Any children you have will be directly related toyour husbands ancestors. Do you want to deny them from knowing who they are?

If you thypr an address on the search browser youmay find t will come up at the address you are looking for. Just bear in mind many old addresses have disappeared over the years

I get notifications by email like everyone else but I never press the link. I goto my browser where I have a FHUG tab and open that tab. it lists all the notifications I have to read. I then start reading them

Once you have done a Project back up and if you had some previous back ups do delete the old ones you don't need as they take up space on your hard drive.

My great grandmother had an illegitimate child (my grandfather) he was baptised with his mother's maiden name. On my tree I left his father's name out. That is is mother is the only name listed and the normal spuses name is blank. His mother later married Charles Markham and they had children. This ...

If you ever back up FH Projects on your PC do delete the old versions otherwise your hard drive will soon be full.
Backing up does not automatically replace the previous back ups

Forget what I said about FH files. I only mention that under that as particular subject. FH is just one folder. I have a whole list of other bolders under different subjects and these are divided into sub folders, similar to what i have done in my FH folder. By doing this I know where things are and...

Maybe I misunderstood the topic. One asked how they organise files and I was simply stating how I organie files and made special pointes when it came to FH Project. When it comes to surnames I have one file for each surname so I know where the details are. Thatis details of the person I have added t...

This is what I have done for my family files. Under Family Historian Projects folder I have a sub folder called Family Information Under this sub folder I have separate folders with the surnames of those on my family tree, not only their surnames but also certificates with sub folders for Births, Ba...

As far as the UK is concerned always add the county. There are similar named places in different counties. Any places in Yorkshire one needs to add whether it is East, West of North Yorkshire, As an example there is Scalby in North Yorkshire (it is north of Scarborough) there is also Scalby in East ...

I note the name in the box linked to the yellow box is Poulsen. You can put the name //(Poulsen) as the wife That will appear in the yellow box until you find the name. I do this all the time

If you save the file in RTF format you can open the file and save it in any format you choose. A drop down list appears for you to pick in Word.
Once you have done that you can edit it, which you can't do in PDF (depends on where you get this from).

Thanks for your replies on this. It has enlightened me on the past and I hope others too so we all have to bear in mind what to put on their FH details

I will ask the great grandson of the woman in question. He was the one who sent me details of her naturalisation application.

I am talking about an English woman who married a German in King's Lynn in 1885. Once she married him she became a German even though she never lived in Germany. They ran a business in Hull and are listed in all the appropriate census's When her husband died she applied for naturalisation in 1923. J...

Sorry my error I originally wrote naturalisation but then changed it. Just thought I would mention this to make others aware of such a marriage making the 'home' person the nationality of the immigrant. Come to think of it, if the wife was German she then have become English after marrying her Engli...

We all, well most of us do, know about nationalisation I learned something new a few days ago. In 1875 an English wife, born in King's Lynn, married a German, born in Hamburg, in England. They lived here and brought up a family. They are all listed in the census years. They never lived in Germany. W...

I agree with what has been said here. I have 77,000 on my tree!
Obviously not all directly related to me but it just takes One who is not marrying one who is then the rerlationship of that part changes.

I never thought of that. It could be an explanation.

Hope no one else was affected

Lorna I had moved them a week oir two ago and everything was fine. I was using FH a few days agao added a birth and death certificate without any problems. It was after thius that somehow all the media files entered the recycling bin. I have no idea how this happened as I hadn't deleted any files fr...

On this morning's BBC Rip of Britain it interviewed a chap who had a business and stored all his records on One Drive. One day he found they had all disappeared and he contacted Microsoft and asked them to see what happened. They hadn't a clue and after months searching couldn't find his One Drive d...

About my comment about the lady being charged £30 you need to understand that she wouldn't know anything about this hence accepted the charge. I have a message from my sister and she said she thinks the family moved to Hessle in 1940 so sorry folks I was wrong about the year they moved (it was befor...

This has been an nformative thread I will contact my sister tomorrow to ask her when the family moved to Hessle. I have discussed this Register on Facebook. One lady said she contacted FMP about her father as his name had been blanked out. She said she reported his death to FMP and they charged her ...

Thanks for your input Mike I do know what happened to my parents. Before the war they lived above a shop where my father was manager. He signed up for service and wanted to pass the manager's job to my mother so they could continue to live above the shop. This was rejected so the whole family had to...

Thanks Mike

My hard drive is getting full and I have FH in One Drive will have to check to see if it is on the hard drive

This is prompted by the 16298|Customize Property Box puzzle posting. I know we are talking about the Electoral Roll or Registry. Those of 1939 are really a National Registry listing people due to the war. The addresses shown are not very accurate. My parents are listed as living in Hull when they ha...
