Icons on diagrams

These had been working fine until my computer crashed and had to be replaced. Now the icons (41 etc) don't appear on newly added census information. I've tried lots of things and have got into a real mess. I seem to have each record flag twice (or more) as 1841 Census and 1841 UK Census etc. Ancestral Sources says all my flags are correctly allocated. I assume I need to delete the flags that are duplicated but not sure which ones or how. Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks

I suspect the '1841 UK Census' style are the ones that Ancestral Sources is managing. The '1841 Census' style may be ones you created with Gedcom Census (or some other method) in the past. You can look under the Ancestral Sources, under the Census menu, 'Census Flag Settings'. It will list all of the flags you are currently using for census entries.

You can delete the unwanted flags in Family Historian using an option in the Tools menu - I don't have FH to look at currently, but you should find the option to work with flags which includes the option to remove the unwanted flags.

Thanks Nick
Yes I had set up the icons on diagrams a few years ago using instructions from this web site.
I have now both cleared the contents of the extra flags and then deleted the flags leaving the ones created by Ancestral Sources and added the icons to them.
Ancestral Sources has given me a list of which ones needed to be allocated. So helpful!
Thanks again,
Hilary
