What i do though is also maintain seperate files for my 'work in progress' investigations normally split by family name at the start of the line. When i am then happy i have the formatting, and sources ...

Thanks Simon,

Hi Tombaston,   I have not done any moves on the diagram, i use the daigrams as working tools rather than using all the layout options to move items around.   I did try doing the move like you show, but i can't pull child1 back to the right.   Attached are screen shots of my diagram settings, which ...

Hi All,   I have just noticed some strange spacing occuring on all the different standard diagrams, which i can't seem to fix, does anybody have any ideas ?   Bascially, what seems to be happening is the child1 (and family if one exists) always seems to shift left to line up with the edge of child2'...

If you look at the decsriptions on the Ancestry site you will see that they have the Partial FreeBMD index from 1837 up to 1983 (it's probably transcribed up to about 1915 ish), aft...

Date Format - U.S. Customary

Have you looked at what the format is in the file actually exported from Family Treemaker ? (I assume it exports as a GEDCOM so you should be able to look at the file with a text editor). I wonder if it is exporting them wrong rather than FH doing anything wrong as you say all newly entered dates wo...

The easist way is to have 'sidney' showing on a diagram. Select his box, and holding down the left mouse button drag up from the box (you should see a dotted line for a box as you do this). When you let go of the mouse button, you will get a pop-up memu, on which one option is to link to an existing...

When did paper certificates start?

The oldest i have is a birth certifcate from Nov 1892. On the back it has a note saying that it 'is to be given on demand to the INFORMANT at the time of registering the Birth on payment of a fee not exceeding Three pence'.

Hi, if its the report that i loaded a fair while ago, then you can't do anything more with it than any other report. It just uses the standard FH functionality under the pictures tab on the report options to control how many pictures and what size they are. I'm afraid that there are not any options ...
