Videos

Various members of FHUG, and others, and of course Calico Pie, have produced videos about Family Historian and how they use it. Filter by topic, or browse. Click on a video to open it in a lightbox, or click on a title to go to the relevant Knowledge Base article, where you’ll often find supporting detail.  Some videos were made with older versions of ƒh so the interface may look a little different, but the techniques demonstrated are still applicable in newer versions. You’ll also find some duplication, because different people approach a topic in different ways.
