Family Historian User Group

That is a good framework. How is Mandatory Requirement 2. interpreted in the context of restoring a backup of user settings? Is Mandatory Requirement 5. referring to uploading data to cloud storage? Perhaps that should be made clearer. Is there any other way data could be uploaded? There are several...

Ron, are you entering 0160 via the number keypad or using the row of digits above QWERTY on the keyboard?
Only the number keypad will work as explained in How to Enter Accented and Other Special Characters.

Welcome to the FHUG. That is an annoying problem and if due to the size of the Book then it will be difficult for anyone else to reproduce. It seems that the Book > Item Settings for each chapter are independent of each other. So the Item Settings for the Family Group Sheet with multiple images shou...

The Search and Replace plugin Version 4.0 Date 03 Apr 2024 is now in the Plugin Store.

The prototype links earlier in this thread have been disabled.

It would make things easier for me if you posted the script that you used, so I'm having to guess. I assume you continued to use fhSetValueAsText(ptrVal,StrOldData.."="..strOldText) So the variable StrOldData must hold the text Note Thus fhSetValueAsText(ptrVal,strOldText) should eliminate...

If you mean the Record Id of the Family Record where the Marriage Event is held, then that is not possible.

If you mean some other 'Record Id' then please explain.

John, I think you are wrong.
When merging two Family records any children will automatically sync or be added by default.

Yes, that is because the plugin is only expecting the Place field country to be Norway and not Norge.
I have added Norge as an alternative to Norway in the plugin.
So please try Lookup Missing Census Facts plugin Version 4.8.2 Date 02 Apr 2024.

Roger, when you use Extract All... it asks you to Select a Destination folder.
Type or copy the folder path C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Icons into that box.
Then the 2021 Converted Icons folder will be extracted there.

Yes, as illustrated by my posted Media file path & name: Media\GROCensusRecords\1881 RG11 1226 064 08 OLDEN, James & William.jpg You can have any valid Windows folder structure as long as it does not break the 255 character length for the entire path from drive letter to file extension, i.e....

In my experience when two key households appear on one census page the key people have the same surname. So I have the Census page file named as: Media\GROCensusRecords\1881 RG11 1226 064 08 OLDEN, James & William.jpg The Media Record Title is the same as the filename. That Media Record is linke...

That is because you are using =ItemIf(...) instead of =TextIf(...)

The :SURNAME qualifiers are not a data reference, but produce a textual name.

So =ItemIf(...) forces FH to ignore the :SURNAME qualifiers and just use the whole NAME data references.

It is not me who wants to find duplicate Name Citations. I'm busy enough as it is!

Dave, would it be possible for you to ask CP to update that plugin? Use their Support Ticket System at https://support.calico-pie.com/open.php Request CP to not only include Name Citations, but also whole record Citations, and preferably all other Citations, so that the plugin behaviour matches its ...

I guess you are referring to the FHUG KB Downloads 2021 Converted Icons . Have you downloaded the ZIP file via the link below the screenshot image of the icons? Have you extracted the contents of the ZIP file via right-click Extract All... ? Have you located the C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Hist...

Dave, the version I posted yesterday is NOT the Plugin Store version. (It just happens to keep the same name.) As I said yesterday, I have adapted it to include Names , so please try it. I am tempted to ask CP to update their plugin to include Name Citations, and all other possible Citations for FH ...

Yes, that is an excellent article with much good advice.
However, it omits the recent Ancestry Synchronization plugin designed specifically to obtain 'hints' on Ancestry.

Try Find Duplicate Citations which includes Names as well as Facts.

At about line 4133 in the plugin script, it handles new Event or Residence facts where an Attribute value exists. Instead of "SOUR2" use the "NOTE2" tag, but you must cope with the possibility that a local Note already exists. If it exists the Attribute value text must be appende...

I should have mentioned that you must tick the option: Use their Facts to decide if each person was at home or abroad on the missing Census dates ? Otherwise, the plugin will include anyone alive in the Census date range. Click on the header of the ancestry, findmypast, familysearch, ot myheritage c...

Hopefully, you are working in a copy of your Project, otherwise, the Individuals will be permanently deleted. Is your list of records to delete in a Named List ? If so then right-click its name and choose Delete Listed Records... See FHUG Knowledge Base > Delete One or Many Records . Please explain ...

Welcome to the FHUG Colin. Could you provide a little background of what you were using on your old computer. e.g. Was it an earlier FH version? Did you use Ancestral Sources? Have you loaded your GEDCOM as a Project? Have you clicked the yellow Show Sources button in the Property Box toolbar? image...

Please try Lookup Missing Census Facts plugin Version 4.8.1 Date 29 Mar 2024. It fixes the problem with filtering Individuals according to their location versus the Census location & date. Note that Individuals with negligible Fact details will be assumed to live in the Census location. It also...

I must apologise as it seems a bug has crept into the plugin to do with the country filtering
Let me investigate and I will provide a fixed version for you to try tomorrow.

No, let the plugin do that searching for you!
It will find the people who are alive in the right country for a particular Census.
