TopTenReviews gives Family Historian 7 their highest overall rating in their review of the best family tree software of 2024. This is the 6th year in a row that TopTenReviews has rated Family Historian number 1 overall.
Pictures and other multimedia are shared resources in Family Historian. If a picture shows several people, for example, you will normally link it to all the people in the picture. The Media Window allows you to view all the media in the current project, or any subset, using whatever filter you want. In this example, the Media Window is showing thumbnails of all images in the current project. Double-click on any image to view the picture in close-up (see next).
The Property Box showing thumbnails for Ian Munro (in close-up) in the Media tab. Uncheck the Close-up button on the toolbar, to view the whole picture. You can toggle between viewing thumbnails and full pictures here too. You can view the Property Box for any Individual (or other record type) at any time.
You can click-and-drag on boxes to add relatives. Again, diagrams automatically adjust to accommodate new records, and deleted or updated records. Enter details about the person in the Property Box. Using automatic source citations you can ensure that correct source citations are added, even when you add relatives in this way.
All trees in Family Historian diagrams are Smart Trees. You can move or resize boxes and branches and the trees adjust automatically. You have extensive control over the appearance, content and layout of all charts.
This is another view of the Property Box, with the Citation List pane hidden. It shows the Facts tab, where the events and attributes in the life of each person are recorded. You can optionally display extended family timeline facts too, as shown here. These are key events in the lives of close-relatives (with a light-grey background).
Entering accent characters is easy. If you press-and-hold any letter, when typing in any field in the Property Box, in the Note Window, or in the Automatic Source Citation pane, a popup window will appear just above the field, with a choice of accents for the letter in question. The choice of accent characters listed is configurable, and can include accent characters from any languages.
The main data entry window for source citation details, is the Citation Window (shown right). It is used in conjunction with the Property Box (Citation List pane), the Note Window (with embedded source citations), and the Automatic Source Citation pane.
Source records can optionally use source templates, as in the example right which uses the Book/Pamphlet/Monograph template. Source templates allow easier and more accurate recording of source information, and make possible more professional-looking citing of sources in reports. Two collections of source templates are provided: an Advanced collection modelled on Elizabeth Shown Mills book Evidence Explained, and an Essentials collection, designed by Calico Pie with help and advice from the Genealogy Programme of the University of Strathclyde. All templates can be customized, or you can create your own. You can even create your own collections to share with others.
Version 7 supports a whole new workflow, based around working directly from sources. This is called Source-driven Data Entry, and it is designed to match the way genealogists typically work. When you receive a source of some kind (such as a document), you can now start by entering the details of that source directly into Family Historian. New tools are available to facilitate this process, including in many cases new data entry assistants. These are plugins (program extensions) which are designed for specific types of sources, and may be region-specific. They aim to make data entry both quicker and easier, while providing more consistent, comprehensive and professional results. A library of free data entry assistants can be accessed from within the program. This library is maintained in the Family Historian Plugin Store, and all Family Historian users can create data entry assistants, and share them via the library; so over time, we expect that more and more source types will be supported.
Research notes are separate from ordinary notes. Different styles of research notes are available, designed for logs, plans, or task lists; but you can design your own types to suit your preferred way of working. You can link records to research notes. Research notes support full word processing features, so you can also insert links to any records into research notes. These link are not just to records for people, but to records of any type. You can even insert links to other research notes if you want to.
Research notes are in addition to the much shorter note-within-a-note, hash tags, mentioned in the word processing section above, which can also be used as a way of recording much shorter research notes.
Make discoveries easily with Automatic Internet Data Matching to historical records and family tree profiles on Findmypast and MyHeritage databases. Hints display in the Focus Window when matches are found. These are little green circles showing the number of matches found. A popup window with more information appears when you hover the mouse over a hint (see right). Clicking on the hint shows the match in a web page (see next section). Some of the matches can be viewed and confirmed for free, while others require an appropriate subscription. Matches can be viewed in the Web Search Window or an external browser.
Family Historian comes with 43 standard reports, and you can create your own custom reports. All reports are highly configurable.Reports can be saved in PDF format, as word-processor documents (in Rich Text Format), as web pages (HTML format), or as text files.
Creating a website to display your Family tree is easy. A wizard takes you through a few simple steps, and then generates your website for you. Creating a great-looking family tree CD or DVD is just as easy.
A query is a stored set of instructions for retrieving data, and for displaying it in a spreadsheet-like grid. For example, you might create a query to retrieve information about all the male ancestors of your spouse who died of a heart attack or whose cause of death is not known. Family Historian comes with 51 queries when installed, but you can easily create your own.
The language of Family Historian itself is English (U.S. English or U.K. English) ; so to use the program, some command of the English language is needed. However, the program can be used to record information in languages from all over the world, and reports, books and diagrams can all be rendered in multiple languages, using language packs (free downloads from the Family Historian Plugin Store). The current library includes French, German, Swedish, Dutch/Flemish, Norwegian, Portuguese and English; but new language packs can be added at any time. Language packs can be used not just to render output correctly in the original data language (this is called same language rendering), they can also be used to translate reports, books and diagrams into different languages.
Some of these problems are more severe that others, with the unlinked media the most pressing. When I say unlinked, the files with the bogus four digits added to the name show up linked to the right person, they are just inaccessible because TNG is looking for the files original name prior to the strange digits being added. In other words, you see that icon symbolizing the the broken link instead of the actual photo.
I can answer point (3) in your posting. These prefixes are added by the Export Gedcom File plugin you mention, written by Mike Tate. If you look at the options screen for that plugin, you will see the similiar to the following screenshot, although you will have PREFIX selected most probably. Change this to FOLDER to drop the prefix.
Do you have the plugin set to TNG output? It's very a very complicated plugin and it pays to read all the instructions very thoroughly to understand the outputs. My guess is that your point (4) above is also being set in one of the options screens in the plugin. Media transfers are tricky and you have to get all the parameters correct, it took me quite a while before I could get them to work.
I've been using the default again, which is PART LMO. I'm wonder if FULL LMO might give me better resutls. I think that it might give me a better representation of what's in my Family Historian database.
This generates a folder (usually called "[0]") in your Public\Export folder in your FH project folder. It then creates all the media files there, which I then upload to my TNG Media directory via FTP. If you have already uploaded the files independently to your TNG folder you will need to work differently. Do you use the option in FH to keep all media files in the local Media directory, or do you have your own structure? You have to get the TNG directory structure to match your local directory structure. Sorry if this all sounds a bit fluffy, there are a lot of variables at play.
Adrain, I think the folders have write permissions, but I'll double check. I'll be back with more specific questions after I do some more "fiddling" with this import. I'm also gong to ask Mike Tate on the FH forum about these settings. Thanks for your help so far. I'm finallly making some progress. Right now I do have two other questions: What do you do for Witnesses, which TNG doesn't seem to handle direction? Do you still use FH as your primary genealogical program, or is TNG now primary and you do GEDCOM imports into FH? -- Carl
I use FH as my primary database, I do all my work there and just export across into TNG. I use Mike Tate's Export Gedcom File plugin, make a small change to the resultant file (nothing that affects the problems you are experiencing), and then import into TNG. I upload the media files produced by the plugin file too, although these are only added to if I have added new media, as existing files are not replaced. I do run a little bit of SQL code on the webserver to tidy things up a bit, but again this is nothing that would help your problems. I am happy to share in detail what I do if you think it will help, and I will also send you my site details by private message.
