I am a fairly new user to FH4. Why would I want to convert my Note Records to a Local Note? I use the Note Records for my task list and have created a query to report on my outstanding Notes that are Task Related. Will FH5 automatically change my Note Records to Local Notes? I understood Local Notes were just held against the person record and were not a record in their own right???? -----Original Message----- From: family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of family-historian-users-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, 27 February 2012 6:01 PM To: family-historian-users@rootsweb.com Subject: FAMILY-HISTORIAN-USERS Digest, Vol 7, Issue 66 Today's Topics: 1.

Not easily in V4, but V5 allows plugins and I think you will find a plugin which will automatically convert any note records with only a single link to a local note.

Which parts of the project need to be copied to the memory stick? *2.* Different projects on different machines ( and different FH !! ) I have another boxed FH4, which I'd like to pass to her, and then transfer her tree to her machine (notebook). BUT, in March, will I be able to install and run a *full FH5* on my machine, while keeping my copy of FH4 on my machine to maintain her tree(FH4)? Any recommendations about keeping her and my versions synced? Easy questions today!

I really dislike the use of a "?" after a date e.g. "1959?" when what is really required is "c. 1959". I have footled about with diagram settings, but cannot find a way of doing this. Can anyone suggest a solution?

No FH will not change them, but there will be an optional plugin which will. If you read the original request someone was asking to do this as they had many note records which were only linked to a single person and they wanted them to be local notes. -- Jane.

I agree -that is pretty much what I want to use Note Records for. And I have one Note Record which simply says "This area is speculative", and is attached to many records! However over the years I have had lots of help via Rootsweb and have downloaded and merged many gedcoms, and what I would enter (if I were doing it manually myself) as a "Text from Source" (with the tree owners name as "Source") have converted as "Note Records", which results in thousands of Note Records each attached to one person. As a first step to clearing up the clutter on the Note Record, converting these to Local Notes seems like a good idea. On 28/02/2012 06:32, Gayle Bosworth wrote: > I am a fairly new user to FH4.
