Location of GED files

Post by bormley » 07 Jul 2011 15:52

Hmm, probably a bit of a stupid question [oops], but can anyone tell me, please, where FH usually stores the data GEDcom when the program is closed?
I have 'searched' my PC and found DOZENS of folders with similar names. I want to make sure (i) which folder to back up and (ii) which folders I may safely delete!
And finally, can I change the storage location for the GEDcom?
Any help or suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers

Sorry, as you were, I've found the storage location - under the Project name!
Thanks anyway

If you click on the Path description you can change it, but you need to copy your Project folders separately.

Thanks Jane,

That's very helpful - I didn't want to lose several years' work!

Regards and happy researching,

Chris
