Brian, You could go to gov.co.uk for School term and holiday dates so if you know the year then that will give you the date at end of term.

I tend to put all of the individuals records in one folder, with the individuals FH ID. Say, for Thomas Lund [76], I have a folder: media\military\lund\Thomas Lund [76]. And, source records “1914-18 T

I had a reply from Calico Pie, “You actually only needed to restart Family Historian. The problem is after an upgrade FH is running in Admin mode and windows prevents dragging and dropping in to an ad

Issue resolved by closing the the programme and restarting my computer. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

I have just upgraded to v7.03, and have lost the ability to drag-and-drop media into a source record.

Thank you Mike, that is incredibly useful! Robert Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

Geoff, any chance you can post the final working version for the grandparents please - I can’t get my head round it all!? Many thanks, Robert Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

Heather, FH7 is fantastic! Rather than do all your sorting in FH6 I would shove it all into the upgrade, and then do it. My reason for saying that, is in FH7 the source and citation input are much bet

Kathy - I haven’t used the Custom ID as a Tab. I just used it as an item in the Main Tab of the Individual Property Box, just beneath the Name item, so I could keep a check on what people I have on Fa

Thank you Mike! Robert Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

I’ve managed to use the Custom ID in the Individual Property Box, and renamed it as ‘LDS ID’. Although it takes a whole line up, it works well. I was wondering whether it could be moved up to the Capt

Mike, Thanks very much for that - it works a treat! I was able to append the Pool to the Name in the Property Box, so it now reads : "Individual: Robert LUND ID: [1] Pool: [1]" - Awesome! Ditto for Di

Mike, I thank you for your advice. I have managed to use the =RelationPool() function as a column in the Records view, and that is extremely useful. However, I'm struggling to find how to include the

I agree, Pools are brilliant! The only thing that had me scratching my head, was that I had about 25 Lund's in Pool 1, that weren't directly related to me. I eventually found that they were linked thr

Debbie, I’ve found it - if all else fails then read the Help file! The more I use this programme, the more I’m realising how powerful it is! Robert Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

Debbie, I like your idea of showing the pools in the Records Window! But, I’ve tried and failed. There doesn’t seem to be a field in the Item list to move across into the Column window. How does one d

Brian, I usually just dump any names I find straight into FH, with a cursory look for a match. I do this with the knowledge that I can easily merge records later if need be. I have a spreadsheet I use

Brilliant! Thanks Mike, I’ll give that a go! Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

Thanks very much for all of the feedback, which has led me to decide to stay solely with FH7. I am finding that the greater number of programmes I am using, the greater amount of duplicated time and e

How would you use it Trevor? I already have a massive FH7 Project with multiple names for my existing family research. What would be the best way to ‘filter’ out the one-name, would it be better to op
