OK, I suspect that somehow the Named List pane has been reduced to zero width on the far right edge. ( Perhaps you have moved from a large monitor screen to a much smaller screen. ) Try repeatedly clicking the Named Lists Pane button on the menu bar and observe the right-hand window edge. Can you se...

Yes, that sounds like the template has installed correctly, and will look similar to the screenshot in fhugdownloads:contents:ancestral_sources_template_electoral_register_uk|> Ancestral Sources Template ~ Electoral Register UK . You're referring to the fhugdownloads:contents:ancestral_sources_templ...

Are you sure you have the Named List pane open in the right half of the Records Window ? i.e. Use Lists > Named List Pane to open/close the pane. Review the Named List created and check the number of Items listed on the right. That should be less than the number of Individuals shown bottom right on ...

Why are you inserting http://www.finnistree.co.uk/index.html in Step 5 Home Page Title ? You won't be uploading the FH created index.html home page so nothing in Step 5 is relevant. My first reaction is that the HTML pages for _nameindex.html and _statistics.html and all the fam1234.html files are N...

Checkout my full Reply, as you have confirmed what I suspected, and are using the wrong method to correct Place names.
Using the 'best' method does not need to find any Individual records at all, nor need any copy & pasting.

1) See how_to:delete_a_large_number_of_records|> Delete Any Number of Records and use the methods described there via the Records Window in the Places tab. 2) See how_to:finding_where_records_are_used|> Finding where Records are used that has a section dedicated to Place records. However, to correct...

To avoid any confusion, FH does not read/write every data change to the flat GEDCOM file. FH loads the GEDCOM file into some internal (thus RAM based) data management record structure. All data operations are performed internally within the FH program and thus fast even with VERY large databases. Th...

When I spoke about producing Sources by hand, I meant during an evaluation before committing to buy a licence. Once you have a licence, then you can evaluate the Plugins , which use the Lua scripting language. They do not really involve a third party as they are integrated into FH and the scripts ca...

As an example, if extended/accented characters are enabled, put the cursor in any FH text box, and try holding down the capital A key. That should produce a small popup window that allows Æ to be chosen, and a few others. You can customise those popups to include whatever characters you like. If you...

You specifically mention = and / characters, which are definitely no problem at all. All the standard symbols found on a UK/US keyboard should also pose no problem. However, some extended characters such as accented letters may not be fully supported by other genealogy products. GEDCOM offers the ch...

Thank you Daniel, but Sheila resolved that last Friday and successfully recovered her Projects.
We have now moved on to backup regimes.

How does the OP desire to have data 'as NORMALIZED as possible' fit with all that EE customisation?

Let me add that you can do everything that the Add Source From Template Plugin offers without actually using the Plugin, but it does require a little more manual effort . The Plugin is simply an aid to creating the Sources illustrated by Helen, but they can be produced by hand without the Plugin.

I have moved this to the FH General Usage Forum because Ancestral Sources is a companion product and nothing to do with your topic. This is the Family Historian User Group ( FHUG ) run by users (like you) so have nothing to do with selling licences, which must be obtained from the vendors Calico Pie...

I have moved this to the Ancestral Sources Forum. Double-check that the ...\Ancestral Sources\Settings\ folder you are downloading to has the same file path as that shown in AS in the Tools > Options > General settings for the Settings Folder: path. In Windows File Explorer right-click on that Setti...

The custom item will work because the Show if not empty mode will result in only those with text showing. You just have to ensure you have customised for enough instances for the maximum expected. The higher numbered instances that do not exist for particular Individuals will not even be labelled. Y...

With the settings chosen, the first thing to recognise is that Record Notes will be shown in two positions. ⋅  Near the top in Main Section Items labelled Note n: due to Notes Show being selected (default is Notes Hide ). ⋅  Near the end just before Sources labelled Individual No...

Yes, that is odd, but probably an accidental click & drag in Windows File Explorer might have done it. It is not too important where the 'FH Gedcom Backup Zipped' files are saved, as long as you stick to a consistent regime. I guess they are currently in the Documents\Family Historian Projects\S...

To attach a screenshot see the advice at info:forums#posting_topics|> Posting Topics and use the Attachments tab. To reset the Location: to default, left-click on blue pathname and choose Reset Location to Installation Default or click More Tasks > Project List and choose that same option. It will n...

In your File > Project Window what is the Location: set to? That determines where FH is looking for your Projects . The default is My Documents\Family Historian Projects but what does yours say, and is that where you save your Projects ? Have you always saved your Projects in the default Location: o...

As Bob says, I don't think there is an optimum image file size, because images are handled by FH in much the same way as any other Windows image tools. Regarding pixelation, it would help to know how you ' derived face image ' from the image file. Did you use an image editor such as Photoshop or Irf...

It was discussed in the thread 16889|Change census date from Year to full date mentioned earlier, but your German and English conflict does complicate things, and needs clever use of filters. The first thing to do is create a Named List of every Individual who has a German 1939 Census. You should no...

For a comprehensive answer see Knowledge Base > Finding where Records are used.

The topic Change census date from Year to full date (16889) proposed a rearrangement to the Major Options tab. The Extra Filters tab for Date fields now has an option for LMO/Sort Date (~OBJE._DATE) that had been overlooked. I've also added an option to Hide/Show White Space characters using · for s...

I suspect your mother's certificate was the free Short Certificate once issued to parents at registration. See https://www.vitalcertificates.co.uk/what-is-a-long-birth-certificate.html . I think the same applied to all UK countries, but Scotland may have been a little different. See https://www.ukof...
