I have done a video on Auto Source Citation on YouTube.

I have done this in the past using auto source citation. Create the source (the book in your case). I then turn on Auto Source Citation and then add the individuals and it assigns the source to their whole record as you create it so you need to be wary of adding additional facts to the individual th...

Are you using the internal browser or external browser? If you are using the internal one then it may be worth swapping to the external one.

See this article on the Knowledgebase https://fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=ho ... ta_matches

It is EXIF data not exe. There are tools available that can remove it however that is not necessary as FH ignores the EXIF data as per Mikes earlier reply. It seems from your comment that Rootsmagic does use the EXIF data. I also use a Canon scanner and just rotate the image after the scanner has sa...

You can alter the size of the images in reports to make things like census records readable. Just go into the report setting options

WARNING I upgraded to this version on Mojave (I have not updated to Catalina waiting for a working 64bit version of POM). V4.4 of POM does not work on Mojave, I don't know about Catalina. None of my Windows programs ran properly some crashed Wine, FH just put a Red X on the screen even Notepad and ...

@Mark The original topic that you posted on was asking for successful installations of FH on what versions of Linux. Your post was saying there were problems that you ran into installing on Ubuntu and was not contributing to the thread subject. It appeared that your post was a support request for ho...

Thanks for that, very helpful.

Could I ask if you have time to run your eye over the following article in the new KB and if you can suggest any changes / improvements. PM to me may be better than on here. https://fhug.org.uk/kb/kb-article/runni ... n-on-wine/

Thanks for the info that is very useful

That is possible but would not be a recommended way of working. On export and on reimport you may lose some data you may lose media links etc. If your relative can do the editing within 30 days he/she could use the free 30 day trial of FH to do the editing. Alternatively there are free genealogy pro...

I use the plain csv option for my exports into Excel without issue. I don't use Access any more but I seem to remember that there is an option to import a CSV file into a new database.

What exact problem are you having with your exports?

I am currently updating the new KB pages on running FH on Linux using Wine, Crossover and PlayOnLinux. Can anyone currently running FH using these emulators on Linux please let me know the flavours of Linux and version numbers that you are using? As many replies as possible please so I get a full pi...

I am with Mike and don't bother.

However, it would be easy to create it as a source in its own right and then attach it to the appropriate facts as well as the actual census page transcription.

There are a couple of programmes that I am aware of Gedcom Validator from Chronoplex FTAnalyzer available in the Windows store The first will need you to export your gedcom as a utf-8 version as it won't work with the utf-16 FH standard format. Doing this may fix your issue. The second programme wil...

One way is to do a medium backup. Email her the resulting zip file. All she then needs to do is restore from backup in FH and she will have all your information including images. One thing to be aware of is that you may be in breach of copyright/website T's & C's if you share images of records that ...

Have a look at item #2 on https://www.techrepublic.com/article/ho ... ial-steps/ You may well be able to get shot of it that way.

I think to move away from the default C for program installation is best avoided, especially in your situation, where the C is an SSD, and so generally better for speedy start up of programmes. Sorry I do not agree with this advice with only 110gb drive, if you have a lot of programmes you will soo...

If you do a search on YouTube there are a couple of videos on there.

For example

One way to do this is to create a source for the certificate and then turn on Automatic Source Citations with that new source as the input record and then add it to the Burial and Death facts. Otherwise you can select more than one fact in the facts dropdown list with click and ctrl / shift click on...

I do a surname study and have several hundred unconnected trees in one master FH project. It is easy to add an 'unconnected' individual just go to Add > Unrelated Individual and add the person then build their tree backwards and add to it in the normal way. When you get to the common ancestor you ju...

@Mike

No such luck unfortunately this is the result with 0.7
Whereas v0.8 still works fine.

@Colin ~ Have you tried closing and re-opening FH which might reset things?

Spot on @Mike that has fixed it now reports as E:\

Mike I have in fact set it to E:\ for the projects folder. I have other mapped folders on my Mac HDD for other Windows apps to access. It seems as though it is FH that is reporting the location \\VBOXSVR\Family_Historian_Projects as that is what is set in the Project Window. I have now set it to E:\...

Success

@Mike

My Mac folders are mapped drives so do have a Windows drive letter assigned. It seems as though your plugin seems to be ignoring the mapped letter and actually looking at share folder structure. Could you swap it to look at drive letters?
