* Timeline

[CathyC]

Is there any way of creating a diagrammatic timeline in Family Historian? When I first started I used to use Family Tree Maker & that had a facility to draw a diagram across the page between two specified years & then show in long thin boxes the lifespan of everyone in the tree who was alive during that period. I found it particularly useful for identifying people I should have been able to find on census returns (& yes, I know Family Tree Analyser does that too but not diagrammatically.)

It is also useful for seeing which people were alive at the same time & for getting an instant "snapshot" of a couple with their children - I liked it a lot! However, I haven't been able to find a way of doing that in FH. Putting the info into an excel spreadsheet & drawing it that way would be too tedious....

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

I admit there is not a great deal of support for timelines in FH but there here a few suggestions.
Queries:
fhugdownloads:contents:timeline|> Query:Fact ~ Timeline
fhugdownloads:contents:query_timeline_facts|> Query:Fact ~ Timeline Facts
Plugins:
Timeline Chart creates web pages of timelines of persons.
Lookup Missing Census Facts does not produce a timeline but helps with your Census search problem.
