Here's an update from Chris Paton's blog: http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/1939-national-identity-register-terms.html Apparently there are concerns about data mining. Here is what I don't understand. In the US, we are often encouraged when using a census to make note of not just our own family, but also the households on either side. Some beginner books say six households on either side -- some recommend six pages on either side. The principle is the same either way -- often there are relatives living nearby, and even if they are not related, the information is useful for those of us doing 'cluster' or "FAN club" research (FAN = Friends, Associates, Neighbors). Look on a detail page for a person's census entry on Ancestry and you'll see a line marked "Neighbors" followed by a link to display all the entries on that census page. How are we supposed to do a reasonably exhaustive search if we are discouraged from looking at the people who are close by? Find My Past is putting people in the same predicament as we are in when looking at GRO indexes. Maybe the couple in a particular index entry are the people we seek -- and maybe not. No one wants to spend money to get certificates and find out that they have the wrong people. How many people solve this problem by never ordering the certificates? While I was doing some searches, and logging which names I had found so far, I discovered that I had multiple families of interest on one register page. That gives me far more incentive to unlock one of the households and get the image for that page than just having the information for a single household revealed to me. If getting access to a digital image for a page costs 6.95 GBP and I discover that there might be seven people on that page that I want to look at, that makes the price look much more affordable -- especially compared with the cost of 42 GBP that one had to pay before.

I am not sure what you are doing, but my FH V6 works just like FH V5 in all respects including files outside the Media folder. Are you sure you are using 'Re-Map > Re-map to Other Location' as you would on FH V5? Have you updated to FH V6 on your PC as suggested, in order to compare with Mac/Parallels? If you click the Help button it explains what Refresh does (and the other buttons, etc)! Can you edit a Media record Property Box so that its Linked File path refers to a file outside the Media folder? Also the Family Historian Projects folder can be located anywhere, providing you change the 'File > Project Window > Location' to match. (I know it may not suit you, but I did advise how to arrange your folder names so that file names will not be too long.)

You should be able the Re-Map folders in bulk. Compare FH on Windows PC with FH on Mac/Parallels/Windows by performing similar Re-Map operations to determine if the PC is behaving differently to the Mac.. Initially select just one folder in the 'External File Links' dialogue. However, a folder of that name must actually exist in your filing system. Then use 'Re-Map > Re-map to Other Location' and select the parent folder of the folder with that name in your filing system. In other words the 'Re-Map' is mapping one existing File Links folder onto its existing parent folder. In order to get matching folder names you may need to Rename folders in your filing system. Once you are successful with one folder at a time, and if there are several sibling folders at the same level that need to 'Re-Map', then select those sibling folders and 'Re-Map' them to their parent folder. However, as before, all those sibling folders must actually exist in your filing system.

I have the old problem of linking my media on a new computer. Old computer is a PC, new computer is a Mac running ‘Parallels’. All is running fine and using the latest version of FH 6.

My first reaction is that you are not using the FH Project structure, which means that many FH features are disabled. See http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:v4:understanding_projects A major benefit of using the Project structure and Media sub-folder is that Media links don't get broken when migrating from computer to computer! See http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:family_historian_migration_guide So I would suggest the following folder structure: Genealogy\FH ... set this as the FH File > Project Window > Location: instead of My Documents\Family Historian Projects Genealogy\FH\Morris ... holds the Morris.fh_proj file (renamed from Family Historian Sample Project) Genealogy\FH\Morris\Morris.fh_data ... holds the Morris.ged file Genealogy\FH\Morris\Morris.fh_data\Media ... holds your Media files That path is shorter than yours so no filename truncation should be involved. Genealogy\Family Trees\Morris Family Media If you stick with your current folder structure: To correct the External File Links path, simply select the deepest 'Morris Family Media' folder, then use 'Re-Map > Re-map to Other Location' and browse to the 'Family Trees' folder, then click OK. In other scenarios you may need to select all the folders beneath the 'Morris Family Media' folder, then use 'Re-Map'. If you switch to my proposed folder structure, select all the folders beneath the 'Morris Family Media' folder, then use 'Re-Map > Re-map within Project Data Folder' and select the Media folder. There are videos of the above techniques in the FHUG Knowledge Base. http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:changing_external_file_links Regards, Mike Tate -----Original Message----- Subject: [FHU] Media Linking On New Computer I have the old problem of linking my media on a new computer.

(I > will not give you're the technical details!). That's an interesting insight, and thank you! I was a wartime baby, and was taught my National Identity Number to recite if asked by anyone official. It was 4 letters plus 3 digits. For a while after the war, my NHS number was that NI number, which appeared on everything medical including spectacle prescriptions. I'm not sure quite when it ceased to be so. Now, I have at least five numbers for the NHS to find me: two on my NHS ID card - one UK + 8 digits, one like a very long credit card number; a separate one from the local hospital (3 letters plus 7 digits); two more for my GP surgery - one 3 + 3 + 4 digits, the other my name plus date of birth as one long word. No doubt it all works somehow. I looked at the 1939 Register: my parents are there but not the rest of the family. I didn't spend long looking for them, and didn't pay good money to see what detail there is. No doubt it will become free to view under one or another subscription, like the 1911 census ;) Keith
