Family Historian User Group

In the past Forum Members have been invited to be Beta testers.
I have been a Beta tester for the last two versions.

I have been using Dropbox for several years to store My FH projects without any problems. and definitely did not have to export/import credentials in order to open a file. As Mike Tate stated, the credentials are only so that your FMP etc hints are synchronised between the two computers. The path in...

Easiest way is to use the "Change any Fact Tag" Plugin. You still have to do each fact type individually (Ie education to Education) but it will do most of the legwork for you. It is a very powerful plugin, so it may be worth experimenting with the sample project first. Also remember that ...

This sounds like a permissions issue. You do not have rights to edit create in that folder.

Thanks Mike, that does exactly what I wanted

Hope you and yours have a Happy Christmas.

I have line in my diagram text scheme to show the relationship pool number.
Is there a way to make this conditional, so that the line only shows if it is NOT pool 1
TIA
John

If you Right Click on any column heading in the records window and choose "Configure Columns", you can choose/change the default sort order for any column (As well as being able to add extra columns)

You can also have a problem with FMP if you record BMD events with Quarter Dates. FMP ignores them completely.
e.g. if you have an individua; bn Q1 1872, then the FMP hint will show DOB Unknown.
I reported this to Calico Pie over a year ago.

Thanks Jane, that seems to be fixed now.

Is it just me? Recently, possibly since last windows or Chrome update, posts are not being marked as read. Normally, I will read a post (And I read them all), then go to top, then click on "Home", and the post I have just read has been marked as read. This is no longer happening. To get th...

Use a row filter to
Add if....
%INDI.BURI[1].PLAC%
Contains
and tick the Parameter box

Give the Parameter a suitable label i.e. Burial Place

The when you run it, put in the name you want (Rookwood) and Bingo

If you open your preferred custom diagram on an individual, then choose the menu option Diagram>Settings> save as default settings.
Your diagram style will then be used in all projects.
At any point you can choose to revert to installation settings.

Don't panic, I moved from Generations to FH3 many years ago, and thought that I had lost a lot of my data, but it was just in hard to find places (UDF). With FH6 and plugins, the move will be much easier, but you will need to get your head around what will seem to be strange terminology. You may sti...

Chrome is also blocking me, saying the sites security certificate has expired.

That worked fine for me Jane.

With AS and census entries, if you have recorded a marriage event for a couple, then even with the woman on her her own, the auto text will show her MARRIED name.
If you have not recorded a marriage event, the the husband needs to be present for the autotext to show the married name

Now that is A plugin I would like to use

I have names such as
Callister/Collister
Faragher/Fargher/Faraker
Cowell/Cowle
Cain/Caine
Karran/Carran
Comaish/Comish

So I would find it very useful

I was just wondering if that was the behaviour that Nigel was also getting. If FH was running full screen he wouldn't be seeing the pop-up?

Mike, I have just tried the latest version 1.9.2.
The pop-up window to reset the grid does appear, but behind FH, so it is not visible. I had FH running on half of my laptop screen, so half of the pop-up window was visible.

Hi Mike,
I too noticed the speed when using the add relatives method.
Just a point about the Isle of Man on Familysearch. The Isle of Man is treated as a country in it's own right, probably because a lot of higher ups in LDS have Manx roots.

I Got an Error Mike [string "C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\..."]:4557: invalid order function for sorting stack traceback: [C]: in function 'sort' [string "C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\..."]:4557: in function 'CensusMissing' [string "C:\ProgramData...

The last browser page always seems to be saved to C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Plugin Data on every computer I have. Yes adding Isle of Man would be excellent. I have England, Wales, Scotland and Isle of Man set up as different countries in AS. I would not add UK to the Isle of Man ent...

It was last web browser page I meant. I agree each search has it's own tab on chrome until you shut down or change computers. Is it possible to include Isle of Man in the UK searches? 30% of my individuals are from the Isle of Man, and about 5% of those have emigration events. The Manx can be found ...

Mike,
The plugin now does not seem to allow for the fact that as far as UK census is concerned, the Isle of Man is part of UK (If the use facts option is selected).

Also, would it be possible to have a button to retrieve the last search/results page. I know where to find it, but others may not.

I have just tested and get the same sort of results I already have UK census entries for 81,91 and 01, person emigrated from Liverpool to New York in 1909 UK census search only shows one son missing 1911 and 1939 (Although he was born USA in 1910) US census search shows missing in 1880 and 1900 (As ...
