I would like to create a Surname Cloud from data in a Project within Family Historian 6, because I think it would be a most useful graphic to place on my web site. Does anyone know how to create it, please? I assume what I need to do is to create is a list of the surnames within a particular project and the frequency in which they occur. That could then be fed into another program to create the Surname Cloud. But I don't know how to do it! Any suggestions, please?

Re: Surname Cloud
Marion, I've moved this to the FH General Usage Forum because it is not a Research topic.
There are two plugins in the Plugin Store that gives counts of Surnames:
Surname Summary Report
Top 20 Surnames in Bar Chart Format
I'm not sure about the next step of forming a webpage surname cloud.

Lots of Word Cloud generators on the web

I picked one, copied the first name column from a query and pasted it in! From https://www.freewordcloudgenerator.com/ ... ewordcloud

Thank you very much David, that is certainly the type of thing that I was looking for.

Re: Surname Cloud
@Jane had a little plugin that did this some time ago that was only published here in the forum. A forum search should turn it up.

Re: Surname Cloud
That old plugin is in the Word Cloud Experiments (11002) posting but it does not run without some minor edits.
However, it relies on http://www.wordle.net/compose which no longer seems to exist.
