Re: Show Project Stats

Hi Mike,
I have run 2.3.1 with no problems. (Also run on 2.3 yesterday)
Is it possible to have the reported errors count repeated on the options page. I had to keep switching tabs to find which options affected the count

Re: My Focus Window shows a repeat of a family.

If you look at the family records, you will find that you Have the couple listed twice.
You will need to merge the two family records

Re: FH shutting down while debugging

Check that you have no Windows updates pending.
I have quite often found that Windows can stop things working properly when an update is pending.

Re: Uninstall Version 7 and revert to Version 6

I have continued to work with FH7 almost exactly the way I did with FH6. I am not touching templated sources. So it may be worth persevering

Re: Plugin Store

I am getting the same problem. After getting in with recaptcha I ran the check installed plugins against the store plugin.
Every Plugin I have has an update (Even the ones not in the store) and error on download every time.

Re: FH7

There IS a discount for users of FH6 who bought an upgrade version (I got a discount). On the purchase page you put in your existing license name and number and the system works out what discount (If any) you are entitled to.

This happens if you have no marriage date or details entered for the Widow. AS doesn't know that she has been married.

Re: set flag based on fact

You don't need to add the flag at all. Because you are adding a fact about the disease, the diagram options can be set to test for the existence of the fact itself, and set the background colour accordingly (Or add an Icon). In the boxes section of Diagram Options select add condition add an express...

Re: Introducing myself and a little (or maybe big) question

When I said FreeBMD mimics Ancestry (Maybe should be other way around), I was referring to the naming convention of the Index with years (And the split at 1915-1916), not the actual content.

Re: Introducing myself and a little (or maybe big) question

On Ancestry, the births are still shown in two catalogues with different date ranges(1837-1915) (1916-2007), FreeBMD mimics Ancestry, whereas on FMP they are both under the one catalogue(1837-2006). I use all 5 births as separate (Lumped) sources to show where I got the info from although I do now p...

Re: 1911 census reference Conundrum

Looking at the front page for the Queens Promenade addresses, the Piece Number should be 34674.

What is odd is that the references are incorrect (i.e. the same) on both ancestry and FMP

It is images that I am looking at.
By looking at the cover it appears that both FMP and Ancestry have the piece number incorrect for the Queens Promenade address (Thomas Arthur Corlett). It should be PN 34674

Re: Create Records Using AS v5.2

AS does not hold any data. It is just a "Front end" that edits the same Gedcom file as FH directly. This sounds like you are adding to a different copy of your Project/Gedcom file. If you use the Ancestral Sources Data Entry plugin whilst in your project, this ensures that your data will b...
