Re: Merging Citations in FH7?
It is not obvious to me how the fields within a Citation could be merged anyway. How would you merge the Where Used or Text From Source fields, etc, if they refer to different sources? Matthew has said there are facts which have multiple citations to the same (lumped) source. The content of some fi...

Re: Adding Birth/Death/Marriage JPEG certificates
Hello Tim, Welcome to FHUG. You are very wise to explore the program carefully before entering a lot of data – there is a lot to learn! The brief answer to your question is yes, any file which is an image file (such as JPEG TIF, PNG) is handled in the same way regardless of whether it’s a photo or a...

Re: Search and delete duplicate Events?
Yes, my original suggestion was based on what Roger said: "....showing 2 marriages exactly the same details down to the same I.D number. How do i delete one without loosing them both? " I assumed that "all the details" meant he had already checked everything and there were no dif...

Re: Search and delete duplicate Events?
The safest option is to merge them rather than delete one. As I said in my previous reply, "... if you need to check that there are no differences at all between the two records, you can select them both and then use Edit > Merge/Compare Records." I suspect that no family records were merg...

Re: Search and delete duplicate Events?
(EDIT: Mike's reply arrived while I was writing this. I'll post mine anyway, but as Mike said a screenshot will help to confirm the problem.) You have two Family Records for the couple. Deleting one of the Family records won’t delete the individuals, so it’s safe. In the Records window look at the F...

Re: Adding Media files.
The usual recommendation for images of certificates is to link them to a Source record, and cite that Source for all the facts derived from the certificate (e.g. parents’ names, residence, age, occupation). You can also link the image directly to a fact. You don’t say whether you have already create...

Re: Saving Queries
Ken, are you asking how to save a custom query so that you can run it again (which Neil has assumed) or how to save the results of the query? Or do you mean you have queries (questions) about saving things in general? The ‘Save’ button in the main toolbar just saves the Gedcom file, which is probabl...

Re: Search and delete duplicate Events?
You can see a full list of each persons's facts by expanding their record in the Records window, or by looking at the All tab of their Property box. However if you want a less cramped layout you could use a custom query. Try this one: All facts for selected individual.fhq Download and double-click t...

Re: Handwritten GRO entry - Confusion
I agree with Mark. I have found both those entries on Findmypast and looked at the images of the pages. On the GRO’s own site the 1930 entry doesn’t show up in the search (probably because it's only a cross reference to the 1959 entry), and births from 1935 to 1983 can’t be searched. However as you ...

You are not doing anything wrong. It is shown as a census because AS uses the census fact type. You can change the display in the facts tab by using Tools > Fact Types > Census > Edit > Advanced and in the Summary Template field enter {=TextIf(GetDisplayText(%FACT.DATE%,min) = "29 September 193...

A minor comment on one of your points in the ‘Problem’ section. You said Media Property Box > Links tab added in FH V7? This only works for Media records but does not identify specific field(s) …. I think that tab has probably been there since long before V7 (but can’t be sure). Anyway it contains t...

Re: Better ways to find where records are used
One feature that has not been mentioned, and I overlooked in my OP, is Named Lists . Should a Where Used comprehensive Result Set include members of Named Lists and their Notes ? Yes, that's a good idea. Currently the only way to discover if a record is in any Named Lists is to use the IsInList fun...

Re: Why has my information gone public?
If you do a direct search on Findmypast or MyHeritage you need to enter your search parameters (name, dates etc). These are not retained by FMP or MH. When you search via FH it sends the search parameters for you, but again they are not retained. When you look at the results of the FH hints you are ...

Another approach is to use File > Import/Export > Export > Gedcom file. In either case you need to start by adding all the required people to a Named List. You can do this by creating the All Relatives plus Indirect Relatives diagram and make sure it is shrunk to fit entirely within the diagram wind...
