You can link media to any Source that is linked to the Note Record, but not to the Note Record itself.

Have you already seen Knowledge Base > Creating a Query?

The Preferences dialogue for the Focus Window (accessible via Customize View… ) has Max. Ancestor Generations (space permitting): but if you try to enter a value greater than 5 an error box tells you to “Enter an integer between 2 and 5.” Earlier versions of FH did not have the Focus Window, and man...

It may not be PC on this forum, but I dont want my source images or family photos located within fh as no one else in the family owns fh software.

Storing images and family photos in folders within the FH Media folder would not prevent access by a user without FH software.

There is some information here: Knowledge Base > Recording Grandchildren

I don't know whether this will help, but like Jane, I too am a " Lumper " for GRO Indexes (and similar) with one Source record in FH for each Index. And I too am a " Splitter " for certificates and censuses, with one Source record in FH for each Certificate and for each Census Household, and with an...

There is some help in Knowledge Base > Photo Orientation.

I was able to load the file OK; it took several minutes and generated a massive exception report, but no error messages. FH Focus Window at bottom right has: Individuals: 879234 Families: 305277. My 9-year-old laptop has 6 GB RAM and I recently upgraded (free) from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

There are also left and right arrow-heads beside the Page no. at top right, which may be more useful than the right-hand scroll-bar.

If you click on the button with four arrows, labelled Enable Moving/Resizing, the Movement Control Box will appear.

If you want everything in an FH GEDCOM file to be available for Import to something else, you don't need to do an Export at all. Just Import the FH GEDCOM file.

What you have observed is FH's compliance with the GEDCOM standard.

Yes, of course, Mike. As you know, it was 99% Jane's original Clean Living People. Probably best if you do the necessary tidying up.

I (still on Windows 7) also have a problem with UTF-8 so I cannot see how “this will be correctly processed by this programme” can be true.

From fhugdownloads:contents:res_privata_-_gedcom_privatisation|From Knowledge Base > Utility ~ Res Privata - Gedcom Privatisation :— This programme will not process Family Historian V6 native gedcom files as they are utf-16. Use the Export Gedcom File plugin to make a utf-8 gedcom file, this will be...

My simple Plugin, in the store, Address Summary Report does something similar, so it might provide a few ideas.

Have you thought of using Named Lists? You could have a Named List for each of your Groups, and add relevant records to it; the records in a Named List can be a mixture of Individual, Family, Note, Source, etc. One advantage of this approach is that any record can be in more than one Named List.

Well done! It all seems fine to me now (using Chrome).

If you are using a Fact Query you will need the following formula for the RecordId of the Fact's Owner.

I found that I could navigate that over-long string of black boxes, but only by using the keyboard down and right arrow keys. I think I counted 32 items, which suggests the need for a more hierarchical menu structure.

The first item on the Tools menu is How Related…. First you need to select any two individuals in the Records window. Keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+R.

A possible solution requires two queries. First run a Fact query, for all facts, with the Fact-Owner (e.g. =GetRecord() ) as the only column, and select all rows in the result set and Add Selected Cell Records to Named List… . Then use an Individual query with row conditions to Add Unless… in this N...

Top , Bottom , Left Edge , and Right Edge all work as they should in my Excel 2010 (Version 14.0.7224.5000 32-bit) on Windows 7 , but not in FH . However, Scroll Here does work in FH , which provides a sort of workaround if you right-click near the top/bottom/left/right edge of the light grey scrol...

There is a small link top-left for "Switch Sound". I had to open it in a new tab to start the sound.
