If I have understood correctly, there is no easy way to do that. It is complex enough to export a GEDCOM from FH that has full details for ancestors of your grandparents, but privatised details for their descendants, and migrate it to a new Ancestry Family Tree online. BUT I suspect that is NOT what...

I assume it is only Birth event Dates that need to be customised. So in Diagram > Options > Text tab use Clone button to copy the desired scheme, and then Edit that. In Used Items , select the Birth fact and Edit that to replace %INDI.BIRT.DATE:COMPACT% with: =TextIf( %INDI.BIRT.DATE:XDATETYPE% = &q...

The problem mainly applies to Census records, as the others do offer all the Qualifier options, including none. However, there is no option to choose the default Qualifier . That is why, in my first Reply , I suggested Irene could contact Nick Walker and see what he says. Then everyone went a bit of...

Regarding contributeyourknowledge:pageformattingsyntaxreference:basic|> Page Formatting ~ Basic Text Styles , peppered is a bit strong as there is just one textual mention and one link to wiki:dokuwiki|> DokuWiki that gives the explanation, but I'm happy for them to be replaced by " the editor ...

When faced with such as aged 10 in the 1911 census , Ancestral Sources has a default Smart dates option where for event dates before the end of June an additional year is taken off for these calculations, so the calculated year would be either 1900 or 1901. If a Baptism says the child was baptised t...

FH Help says: Approximate means the date is not exact. Calculated means the date has been calculated mathematically - for example, from an event date and age. Estimated means that the date has been estimated based on an algorithm, using some other event date. GEDCOM says much the same: ABT = About,...

In Basic Concepts I added the last bullet point to explain that Hyperlinks do more than just navigate between pages. Any further guidance on different types of wiki hyperlinks can wait until the later Adding hyperlinks or More advanced formatting techniques sections. I thought it might make it clear...

No, strangely, there appears to be no option for that. All the other BMD data entry types offer much more flexible Date of Birth options where the Date Qualifier can be selected from About (Approx / c.), Calculated (Cal), or Estimated (Est). But the Census data type is an anomaly, and does not offer...

Those cross-reference links used to be at the bottom of every one of the How To Guides where nobody found them. I moved them to the top in an attempt to make new users aware of 'search' options other than the Search box. At the time I think Jane and maybe others thought it a good idea especially for...

Unfortunately, this kind of trial and error is the only way I know to discover which versions support what features. We can then note what works for the benefit of other users in how_to:family_historian_v6_on_crossover_wine|> Family Historian V6 & Ancestral Sources V5 on Crossover, PlayOnLinux/M...

Paula, thank you for the clarification of where you are at and how that led to your original posting. The point to remember is that you knew all that, but all the people who responded did not. So we had to guess the details of your problem, and in hindsight with your recent revelations we guessed wr...

David, that is all fine except that you can have Text From Source transcripts and Media images, and also keep the report Sources section compact. In the Report Options just untick both Text from Source options and Show Source/Citations Pictures options. I'm not sure why you pick out ages and dates o...

As a partial example open the Family Historian Sample Project via the File > Project Window . It will open with Ian MUNRO and Charlotte CARRINGTON in focus. In the Property Box on the right, select either the Main tab Marr details or the Facts tab Marriage event. Ensure the yellow scroll Show Source...

Welcome to the FHUG Paula. Sorry you are having difficulties getting started. The general genealogy technique is to record a document such as Marriage Certificate as a Source record, and create derived Facts for each of the people involved, then link the Facts to the Source with Citations . The Sour...

Ah! I misunderstood the point about the problem only applying to multi-Page threads.

I am not sure that is the problem Bill, or the solution David. When you open a new entry, all the postings are shown at once and 'marked as read' without needing to scroll through them. I suspect what happened is that Bill read a posting, but by his next visit somebody had added a Reply that needed ...

That is certainly helpful David , but illustrates how the Source Citation strategy can have an impact on Reports . Clearly you are a Method 2 'lumper' of Source Citations with for example only one Source record per Census year. So people in the Report who are recorded on different Census pages all c...

I am not getting the problem, but it sounds the same as Posts not being marked as read. (16273).

The Export Gedcom Plugin - Resizing media (16281) posting has an updated Plugin V3.6.3 prototype that fixes the problem of Roots Magic not supporting blank Individual names.

The Export Gedcom Plugin - Resizing media (16281) posting has an updated Plugin V3.6.3 prototype that fixes this problem.

I've incorporated the process of converting the input images to OpenGL format before saving. So try prototype Export Gedcom File Plugin Version 3.6.3 Date 15 Nov 2018 ZIP file, and remember to unpack. When Restore Defaults is used it now produces a warning prompt with the option to cancel.

You say you " want to show the sources and have tried to keep them short, showing the minimum detail that is relevant ". So presumably you have adjusted the Report > Options > Sources tab settings to your satisfaction. Are you getting the same Source record listed more than once with diffe...

That reverse sort by pressing the Alt key while clicking the column Heading is a feature that applies throughout FH for almost every tabulated list, such as Query Result Set, Tools > Work with Data lists, but not the Facts tab.
