<I don't think it requires anything quite that radical! I'm probably over simplifying this, but I wonder if before the reload, FH could remember which diagram you were using and which individual you were looking at and then following the reload, redisplay the diagram and refocus on that individual. Diagram are more complex but it would be good if at least the individual you were viewing in the Focus Window was retained following a reload. Let's see what version 5 brings...

<Diagram are more complex but it would be good if at least the individual you were viewing in the Focus Window was retained following a reload. Let's see what version 5 brings...> When opening FH the person showing in the focus window is always the root person, and is the most logical way of working it. Personally I can't think of a more sensible way. When I am working on a particular branch or family I just make the head the root person and never have to start searching. As far as Ancestral Sources goes - surely this is a bolt on programme not written by Family Historian. I have tried it and found it not worth the effort as I still have to go back to FH to get all the information in that I want. Shelagh
