I suspect that this is a side effect of 18014|Marriage Witnesses where you wanted Witnesses to be top of the list so changed it to _Witnesses with a leading underscore. Thus, in any Auto-Text Template where it uses ASSOCLIST[Witnesses] that must change to ASSOCLIST[_Witnesses] . So use Tools > Autot...

Another workaround I have discovered is outlined below:
Use Internet > Search the Internet..., select MyHeritage SuperSearch, click Go To Site, and Log in to MyHeritage.
While that log in is active the Internet Data Matches ~ Web Search window is automatically logged in.

It is advisable to use the Export Gedcom File plugin in (FTA) Family Tree Analyzer mode to create the GEDCOM file for import to FTA.

If you really need both versions of the image to be displayed in Reports then that is the way to do it. There is only one Media file and one Media record, so the only extra is the Link to Face frame setting. If you don't need both versions in Reports then the full image is always viewable in the Edi...

The Tools > Work with Data > Addresses... dialogue gives you some useful clues. On the right is a Used column that indicates how many times that Address has been used in your Project. Now it might be that it is used multiple times by one Individual, but the Records... button lists every record for y...

Sorry, the word 'Census' crept in by mistake and should have included all source types. The advice page to point to will be the new KB equivalent to the how_to:using_flags_and_icons_and_expressions|> Using Flags and Icons and Expressions but revised with some advice on replacing AS Flags with Expres...

Hi David. They are not really defunct Projects but an arbitrary collection of folders and files outside your Project. They 'show up' because Media records in your Project link to them by the explicit paths shown. Referring back to your posting on Fri 11th Sep 2020 13:07 , most of those files are on ...

The Boxes tab has up/down black arrows to let you order the Conditions any way so they are in logical groups. The how_to:using_flags_and_icons_and_expressions|> Using Flags and Icons and Expressions has Worked Examples of how to check Source Citations for such as BMD Certificates. e.g. =ContainsText...

For background advice see Knowledge Base > Using Flags and Icons and Expressions.

sgauntlett, have you reviewed Using Flags and Icons Knowledge Base article that explains how you can dispense with record Flags for Census years altogether and use nine simple Expressions instead. The big advantage is that once those Expressions are set up, you never have to maintain those Flags eve...

There is background advice in how_to:handle_people_with_multiple_names|> How to Handle People With Multiple Names . It is quite popular not to record the married name of women. From most dialogues, it is fairly easy to see their married surname, as their spouse is shown alongside in the Focus Window...

I'm not sure you actually need any Named Lists initially, so let us explore Queries first. In the fhugdownloads:queriesindi|> Downloads and Links ~ Query Type: Individual there are several candidates: fhugdownloads:contents:bmd_-_checklist|> Query:Individual ~ BMD - Checklist focusses on BMD events ...

See the thread 16255|Best Export Gedcom File Mode to GedView? . When dealing with other products the Export Gedcom File plugin is usually the best bet. Otherwise products can get confused by FH custom tags or omit certain standard GEDCOM tag details. It currently has no specific setting for GedView ...

Hi Nick, depending on what you want to do with the exported details you might want to try using: File > Backup/Restore > Medium Backup (Project File & Project Data Subfolder Only) That creates a ZIP file of the important Project data excluding the Public folder. Unless you have an enormous number of...

Yes, start with Knowledge Base > Understanding Expressions.
That cross-refers to Data References and Functions that are the key components and to FH Help pages.

If you have any particular Expression in mind then we could use it as a tutorial here.

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve because your description has some contradictions. You mention extracting the data relating to one individual, but later imply you want it for all individuals. You talk about creating a "What I've done" or "To Do" list, but they are complete o...

That does sound unusual but please try some other checks first. Try selecting another Project such as the Family Historian Sample Project and Set as Default Project so it gets the green tick. Then Exit and restart FH as before. If that works for a couple of other Projects then we need to investigate...

What you are seeing is the Project Window that lists all the Projects and presumably includes your main Project. FH does that when no Project has been nominated as the Default Project. So right-click on your main Project name and choose Set as Default Project . That is it. You can always return to t...

Excellent David, please review that Project and check you are happy with all the data. You can run the Tools > External File Links command as before to identify the 16 broken links that will have X marks. Please ask if you need any help resolving those 16 broken links. When things have stabilised, l...

Sorry, another silly typo, this time the % pairs were not balanced. Now also corrected in my original posting. Not doing too well today :lol: As you get into writing Expressions you will get used to spotting those mistakes yourself. Compare these Expressions with the KB, e.g. =ContainsText( %INDI.BA...

Welcome to the FHUG Nick. There is no straightforward built-in mechanism for only including the 1st Preference image for each Individual. However, there is a Plugin that will do it called Clean Unwanted Fields . To use a Plugin you must have purchased Family Historian. They don't work with the free ...

Yes, sorry, my typo. I was focussed more on other aspects and forgot to check the brackets. They are corrected in my original posting and match the KB examples. It may be more foolproof to check the 1911 Census Source Citation than the Place name. Some examples are shown in the KB. e.g. The referenc...

Ok, so just to recap, you now know how to differentiate a Project from a free-standing GEDCOM . The steps below will create a Project from a free-standing GEDCOM so make a note. On the Windows PC in FH use the File > Project Window command and click the New Project... button. Then select Import from...

Checkout how_to:understanding_expressions|> Understanding Expressions where there are various examples of using the CENS[year=1900] in combination with the ContainsText(...) function. So your expressions would become: =ContainsText( %INDI.CENS[year=1911].PLAC%, ", England" ) for the England 1911 Cen...

I have no objection.
