Re: New PC
Yes I knew it was off topic but as I said, hoping for some experienced guidance. Apologises.
Any chance for an 'Off Topic/IT' category in the future?

New PC
I am considering replacing my PC (a laptop) and I am planning what I have got ahead of me. I realise this is not an FH specific problem but hope that the some FHUG members may have trod this path before and could have some good advice. Some details: Windows 10 to 11. The majority of my data is on On...

Re: Document of the History of a Place
Thanks.
I will leave it linked to the Place for the time being, perhaps precis it later when I have some spare time.

Re: Document of the History of a Place
Thanks both,
The Document in question is a 24 page Word doc', would Place Local Note still be suitable?

Re: Document of the History of a Place
Thanks Mike.
I looked around and found that I could link the document to the Place, so for the moment I have done that.
Not sure what impact that will have on the reports and where it will become visible though.

Document of the History of a Place
I have a been given a document which describes the 15/16th century history of a place my ancestors lived in, although they are not mentioned in the document. What are the options for saving this? I could link it to all relatives known to have lived there but if add new individuals I would then have ...

Shared Images
I am an occasional user of AS as most of my shared documents had already been linked to Individuals before I started to use it, but I have found it very efficient since. I was wondering if there was a possibility of extending its features by being able to link an Image, with its associated text, to ...

Re: Check For Possible Duplicate Media (FH7) plugin - first prototype
Ran 2.2 against my data and it found one 'Records Differ', nothing else.
Inspecting the result it was exactly the same image but with two file names linked to two individuals.
However, both individuals are on the image and correctly linked to their FH records.
So a false positive, interesting.

Re: Finding the County for a list of Towns
Thanks Tim et al,
I have downloaded Gazetteer csv file and had a quick look at its content, looks like just what I was searching for.
Thanks again. I will try my hand at writing some Excel functions to extract the County for each of my Towns.
Should keep me busy until 2024 !

Re: Finding the County for a list of Towns
Thanks both. Yes, I had considered those points but thought that I could deal with exceptions manually, as it would be, hopefully, a much shorter list. There are dates in the rows which would make it possible to choose the right County list if, there were documented changes over time, but adding tha...

Finding the County for a list of Towns
I have an Excel research spreadsheet which is 15000 lines long and has a column that lists the Town associated with that individual. I want to process them to also have the County in the adjacent column so I can calculate the number of lines (individuals) that were recorded in that County. Is there ...

Re: Check for possible duplicated Media 1.4
Thanks for the explanation Mike. I think I was confusing Media Title and Media File Name.
Thanks also for the offer of more help
I will start investigating !

Re: Check for possible duplicated Media 1.4
It ran without error and reported my large avi which presumably tripped up the earlier version. As I want to proceed with caution I tend to always choose Do Not Merge , then I can inspect the result set and decide an action line by line. Perhaps my particular issue but the majority of what it finds ...

Check for possible duplicated Media 1.4
Ran this today and it came up with an error.
Unsure if it is relevant but this is the first time I have run it since putting the FH folder on to OneDrive.
