James, you can post screenshots here if you’d rather keep the conversation in one place.

Sorry, I meant to reply to Chris. There are too many postings this morning!

Not sure I have resolved the problem. The project window now shows my project and the sample project but they appear to be gedcoms with the name of my project with the gedcom triangular sign at the

Miriam, I suggest you try Bill’s layout with both the yellow Source Citation windows floating outside the main FH window on the right. Your screenshot shows that you have not yet adopted that

It's actually Chris who has the donor father, but thanks for the info re diagrams. It's not a situation I've ever tackled. I'm always pleasantly surprised by the versatility of FH. Jenny

Jenny, You need to use some of the less well-known features of Diagrams to display multiple parents. By default Diagrams only display the first set of parents regardless of whether they are

Regarding keeping the Source Citation windows (and any other windows) open from FH session to session see the FHUG Wish List. That has a request for such a feature that if you sign-in to FHUG you can

Thank you Mike. I now have my project back. Lesson learnt!! I had moved the sample project out of the FH project folder but moving it back solved that problem. James

First - many thanks to BillH for his instructions as they were brilliant. Mike - I have got the "Source Citations" box with the info that i want it to contain but i can't make it small enough to fit

Wow, must have been a shock but I'm sure it's more common than you think! In terms of mapping your family, this is my suggestion. It's not very elegant, but I reckon it works. Might be worth putting

Hi all - So, a week ago as part of starting my family tree I learned I was donor conceived, at the ripe old age of 31. Bit of a shock to the system, but the positive is I have even more family to map

Debbie, No. When opening Family Historian it isn't open until I select a field that does have a citation. What I do is click on the field and then click on the yellow scroll

Thanks Bill. That’s worked nicely. Have you found a way to keep the source box permanently open rather than having to click on it every time you start work? Debbie

James, What worries me is you say you “moved some fh folders to a different location”. If you have not moved them all together then it may not be possible to get FH to see your Projects at

Debbie, In Preferences select Property Box and half way down is "Preferred Position for Citation List Pane". Set those options to "Open in New Window". The

Stupidly I reorganised my files and moved some fh folders to a different location. Not surprisingly there are are now no projects showing in the Project window. I have FH7. Please advise the best

Bill I like the look of your layout. How did you manage to get “Sources for…” box to be a floating window? Debbie

If you look at this post on the FHUG forum, you can see what I did to make it look more like it did in FH 6. This may work for you. If you scroll down in the forum post you will see a

Hi Min, You are not the first to have that problem when switching from FH v6 to FH v7. However, once you get used to the new technique most find it better than in FH v6. As you say, the initial

In the previous version of FH, the "Citation Box" on the right side of the property box was made up of two parts. By clicking once on one of the sources I had used for a fact, I could see other
