Conditional Text for Witnesses

I was hoping to use {=TextIf(%FACT._SHAR[1]>SEX%= "Male", "wife", "husband")} in the following witness sentence: '...to visit {him/her} and {his/her} {=TextIf(%FACT._SHAR[1]>SEX%= "Male","wife","husband")}' where the Witness was the person ...

Re: Use of {place2} code in a Custom Fact

Please accept my apologies for not perusing and reading forum posts and the Knowledge Base more thoroughly before posting my question. I can understand your exasperation! In particular I found the article on Entering Standard and Custom Fields for Facts very useful. Before I read it I didn't even re...

Use of {place2} code in a Custom Fact

The Emigration Fact which is a Standard Event uses the code {place2}. The sentence code is: <para>{date} {individual} emigrated <from {_place}> <to {_place2}> {age} <with {other=emigrant}> {note}. and there is an additional data entry field labeled 'To:' in the lower half of the Facts tab. It works ...

Re: Formatting of ‘Text From Source’ in Narrative Reports (and website)

I knew I would need some extra help! As suggested I voted for Wish List Ref 20 and was able to resolved the problem I was having with tabulating multiline text using the suggested link to the Knowledge Base. However, I was not able to insert a blank line into the existing Text From Source fields. I ...

Many thanks for your reply. As usual it is full of useful information (you have replied to my queries before). I have looked at all the links which you provided and there is a lot to think about. I will certainly be working my way them in the coming weeks and may need to come back to you.

Formatting of ‘Text From Source’ in Narrative Reports (and website)

Sometimes it is necessary to show the text from sources in a tabular form. Examples are census returns, the 1939 Register, and birth, marriage & death certificates. When entering tabular type data in Family Historian I use tabs to get the data to line up in columns. I have attached a screen clip...

Re: Use of {place_2} in Facts other than Emigration and Immigration

Hi Jane and Tatewise Many thank for your help. I had not appreciated that {place_2} was not a standard GEDCOM tag and therefore the addition of {address_2} was extremely unlikely. I will certainly try what you suggested – it will be a leaning experience as I have never used Custom Fact Fields. In th...

Use of {place_2} in Facts other than Emigration and Immigration

As I understand it the use of the code {place_2} is restricted to the facts Emigration and Immigration. Also, there is no {address_2} which would be useful. Most of my and my wife’s ancestors moved around within this country and usually I can determine where they were on a certain date and where the...

First Names in Witness Sentences

Is there a way to confine the names of multiple witnesses to first names? For example under the Census (family) Event I have generated a Witness Role - Census (living with parents) - which I use to list all the children recorded in a census return. I then use the Witness Sentence: {individual} was r...

Re: Suggestion: how to port TMG's split memo's to FH

I too have migrated from TMG where I found the use of witnesses and split fields extremely useful. The primary reason for my migration is that TMG is no longer supported. However, I am having real problems with programming sentence structures in FH and so I was very interested in your post. Although...
