Sorry for this daft question but, as a non-techie, I'd like to know how to create/print-out a list of addresses from an individual record?

I want to do a fieldwork trip tracing their footsteps/various residences throughout life. In the past, I've just copied them all out in chronological order by hand but there's probably an easier way?!

A solution, may not be the best.

Open the standard Query 'Individual Timeline' and make a copy of it namiing it, for example, 'Individual Timeline with Addresses'. Modify the column set in the copy by adding 'Address' and 'Place:FULL', position them where you would like. Now run the query for your individual and print the result.

Thank you, David, but I'm afraid I've fallen at the first hurdle! I can't find a standard query saying 'Individual Timeline'?

I'm looking at the query window and checking the drop-down menu but can't see it? Am I in the wrong place or just missing something obvious?!

What David overlooked is that you are using FH V5 that does not have that Query which only shows a subset of Facts anyway.

I could create the Query for you, but I think it is a good learning exercise to do it yourself.
For general advice about Queries see the how_to:creating_a_query|> Creating a Query.

So start with View > Standard Queries > All Facts.
On Query toolbar top right, use right-hand Query Menu and choose Save As Custom Query.
Change the Query Name to say All Fact Addresses and click Save button.

On the Columns tab, in left hand Fields pane, select Address.
Now click the central > button to add it to right hand Columns pane.

Now select the Rows tab.
In the Expression field click the droplist triangle on right and choose =FactOwner(%FACT%,1,MALES_FIRST).
Then tick Parameter lower right and in Label enter Record.

Run Query by clicking red triangle in Query toolbar top right.
In the Record prompt enter the Individual of your choice.

In the Result Set adjust the column widths as desired by dragging the separator line between each column heading.
Click the Print Preview icon in Query toolbar top right (sheet with magnifying glass).
If that looks OK then choose the Print command top left.
Otherwise Close and adjust Result Set columns or click any column heading to sort into order.
Then repeat the Print Preview.

To run this Query again use View > Custom Queries > All Fact Addresses.

Thank you so much for that, Mike.

It actually worked and I even managed to delete two of the unwanted columns so it fitted on one page. Very happy!
