Location information

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is any functionality within FH4 to be able to print out the locations of members on my family tree.

To give you an idea of why I am asking, this would be for when I go visit the area and I am wondering if I could print off a list of locations from each census entry so I can plot them onto a map?

Thanks in advance.

You could use a fact query to extract all the locations for who ever you want.

Personally I use Family Atlas on my Gedcom file to do this, but if you just want a list of people and locations you don't need to, a query will do just as well.

Of course if you just want a quick way to see what people are relevent for a location you can use the Work With Places Tool and the Record Link button to pick up the people linked to the location, which can be saved as a named list.

Hi Jane,

Many thanks for your reply. I'm still getting used to FH so I will try to investigate all the methods you mention.

Thanks again.

Could you just give a quick example as to how to do this? If you have time.

Is Family Atlas a stand-alone, seperate package?
