I'm probably missing something completely obvious here but any views on the easiest way to generate a report which will show all individuals that appear on a specific census? I use Ancestral Sources to record census information for a family group, but looking back at some early research, I want to be able to identify everyone that appeared on the same census as the individual I am currently focused on. 'AS' generates a source reference such as : Census 1881 Langley Burrell, Wiltshire, England RG11/2033/104/14 (Edwin Merrett).

Hi Beryl/Mike, I'm a good deleter and keep up with the housework & recycling - recycle bin empty and disc clean-up in regular use. It was just the double up on the old Family Historian and new Family Historian Project folders, and associated media, that attracted my attention, which I will delete as everything that's relevant is in the FH Projects folder.

Hi Russell - Thank you for your advice. I'm pleased to say, having waited for some FHU emails to arrive so that I could be sure I was on safe ground, that you were right. I deleted my FHUG rule in Outlook, which did not appear to be corrupted, and re-entered it with a slight enhancement to specify from which email account the FHU messages would be coming. It now works correctly, and my years of duplicate deletion should be over. Incidentally, three other rules showed up as corrupted (I have deleted them) so perhaps there was in fact a problem with the FHUG rule. Can't think why I didn't do this earlier!

If any one is getting two emails and unsubscribing does not seem to be working, if you check the headers and send the exact email addresses as shown on the header to the Admin FHU emails I can unsubscribe them or just one of them. The most common reason for unsubscribing failing is that there are variant addresses for example btinternet.com and btinternet.net are both valid and get delivered to the same mail box, but the Rootsweb server sees them as different addresses.

Hi Jane, Re the double e-mail problem - do have two e-mail addresses, so I've unsubscribed both for FHU mail just to make sure and then re-subscribed only one of them, but I'm still getting the messages twice - one in each account:( I've also upgraded from Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail to see if that would cure it, but it hasn't.

John That doesn't change my suggestion - in the case under discussion, Outlook was the only reader the poster used which was causing the problem which was why I limited myself to that software. Another suggestion I have seen is to make sure that the option to automatically download mail periodically is unchecked, if you do manual Send/Receives. Perhaps Outlook sometimes does both in a very short period of time, before the message has been deleted by the ISP. Finally, a repair of the Outlook data file using the Microsoft tool SCANPST has helped others, as has making sure that you have all the Outlook Service Packs, not just Windows XP (Go to Check for Updates in the Help menu) Russell -----Original Message----- From: family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John & Ellen Owen Sent: 04 January 2012 19:56 To: family-historian-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FHU] FH emails Russell snip : "Outlook can sometimes do some strange things without apparent reason, and the fact that it only happens in Outlook strongly suggests that it is the culprit!"

My laptop (running XPPro) is short on disc space. I have FH v4.1 installed and on the list of currently installed programs only Family Historian v4.1 shows up. But I have a folder called Family Historian which contains all the old version data - am I safe to delete this folder? I also have a folder Family Historian Projects which is where the current data is. Thanks, Linda

If you're running rules for FH emails, you need to ensure one of the advanced options is selected. Go into Rules and Alerts and select the rule for your FH emails. Click on Change Rule, then select Edit Rule Settings. This will open the Rules Wizard. Click on the Next button and ensure the 'Stop processing more rules' option is ticked. That should work. It's worked for me in the past, and I always ensure that option is ticked whenever I create a new rule. Presumably as a result of this, I no longer receive duplicate emails.

This is not a problem I have seen reported previously, but I can see it's an issue (personally I was pleased to get back to the 1600's so it will be a while before I have BC dates in my tree).
