Hi there
I have a long family tree which I want to view on my iPad but because of its size when I magnify it , it is too blurry to read. I have tried both JPEG and .png files converted from the gedcom file produced by fh but neither is detailed enough.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Jerry

Thanks all. I may go back to the drawing board!! J

Sorry once again I just don't get this merging two trees business. I checked all the info. during the merge including notes,photos etc etc which took some time and ended up with a tree covered in coloured lines again. There are no duplicates in the various tabs individuals , families etc and so I am...

Many thanks for your prompt response.

Hi there
I have a number of family historian trees which have various bits of different information in them - photos , people etc .
Is there any simple way of amalgamating them into one master tree with everything in it. If not how might I do it.

Dear Mike,
Many thanks for your help.
What I think I want to do is to consolidate the records window so that it has no duplicates and then go from there. I would prefer to do this rather than start again nomatter how long it takes!

Hi there,
I recently bought version 7 of FH as an upgrade for my desktop and have been enjoying it since. Due to lock down I now need to work on my laptop on the same family tree.
Is it possible to download the programme onto the laptop and sync it with the desktop; if so how?
Many thanks.
Jerry

Many thanks all . I will try both methods.

Is it possible to have two family trees open at the same time and view them side by side ?
Many thanks.

Ok many thanks for taking the time to help me .Very useful and kind.
Cheers

Great . I think I am getting there.
So if it says keep and there are entries in only one column do you do nothing?
If it says keep, null merge or add you have to match the two columns by cntrl /match.
Is that correct?
Basically you dont touch anything that says Merge
Sorry to be so thick!!

Ok thanks very much for that info but how do you check everything?

Hi there, Two things to resolve please!! I have V7 and have tried to merge two family trees which are basically the same family members but contain different information.
