Re: Plugins: Generations Pre-Load Source Clean & Generations Post Edit
They were attached to a FHUG Forum posting around 2014 that no longer exists. However, a Google search has found them in https://github.com/jane-t/plugins which belongs to Jane Taubman who is the FHUG Forum admin. So either download the scripts into a Plugin file or ask in the FHUG Forum and Jane might be able to help.

Plugins: Generations Pre-Load Source Clean & Generations Post Edit
dave@...
I'm looking at the possibility of having to import an old Generations gedcom into FH V6.
Reading the guidance, it lists a number of plugins that may be useful. Unfortunately I can't find the two listed above. Can anyone point me in the direction of copies please? Many thanks Dave

Re: Location for a death in WW1
Graham Kent
John,
I had the same issue, but resolved it when I found the Wikipedia article about the Battle - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Jutland. That page records the location as "North Sea, near Denmark", but it also provides an Easting-Northing that can be copied into FH7 (it automatically converts to your display method once entered). Hope this helps

Re: Sending a tree as a file
Graham Kent
Hi Roger,
I sent an 'All Relatives' diagram of one of my cousins to her yesterday. It contained 950 people and was over 8.5Mbs in size. I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email program, and it recommended sending the file as a link using Dropbox. I clicked "Yes" and it sent the email a minute later. There was a second attachment (another diagram) but as that was less than 5Mb, that was included in the email as an attachment. Hope this helps.

Re: Location for a death in WW1
Adrian Bruce
I think it depends on what reports and charts you want to see. If you're just going to produce basic, tabular reports (as distinct from narratives) then I'd suggest a place name of "Battle of Jutland, North Sea" and an address of "HMS Chester". That would allow you to gather all deaths from that battle because they'll all have the same place name. (Which might not be that useful of course!) Not sure why David W adds Denmark to the place name unless it was in Danish territorial waters at the time? If you want to run off a narrative report, the prepositions are all wrong, so maybe keep the values that I suggest but alter that single narrative sentence to replace (or suppress?) the "at" by "on board". Really, the decision about whether to put the ship into the place name or the address is just a personal preference when you only have one or two.

Re: Source Records
Thank you Trevor, but as has been commented many times before, your method is somewhat unconventional and for a new user could be confusing if you don’t say so.

My method is to download images of original sources such as census and parish registers. I link these images to the people concerned. My only FH Sources are the census years as required by Ancestral Sources. The images are my sources. I do not transcribe them apart from names dates ages and places.

Re: Source Records

You will probably want to create more detailed titles than that or you will end up with a lot of courses with the same name 😊
Yes, you can link a Source record to a Media record that points in turn to a scanned image.
Have a look at this KnowledgeBase article https://fhug.org.uk/kb/kb-article/sources-and-citations-in-version-7-for-new-users/

As a relatively new user I am not clear on how to record source material. It appears (to my dumb mind!) that I should just type in the source of my record e.g. 'Birth certificate' or '1911 census record'. I had hoped that I might be able to link to a scanned copy of such a record or even have a link. Please advise. NB I have just upgraded from V6 to V7

Re: Sending a tree as a file
In case you don't know how to create the PDF Trevor has mentioned: use Diagram>Save Diagram As>PDF file. Make sure the option is selected to "Adjust PDF File Page Size so that the Diagram fits into One Page (if possible)". By default the PDF will be saved in the Public folder of your project. As it's a large diagram you will need to use the zoom controls in your PDF reader to make the text readable, then scroll to view different areas.

If the diagram exceeds the maximum dimensions for the FH PDF creator, there is advice about how to adjust the diagram scaling in this article in the FHUG Knowledge Base: https://fhug.org.uk/kb/kb-article/single-pdf-page-of-a-diagram/ Lorna

Is there some/any way I can send a family tree diagram running into 1000+ individuals by file transfer?, I already send narrative reports.

Re: tree
Hello, Family Historian 3 is now very out of date but if you have it
installed on your computer it should still work. Why are you
unable to access it? If you purchase and install V7 on the same computer your data
will be preserved, but as a precaution you should make a full
backup of your V3 Gedcom file and any linked media files first.
(You should always keep backups anyway, in case of computer
failure). There have been very many changes since version 3 so it
will be a steep learning curve.

Re: New user place/address advice
Adrian Bruce
Michael - I would agree with your understandings for your Chicago examples.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
However, for my stuff, I have expanded the town-city element into two to allow the use of suburb / town-city. For example instead of "Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States" I'd have (fictitious example) "Downtown, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States" if I used the suburb or ", Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States" if I didn't have a suburb and wanted to keep to a consistent number of "columns". As for Wales, well, England, Wales & Scotland follow pretty much the same pattern except that it's town-city / county / country, thus: "Holy Trinity, Mostyn St., Llandudno, Caernarfonshire, Wales" if you put the 2 parts of address into Place (this doesn't have a suburb element). Or, if you split: "Holy Trinity, Mostyn St." for the address and "Llandudno, Caernarfonshire, Wales" for the place (still with no suburb) Obviously you can map the Welsh town-city / county / country onto the US town-city / county / State / country by using an empty column, e.g. "Llandudno, , Caernarfonshire, Wales" would be 4 columns lining up to "Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States" (Whether you map the Welsh county onto the American county or the American State is up to you but our county is usually the level below the country so I'd map it onto the State. But that's me...) Also with Wales, you have to decide whether to use the Welsh spellings throughout history or use the contemporary spelling - usually English - for the earlier events, which would give: "Llandudno, , Carnarvonshire, Wales" in the 4 column form. Ireland is different..... Oh so different.... Hope that helps, Adrian

Re: New user place/address advice
Hi Michael, There is much current discussion in the FHUG Forum for ‘Importing and Exporting’ regarding RM. e.g. ‘Rootsmagic->Family Historian’ ‘error in import from Rootsmagic’ ‘FH -> RootsMagic -> Ancestry (Work-in-Progress)’ ‘Exporting to Roots Magic 7’ ‘Import RootsMagic 7 into Family Historian 7’
There are also many RM migrants who are active in the Forums I suggest you post your question there: https://fhug.org.uk/forum/ Did you know that the Place Lat/Longitude can accompany RM data imported to FH?

Looking for advice. New user with FH … coming from Rootsmagic. Place and address setup (columns). I haven’t decided on how to use each. I am going through examples in my tree and see how they work with FH.
St. Michael Church, 8237 South Shore Drive, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States.
Place: Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States Address: St. Michael Church, 8237 South Shore Drive
,1234 Water St., Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States Do I have a correct understanding?
How many columns in place and address if I split the location?
