If you have a double screen system, try moving to the Primary screen (the one with the Windows start button.

There is a know bug in a couple of Graphics card drivers (mostly the default windows ones I think) which means the screen is sometimes not redrawn correctly on a 2nd monitor.

That is not the subject it is the email it is sent from. I would need to reconfigure all the Amazon services to change the email, so no.

I suspect you are being asked for the name of the "Named list" you want to use and you have not created one.

So put in a name you want and then tell Family Historian to create it.

On the gear wheel menu select Add row records to Named List.

Another way to do this is to use the Export option and use the query to select the people you want to upload instead. You might find this article from the Knowledge base helpful as creating a web site poses the same problems as creating a privatised file to upload to Ancestry or other data sharing s...

Would be a good start. Then you can copy it and add columns for your CENS records.

Changing the Object section of the definitions to -- Create Objects function fhNewAge() ---@cast item -nil end function fhNewDate(iYear, iMonth, iDay, strSubtype) ---@cast item -nil end function fhNewDatePt(iYear, iMonth, iDay, bYearDD, bBC, strCalendar) ---@cast item -nil end function fhNewItemPtr(...

I see wavy lines for : functions as when I set up the definitions file I could not quite work out how to avoid the error on the fields defined using NewItemPtr. The definition is probably not quite right. e.g image.png My Workspace is simply { "folders": [ { "path": "."...

Do the first diagram and then right click and select Insert Diagram and select the one you want, you can then save the result as a chart using Diagram>Save as from the menu.

The best place to look for help on Functions in the Family Historian Help in the Advanced section.
The above code will colour the box if there is a death date and the computed age at death was less than one.

I have recently had several complaints about unsolicited messages being sent via Private messages. As Helen says this worries new users. This was a reminder that sending out these sort of messages is impolite and highly discouraged. I will update the rule to include details as above, unfortunately t...

Can I remind you that using the private messaging facility to send unsolicited messages is not allowed. Users reported for doing so will have their ability to send private messages removed. (Any message you receive will have instructions for reporting it if necessary). image.png If you wish to disab...

Another option is to use the Search All Possible Names plugin and leave the search fields blank.

When you search for matches, Family Historian uploads some of the data to compare. It does not permanently upload the information. Are you sure you are not looking at the information from your DB which is used to compare to records offered. This page explains in detail how the matching works. https:...

Quick answer to the restore is NO. If the install changed anything it needed to, so restoring the old ones is more likely to harm than good.

I don't think the standard CSV import plugin can take the file so you will probably have to write your own plugin, but you could experiment with it to see and perhaps use it as a base.

They were actually indexed correctly. The refinement list was limited by default to 10 values and 'task list' matched on 11 years in the forum.

Unfortunately reindexing again will occur a large cost so as long as they are indexed I am inclined to leave as is.

I believe this is fixed now.

Could you give some specific examples, I can see several here:

The store them up and do at the end is the way I work too. Mainly because if you delete in-line you can lose your point in the loop. This is especially true if what you are deleting may have a branch below it. If you are deleting in-line you need to be sure you have read the next field, which will n...

Another option, is to use a flag or custom fact to "Mark" the spouse as "End of Research". This way you can record what you want about the spouse, but have a reminder that you do not intend to go further on this line. This also gives you flexibility to change your mind, while mak...

Well you told it to use year x so I am not surprised. You need to build the string it will not magically spot you mean x is a variable.
