Importing from TMG into FH V6

Post by trilbyjm » 15 Dec 2014 00:07

I am looking at buying FH V6 to replace TMG.

I downloaded a copy yesterday to try.

I can't see where the Witness tags end up and I don't know if the memo fields are imported.

Memo fields are not imported currently, to view witnesses go to the Facts Tab on either the principle for a fact or any witness.

On the Facts tab the Principle has a blue bullet in left margin, whereas Witnesses are identified by a blue arrow.

If there are Witnesses to a Fact there is a three blue ball icon in the More column.
Right-click on the row and choose Witnesses, then you can Edit/Add them, etc.

I am also looking to substitute TMG with FH, looking good so far.
Using trial version of FH (v6).
In TMG there is a 'research' (ie 'todo') list:
is there an equivalent in FH?
and are the TMG records associated with the research list imported into FH?

Have a look at how_to:create_work_in_progress_or_research_to_do_lists|> Create Work In Progress or Research To Do Lists.

Can't say if TMG records associated with the research list are imported to FH, so try it and see. If not, then report to Support at Family Historian, as they are keen to know what does not import.
