    3. Robert, Checking further I have one correction to what I wrote. Both research and event note entries from Genbox are found in the Notes text box of a Fact in Family Historian from my GEDCOM. It is the Notes tab for an individual (in Genbox) that displays in the Notes tab for an individual in Family Historian. If you are finding all your notes, both events and individual, from Genbox running together you might check how you are selecting output from Genbox for your GEDCOM. Each of the various tabs in the GEDCOM output have options. Best, Denise L.

In Genbox where are your notes attached? Are your notes in the General Notes for Event or Research Notes for Event boxes? If you select View > Lists > Records > Notes, are the notes listed and number individually in sequence? Finally, when you export to a GEDCOM from Genbox, is the Research notes check box selected from the Data Content tab? All my notes, about 1,500, show in Family Historian 4 on the Notes tab for each individual. In Family Historian 4, each note is associated with the individual, not the specific Event (or Fact in Family Historian) as you would find in Genbox. Does that help? Best, Denise L.

In GenBox I have the transcripts of many BMD certificates as notes which print out fine with each separate event. However when I export my database as a Gedcom file and then use this with FH all the notes run on after the other and have various lines such as Date \tab 14 February 1861. I can not find the text of these notes anywhere in FH and would like to know how to export from GenBox correctly. Looking at the Gedcom file the lines seem to be things like 3 CONT BIRTH 3 CONT \b0 Name\tab William Smith 3 CONT Date\tab West Calder ..... (I believe from the GenBox user group that v5 of FH will be able to import directly form GenBox so it's probably not worth bothering too much with v4 if it involves too much work. Will the new version be able to import notes correctly?) Any help greatly appreciated Bob Warnock ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FAMILY-HISTORIAN-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FAMILY-HISTORIAN-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
