Family Historian User Group

Congratulations Mike! And to all of the other experts that post regularly in here that are nowhere near the 20000 mark.

Actually the Census option mentioned is used by many users. We are all extremely grateful.

As digital storage is cheap, maybe best not to crop images such as this - to show the context of the whole page.

Thank you Jane so much for updating this plugin. It works well, and will save me and others a lot of time.

I leave my Unknown People blank. My Records Window is customised so that I can easily identify who they are.

Maybe someone with a Windows 10 Cloudbook could try installing FH6?

I am playing devil's advocate - exploring what might be possible. Just discussing - that's all. Regarding data in the cloud, I was thinking of Dropbox SmartSync where the data resides in the cloud and is only downloaded when needed. Agree that the data really needs to be on the device, so using a SD...

Thanks Mike. It should be possible to connect a decent sized screen. "At least 100Mb of hard disk space is required to store the program and accompanying files". So I would imagine that there should be enough room for FH and AS after the space that Windows 10 has occupied. The idea of Cloudbooks is ...

Has anyone tried to use Family Historian on a Windows 10 Cloudbook?

Create a Custom Diagram to preserve your expressions and icons customisations in case you need to restore them at some point.

Many thanks Lorna. Like you one of the first things I did in v7 was to select that option. Then when I went to find it again I skipped "Enable One-Click Diagram Display from Toolbar" because that title did not immediately ring a bell.

I have forgotten how to bypass the Select Diagram Root dialogue. In other words I like to select the root of a new diagram by selecting the individual in an existing diagram.

For over 18 years using FH, all of my Birth, Baptism, Marriage, Banns, Death, Burial and Census etc images are linked to the Individuals concerned. The images are my sources. Works fine and is simple and fast to implement. Icons in my diagrams denote which images I have and and have not found for ea...

My flags and icons are unaffected. But, Ancestral Sources v7 no longer supports flags. I only use AS for census entry. As a result I have changed all of my census flags to census expressions. That works fine, but in the case of the Canadian 1911 census etc I end up with two "11" icons. I have not fo...

I have tested it on a copy project. As expected, it does not work. But thanks anyway.

Thanks Helen. I see that this plugin was downloaded 39 times which suggests that there is a demand. Please Jane or another plugin expert, could this plugin be updated to FH7 and be made available by whatever means?

I was using this plugin in FH6 but it is not showing at all in the new Plugin Store. Jane, would you be able to update this useful plugin for FH7 please?

I would suggest using "Has Flag" in Queries. Fast and effective to display a list of people that have been assigned a particular flag.

Mike, It looks like your =ContainsText(%INDI.CENS[year=1911].PLAC%,"Canada") is picking up the "Canada" from "Calgary, Alberta, Canada" census place that Ancestral Sources creates alongside the date for that census "1 June 1911". I would like the expression to pick up the "Canada" from my Source Rec...

Thanks Mike. =ContainsText(%INDI.CENS[year=1911].PLAC%,"Canada") does work but as the %INDI.CENS[year=1911]% expression is already in place I end up with two "11" icons. To answer your question, I have not used any expressions until the last couple of days. This is the first time I have tried to use...

I am also Changing from Flags to Expressions for Diagram Icons.

%INDI.CENS[year=1911]% works just fine for my source and flag named "1911 Census".

What expression would I need for my source and flag named "1911 Canada Census" please?

I use the In Progress flag for any person that is not absolutely proven to belong to a tree. The In Progress flag box is customised to show a heavy dotted outline, and the men at work icon clearly indicates work in progress. Use the Has Flag query to create a table of people that are in progress.

I use Adblock Plus on Chrome, Firefox and Edge. And the Ghostery extension on Chrome.

That is great news. Thank you Nick. That additional option will save me and others many hours of linking manually.

In AS Options - Census Method 2 - Link images to entries, I would like to request an additional option for "Link to individuals" please. As in link the selected image to all of the individuals in the household. The reason is that I have been using FH since the launch in 2002. I have always preferred...
