Family Historian User Group

Thanks Mark. I have downloaded and am testing V 2.3.1
I can confirm that it lets me know if there is a duplicate UID (which occurred due to a merge).
I like the extra detail in the Research Note.
Chris

Thanks Mark! Yes, I foolishly didn't think about the consequences of merging 2 files, which meant people might end up with 2 UIDs, BEFORE I did it! :oops: (Although, I do have a backup of the 'before' state). Luckily, this particular Family Historian database is reasonably small, so it's a lesson le...

Thanks John - I'll give it a go. I was wondering about the SQLITE tool.

Chris

Thanks Mark. I think I'll be making a backup prior to doing anything. I have made a query to see the double-ups, but I'm wondering whether it would be UID1 or UID2 that matches up with the individual in RootsMagic. I wouldn't want to delete the wrong one. I guess I should have mentioned that I have ...

I am using Ancestry Synchronization plugin V2.3 & FH 7.0.22. I have had to merge 2 files, and now find that, for a few hundred individuals, there are 2 UIDs. When I look in RootsMagic I cannot find any evidence of these, and am wondering if there is going to be an issue or not when I run the Anc...

Thanks for both the question and the reply. It was annoying me too, and I've found 'Awesome Cookie Manager' for Chrome which seems to work very well.
Chris

Thanks Helen! Worked perfectly.
Cheers

Mike - not sure if this is related (if not please feel free to move to a different topic). You reminded someone to run the 'Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings' and I thought that since I hadn't done it in a while, I'd do so. I get the following error message Screenshot 2022-02-27 074421.jp...

Here's the response: Thank you for reporting this. The fact that some buttons do not display when there is little space, is not a mistake. It is by design. Everything that you can do with the buttons on the Report Window pane, you can do by clicking options on the "Report" menu (except Pri...

I registered a Support Ticket, but I have discovered something interesting (when preparing information for another issue I was going to raise). I had changed the size of the text on the Property Box to Very Large (when sharing my screen during a training session). Once this was changed back to Mediu...

I have not created a bug report. But I will go and do so now.

I also have this issue, but only when Family Historian is on my laptop screen. As I have 2 other screens attached, I drag it up and can then have access to the buttons. But, there is no scroll down to see them, and this has definitely happened on one of the recent updates (but I don't know which one...

Well said Nick. I was trying to formulate a reply, and you have covered all the points I was planning and more! I agree that the user created plugins are definitely a positive rather than a negative. One of the reasons is that I have complete control over which ones are installed or not, rather than...

Thanks Mike! I see your point. I would also like to give you a big shout-out! You are soooo patient with all of us...explaining the same things over and over as new members join, and pointing people to previous posts and discussions of topics (I personally always 'try' to search for a topic before I...

Thanks Nick! That makes sense, and is certainly the new direction I was heading towards. I guess this is why, up until now, I have not been able to get my head around 'Ancestral Sources' at all! :D I 'did' try when I first came to FH, but it just did my head in as it was such a different approach to...

Maybe I'm going to have a major re-think about how I manage all of this too. I have always added the media to the fact (for the 20 years I've been using genealogy programs that could do it), and it was the move from TMG to FH which has started me thinking about looking at it differently (due to the ...

Thanks Peter for asking this question. I also had no idea about 'Pools' and have now learnt about an extra tool to assist me in maintaining my data.
Cheers
Chris

I use almost the same solution.

Hi Nigel! Nice to see someone else using Family Historian with GEDSITE. I don't seem to have any issues with this, and for any facts I have included which have info in the Note field they have just come through to my website. It doesn't appear that it has to be included in the sentence at all. (Unle...

Thanks for this thread. I have learnt at least 2 new things for the day. I'm not sure that I had ever run the Plugin before (although I have it installed), and if I did I had no idea of the potential of being able to double-click or right-click and locate from the 'Result Set' in Query. I was also p...

I have also been having trouble with the MyHeritage hints. Some of the older ones are still there, but it just doesn't seem to be scanning for new matches.
This screenshot was taken right now Chris

I am taking a completely different approach to identify in Family Historian (1) which people have taken a DNA test (2) marking the paths of proven DNA matches back to the common ancestors. (1) I have a flag "DNA" which in diagrams switches on a DNA helix logo beneath the boxes of people t...

Thanks Helen! Neat...so it creates a flag to manage that.
Cheers
Chris

I know that you can keep information private by using [[ ]], but how can I keep 'some' photos private? I definitely don't want all to be private, but there are a few which I want to keep in my database, but not have print on any reports, be part of any webpage or export. (I have searched and searche...

Thanks Mike. I am even considering making a training video on the Merge , as I am running a small Family Historian User Group here in Rockhampton and no doubt someone else will do it at some point. I'll let you know on the progress. Yes, you are correct I have created an upgrade disk and attempted t...
