That is caused by the Fact Witness entry against the Birth Event for the mother Sarah as Informant. FH only ever displays ONE instance of a Fact/Sentence. So the 18 Sep 1842 Birth Event is overridden by the Fact Witness Informant Role/Sentence in Sarah's details. You cannot delete a child's Birth Ev...

I presume that in Tools > Fact Types... you have the Adoption Event for RootsMagic Import as shown below. That is eclipsing the Standard Adoption Event, which can be seen by ticking Show Hidden. All you need to do is select the Adoption Event for RootsMagic Import and click the Delete button. image....

You could attach the spreadsheet Excel file and the FH Text Scheme file instead of images. Then users can copy & paste the expressions. The Text Scheme can be exported using File > Import/Export > Export > Diagram Text Scheme... Also, it can be found in File Explorer at C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie...

You can add the Ancestral Sources Data Entry plugin to the FH Tools menu and that will invoke AS from FH with the advantages that it ensures the correct Project is used, the current Individual is pre-selected, the desired mode is opened, and a Close on 'Save Entry to File' option is added.

Sorry, I don't understand what extra box you are talking about. If you mean the Add to Tools Menu tick box, you must click the More>> button to open the side panel to see it. You cannot add AS itself to any menu because it is a separate companion Windows program. Perhaps you mean the Ancestral Sourc...

Yes, use the Date Qualifier DAY_OF_WEEK as explained in the Help page for Sentence Template Codes under How to Use a Specific Date Format. Add that to the Tools > Fact Types... Death fact Sentence Template. e.g. {individual} died <of {cause}> {date:DAY_OF_WEEK} {%FACT.DATE%} {place} {age}. The {date...

Instead of using the 1st Occupation you could use the preferred Occupation.
The preferred Occupation is marked in the Properties Box with a Fact Flag.
i.e. %INDI.OCCU[1]% versus %INDI.OCCU[preferred]%

To help with the problem of a green and red mark please post the Used Item Templates for the marks.

The way to find the FH V7 download is to visit the Family Historian website DOWNLOADS > DOWNLOAD ARCHIVE at https://www.family-historian.co.uk/downloads/download-archive and follow the Install Version 7 link from there to https://www.family-historian.co.uk/install7 . It should not matter which folde...

I believe you are running FH V7 but your Profile on the right still says FH V6.2 So please click your username jbrooks, navigate to Edit Profile, select Family Historian: V7, then scroll down to the SUBMIT button. See the FHUG KB Family Historian Copy and Migration Guide . Helen has explained about ...

Yes, top level items have special rules that are designed to cope with spacing and special character punctuation such as commas and semi-colons. See FH Help Source Template Formats under Special-Handling for Top-Level Text where it explains the rules for handling commas, dashes, colons, semi-colons,...

If the last set of parentheses are always prefixed with a hyphen and space use this: =MidText( %FAM.MARR.SOUR>OBJE>FILE.TITL%, FindText( %FAM.MARR.SOUR>OBJE>FILE[1].TITL%, "- (" ) + 1 ) You might have to experiment with the + 1 and use + 2 instead to extract the desired text. Assuming ther...

Assuming you can rely on the " - " delimiters the following =Section(...) function should work: =Section( %FAM.MARR.SOUR>TITL%, 2, " - " ) To extract text enclosed in parentheses is more difficult. Use =FindText(...) to get position of opening parenthesis and =MidText(...) to ext...

I think using a Fact local Note weblink should work fine, especially as it is only a few cases.

I hope you didn't run FH V6 on any Projects as it will corrupt them and need to be recovered from FH V7 backups.
Your licence now only applies to FH V7 and it would infringe the licence to install FH V6 at the same time.

I sympathise with your predicament.
Are there any other FHUG Legacy users for which these problems are a concern?

If the media files are held outside the FH Project and suitably backed up by the Apple system then little is lost. It is only when moving the FH Projects from one computer to another that there is any impact. Media within the FH Project migrate automatically with the Project data without any manual ...

I agree with you that most of these Legacy direct import data omissions are bugs not features. If a Legacy GEDCOM import is used instead then most of that data is imported correctly. Alternate Names were imported directly in earlier FH versions but not now in FH V7.0.23. The FH Support page https://...

The longest example filename in your posting is 132 characters long. Do you keep your media files inside the FH Project folder, in which case the path begins with such as: C:\Users\Mike\OneDrive\Documents\Family Historian Projects\Sample Project\Sample Project.fh_data\Media\ which is 103 characters ...

I've added a bit more explanation to my original reply.

Try putting the outer angle-brackets around the entire note structure: <<b>Note</b>: {Note}.> The outer angle-brackets need something conditional inside, e.g. the {Note} text may or may not exist. That then governs the entire content of the angle-brackets. All your other uses of angle-brackets have ...

Gary, can you explain why your file paths are so long. Is your path to the FH Projects folder very long? Is the length of the Project name very long? Do you have many long name nested folders in the Project Media subfolder? Are your Media filenames very long? Abbreviating any of the above will help.

As I said earlier, you can achieve that in FH by using the Diagram > Enable Moving/Resizing option for Box & Bar to bring partners together, and use the Expansion Buttons to close branches. It depends on which family grouping you prefer to be closest. i.e. partners close together, or parents nea...

There does not seem to be any way to reduce the spaces between items in the box text. However, why not combine the the Fact Icon with the Source colour as shown below? image.png With partners displayed as in your last posting, how are the Ancestors of Harms Antje included? If you remove those Ancest...

When creating modified Text Schemes, it is recommended that the Clone... button is used on a Text Scheme similar to the one you need to create a custom copy. Then the original Text Scheme is preserved for reference. OK, I see what you mean regarding the distance between partner boxes. I would be int...

Try the Export Gedcom File plugin Version 5.8.3 Date 03 Sep 2024 via the link below:

It should now consider all "Process Crop Error" messages as similar so "Yes Inhibit" should work.
