The link to the Probate service is https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills If you find a probate that you want to order then you will need to create an account. The probate and will will be available in 10 working days for you to view and download. Once you have viewed the probate / will you hav...

You can do this and more in FTanalyzer which is a free download. It just reports on your Gedcom it doesn't change any data so it won't mess anything up.

You can always use the menu option Publish > Make CD/DVD and give that to them for their computer or use the Website creation option and put it online behind a login script.

It doesnt make sense to me at all Because illegitimate children of an known mother and unknown father do not necessarily have the same father. Does one add two different fathers or not? One's tree gets cluttered up with people called unknown unknown. I think in other software one can just leave a b...

Yes

All you do is select export a gedcom and choose the records to export and then fill the options in. If you want more options than available in the standard export then take a look at Mikes plugin.

The only problem is that Catalina, the next version of OSX, is in public beta which means its delivery to live is imminent and there has been no update from Codeweavers for 12 months.

Mervyn I think that you are mistaken Crossover v18.x is a 64bit app and OSX Mohave does not complain about it. It is FH inside Crossover that generates the warning. See https://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/general/?t=27;mhl=208277;msg=208277 and https://www.codeweavers.com/about/blogs/rabhiram...

The current Mac OS is complaining that FH is 32Bit and the new version which is dues in the next month or so will prevent it running at all. I just wanted to check that it was before asking Calico if there were any plans to make it 64bit. My Mac laptop is not meaty enough to run a VM unlike my deskt...

Can anyone tell me whether FH is a 32bit or 64bit app? I suspect 32bit.

The reason I ask is that the next version of Mac OSX will not allow 32bit apps to run. Crossover has been updated to 64bit so that isn't an issue but I suspect that FH may well be.

It is your choice which way you do it. However, the recommended way is all in one Family Historian Project. As you go further in your research you may well find that there are other marriages between the Vella family and the Cordina family and having it all in one project ensures that data is not du...

I resized the FH window to be very small, about 500 high expected to see the cut off behaviour which I didn't. The Multifact plugin input box opened at its default size, exactly the same as when I had my screen set to ~1600 high (I have a 5k screen). But instead of the input box overlaying the FH wi...

An interesting issue, BUT NOT SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT, with a PlayOnMac install the plugin opens in a separate window not in the FH window and it opens at the default size.

It was more about now being available on the iPhone and iPad where it wasn't before.

I found the 1911 census for one workhouse right at the end of the collection rather than in address order. IIRC this was for Chichester so it may be worth checking for yours there.

We had a long discussion earlier about To Do lists. I was today notified of the availability of the Microsoft to Do app in the iPhone app store as of today. I have also found that it is available in the Mac app store too. Presumably it is also available in the Windows store. Whilst not integrated wi...

Sorry you are incorrect see the attached screenshot.

I don't think anyone has mentioned YouTube yet. This is a good source of tutorials for some aspects of using Family Historian and Ancestral Sources. As well as reading the book it may well be worth watching some of these. This link takes you to some of them.

I noticed the same today after updating VirtualBox yesterday (I wonder if they are using the same base) I did, however, manage to do multi select with the mouse and the shift key.

6 out of 8 of mine have photos and only one of my wife's

Mine were easy Spencer, Copping, Lefever, Edwards, Bramble, Baverstock, Binstead, Cook. My wife's were more of a challenge as her father was Polish and her mother Swiss Sikora, ?, Czempik, ?, Spoker, ?, Brungger, Sulzer. Hopefully we will get some more from the Polish side in the not too distant fut...

I don’t add married name to women where I don’t have birth name, but maybe I should, as I have an awful lot of Mary, Ann, Elizabeth etc entries.....!

I add the married name in square brackets as the surname so I can easily see the context and replace it with the maiden name when / if I ever find it.

I am sorry but they don't there is no style code in those span tags. Try deleting them and see what displays then. See https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_span.asp particularly the bit under 'Style and Usage' #2. They need to have a style statement too. It is likely that your li element has the verti...

@dewilkinson Why all the empty span tags (or is this just poor coding in FH)? They make invalid html. They are intended to add styling to the links but no styling is applied. Rather than using those &nbsp you would be better off creating a CSS class of left padding and applying that to the eleme...

I am afraid that my schoolboy French from over 50 years ago is not helping with the full translation of these records. I can do a couple of bits but if anyone can help I would be very grateful. There are two images one of Charles Villeneau marrying Esther Sorre on Sunday 26th June? and the second of...

I use FreeFileSync to keep mine all in sync. It works well on both Windows and Mac and best of all it doesn't cost anything.
