Family Historian User Group

Thank you for your reply and to answer your comments: Para 1 I run on Win 10 and I have checked and I am administrator. The laptop in PIN protected and family are aware of this. Para 2 I am still on V5, perhaps in the new year I'll progress to V7. V5 does all that I need at the moment so I'm not sur...

To answer your second question first. My laptop, my hard drive and I'm the family historian. Nobody else uses it so I've assumed I must be the administrator. Your first question re file path got my attention and I realised that the when I went to Back up / Restore Back up options Back up tab This st...

Tried to backup project file to hard drive today and failed! prompt said........ You don't have permission to save to this location, contact administrator to obtain permission. I have backed up to this hd before without a problem. There must be something I'm not aware of. Help would be very much app...

Hi Mike
Many thanks, that solved it.
I had the same problem some months back and corrected
it at that time. Put it down to a senior moment. Duh!

I entered a new couple to my tree using AS to enter their marriage. All went well as far as I was concerned, I've done it before. I now find they appear on the tree correctly but the wife is also shown as the mother of the husband! A yellow diagonal line joins the two. Most probably to correct it is...

If you find a family member as a servant with a family of 8,
is it best practice to enter them all or just your family member
and make a note that they were a servant with XXXXX
Your views would be appreciated.

I had linked the image as you thought I had. I have no linked the image against sourced record
cited against a will fact. I hope I phrased that correctly!
It is now as I want it. Many thanks for your reply and help.
Onward and upwards.

Have been entering multimedia documents this afternoon. They all did as I expected except one! I now have an individual who has a copy of his will alongside his name box in the focus window! It also appears on any trees that he appears on. I have been able to delete this 'picture' but at the expense...

Hi Mike

Just to finish off, the other query downloads are all now working,
after I followed the points 1 to 6 as previously suggested by yourself.

A very happy bunny and I appreciate your help.

Hi Mike I think this is the missing download https://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=fhugdownloads:contents:ancestors_missing_census_entries There appears to be title differences and I assume that is why you couldn't find it. On the download list................................Query: Individual - A...

Hi Mike Family Census Facts or Census By Year Ancesters2 I'm not sure where they came from being truthful. As you suggested I may have created the first (I've had it quite a while) but the second was only downloaded on 31/01/19. As far as I remember I got it from FHUG website. It's a mystery but I w...

These two queries do work -

Family Census Facts and
Census By Year Ancesters2

I also downloaded

Census By Year - CS2
(See forum post / Genera l/ FT Analyser information / valkriders post.

This gave the same result as the above which didn't work.

Regards .......H

Started to dabble with downloading a few custom queries. Two in particular I have a problem with. Census Missing Years and Kinsfolk Census To Do List. Both downloaded OK and appeared in the query list, but up popped when selected, ' File is not a valid Family Historian query file ' Am I doing someth...

Hi Mike I deleted the two files Show Project Statistics.dat and Show Project Statistics.grid as suggested and all (plugin) is now working. Although the two files have been replaced with files of the same name. (I'm sure this is what you expected.) Windows 7 ..yes Connection to internet via broadband...

Done that check
Tools > Work With External File Links
All seems OK
Gedcom file will be sent via E-mail.

Regards.....Howard

Hi Mike Further to the previous post I thought I would try something else. I have a number of copies of my gedcom file which I used when I was getting to grips with Ancestral Sources and attaching various media etc. in FH ( Highly recommended to all when things are not that familiar ) I opened all o...

Hi Mike

If I attach my gedcom file using Upload Attachment does that
mean that it's available to all on the forum? If that is the case
I think the E-mail route would be the better option as far as I
concerned, if that is OK with you.

Many thanks......Howard

Hi Mike, many thanks for the reply. FH version 5.0.11 is installed. File>validate was run...... no errors found. Family Historian Sample Project created as you suggested. Show Projects Statistics plugin was run and results were had on all three tabs of the results window. I did return to my own proj...

What have I done. I downloaded the plugin and it did run on the first occasion but since then when run it effectively 'freezes' FH. This is what happens. FH open on focus window then tools then plugins The plugin window appears. Two plugins are listed. Highlight Show Projects Statistics and then Run...

Hi David My Royal Family tree is very, very small compared to yours. I used it as a practise tree when adding photographs into FH v3. It was good to play with without interfering with my main tree. I have since upgraded it as a project in FH v5 for further use as a practice for multi media. Regards....

Hi Mike When you checked Tools > Work with External File Links did the File Links box start with Project Data Folder followed by the Media folder, and without any X marks against any media? That means it is all good to go, and all the links are Relative to the Media folder. Now wherever you move/cop...

An update on ....The Need to Upgrade FH v5 has been installed - all went well. My FH v3 GEDCOM is now a project in v5 My FH v3 GEDCOM with multimedia (the Royal Family) is now a project in v5 I used your advice about the top level folder for this one. I've just run through chapter 1(Getting the most...

Thank you Jane and Mike for replies. Yes Mike, you have caught me out. I had completely forgotten to get back on that post from 2011. All is OK now, I think from memory, I tracked down the missing files (fht and fhd) on my old HD, and copied then over. All is correct - I hope that makes sense! FH v5...

Having been using FH on and off for a number of years there is now the need to upgrade. What I've got: FH v3, Windows 7. File with about 600 people. Many events entered inc census, but no sources recorded. No multi media as yet. Not used Gedcom Census (Ancestral Sources). What I want to do: Update t...

Ref this post and my previous re Broken Win XP PC. Many thanks for your help over these problems. I think they are now resolved. I'm certainly a little wiser re file structure. The were a few typos in my last post !!!! Gedcom census will be updated to the latest version at sometime in the future as ...
