). The Multimedia tab for Merge is in the middle between Notes and Sources. By "gets broken" I meant does not exist. I'll do some experiments myself...

So to summarise, apart from putting images in \Media\ instead of \Media\Photos\ , all the Multimedia were correctly migrated into the Project with perfect File Links . What happens if you manually create the \Media\Photos\ folder in advance of the Merge ? Is it possible that some of the Multimedia a...

Try using the instructions at how_to:import_from_family_tree_maker|> Import from Family Tree Maker (FTM).

Oh dear! Firstly, your database is NOT in a Family Historian Project structure. It is using what we call Standalone Gedcom format, dating from FH V3 , where your photos are NOT incorporated into a formal folder structure. That is why FH says Family Historian Gedcom at the top. If all the Work with E...

I have absolutely irrefutable evidence that Census details can be inaccurate, so beware. One female ancestor claimed on the 1911 Census that one daughter had died: She gives details of her daughters from her 1st Marriage although should have been for her 2nd Marriage at the time: Total number of Chi...

Roger, I have moved this to the Research Forum where it fits better. From the 1911 Census you know how long the parents were married. So this gives you a start date for the Child Births. From the Census records over those decades you have an idea where they lived. You know the Child's Surname. So yo...

I accept that OneDrive seems to be different in this case.
BUT if I understand correctly it is where the folders are shared between different OneDrive accounts.
If both PC use the same OneDrive account then folders are synchronised, which is sufficient for FH Projects on two PC.

Your original posting mentioned Ancestor Diagrams and Descendant Diagrams , but your latest posting mentions All Relatives Diagram . So presumably the problem afflicts them all? If you use the toolbar camera Media icon and View All Media are they all displayed OK in the Multimedia Window ? If you wa...
