A few months ago I decided to move the Family Historian Project files on my desktop PC (A Chillblast running Windows 10) to OneDrive so that I could also see and work on them on my laptop (Windows

I don't use one drive, but I suspect it's similar to Dropbox. Conflict files are created when you save the file back to the disk on both computers with out replicating. The first thing to ensure that

John, Firstly, you don’t need a separate PC copy of those OneDrive files. The files in the OneDrive folder are local to your PC and available when no Internet connection. (There are ways to only

Thank you Jane for your input and I will always try to have disciplined housekeeping on FH6 between my desktop and my laptop. I would have said that I never have FH6 open on both computers at once,

I was not sure exactly how you used the PC copies of the FH Project files, but it is now clear they are redundant leftovers from moving to OneDrive. I thought you may have been regularly copying

John, thinking about your scenario, I may not have given a complete picture about how to use FH with OneDrive. That may be especially significant if you have an unreliable Internet connection. So

Going from what you have said, it also sounds like you copied your project folder to One Drive on BOTH computers. The wil have caused duplication of every file in all your projects. Only copy one

John, Thanks for the sound advice which I wish I had known about before I set up FH on my laptop and moved it onto OneDrive. Regards, John.

Hi Mike. Wow that's a much better solution. Thank you I'll take a look at that link. Br David Potter

I'm fairly new to all this, but I created Sources for GRO Births, marriages and deaths, separately. I the create a citation using the relevant source and quote the index data in the citation. Is this

Steve, I do hope so - it's what I do!!! Cheers -- Sheila

Hi Steve, Yes, that sounds good. Presumably you are adding the Citations to the Birth, Marriage & Death events respectively. There is also a Plugin that helps with that process. However, if you

I have used FH6.2 for quite some time, although not in recent months. When I came to access the database recently I could access, if required the Sample Project, but if I wished to access my used

As I don't use traditional sources and citations, I use this method to record entries from GRO indexes. For example, "Q3 1869" for the date; and "Sudbury registration district" for the place. That

Not quite. Information comes from local registration offices which sends the details to GRO. Not all details arrive some are missing. The marriages of my mother's two sisters are not in

Victor UKBMD does not have all of the counties – mainly in the north of England and depends on whether the local family history society can find the volunteers and whether the Registrar will agree

Yes that is correct. It is increasing and more local register offices are agreeing. Just because all counties are not covered doesn't mean one should not check One can check what
