You have my support too.

Re: How to generate a list of ALL names

This will return the first name - %INDI.NAME[1]% This will return the second name - %INDI.NAME[2]% and so on By first name I don't mean a persons given names, I mean [1] will find their usual name shown in the property box and [2] will find their first Alternate Name you have entered using the +More...

Re: Labelled Note Meta-Fields

Take a look at the =GetLabelledText function. It can be used in filter lines of a query to look inside notes and pick out the data stored meta fields. https://www.family-historian.co.uk/help/fh7/hh_start.htm#function_getlabelledtext.html It would search for a meta field called "Minister:" ...

Re: AS death and burial input screens.. edit?

You could create custom facts within FH for each of the data items you want to capture. You could also customise the property box to include your new facts in the Main tab or even in a new tab, perhaps creating a data entry form to mirror the death certificates you have. However I do not think it is...

Re: example queries for customising records tabs?

Perhaps the question is not about creating queries but saving and loading custom layouts as queries.

Re: Ancestral Sources v7.8.4 Beta Testing (November 2023)

It doesn't highlight when the cursor enters the box but does highlight when double clicked. Still fine by me as long as th...

Re: Research Notes Improvements

I didn’t start with FH until V6 then upgraded to V7. I previously held my research notes in Evernote but hoped to integrate my research planning into FH when I heard of the new facilities being introduced. I am still struggling to see how I can properly make it work and suspect most users previous t...

The process of actually creating a Research Note is rather convoluted requiring 5 mouse clicks: Add Note > Shared Resear...

Re: Ancestral Sources v7.8.3 Beta Testing (November 2023)

Nick Another observation about v7.8.3 The Find ID: field in the top RH corner is being cleared after each save. (It was retained in v7.8.2). I found it useful when the last used ID was retained. If working on a family with close ID numbers it would only need a quick edit to find the next person in m...

I agree it can be difficult.

The key is to find the name of their ship, often shown on military records or the CWGC website.

Why not go one stage further and actually map the location of those who died at sea. I have several individuals on record who died at sea in the Royal navy or Merchant Navy.

I don't think it is possible but you can show the relationship in the Caption field above the Property Box with something like this

%INDI% - =Relationship(FileRoot())
