  2. @sheribush I have used #FH7 for many years and have used others before. I've even looked elsewhere more recently but in my opinion you probably cannot better it. Three things I like 1. Your data is held in Gedcom format so it's easy to access (and move if you wanted to). 2. Has a great independent user group with a forum fhug.org.uk/ 3. Software has a good range of plugins that are easy to use and add some really helpful tools. #FamilyHistorian @genealogy #genealogy

  3. @rmordecai I wonder why you are not necessarily looking for a genealogy program. #FamilyHistorian does just what you describe. It has an 'Everyone' chart too which can be useful. It holds the data in Gedcom format so it's easy to move about. It's also relatively easy to import a CSV file with your spreadsheet dara. Finally it has a fantastic user/support group - FHUG.

  4. @ScientistSoph you’re most welcome.

    There’s a few brick walls I’ll be using the technique with, but also as a general tool to learn more about ancestors in the “in between” years to become a better

  5. Working on a new family history blog post. This one is gonna take awhile as I am taking my time with research on these direct ancestors, to get a taste of not just what they did, who they where to the world, but also who they where as individuals, and as a family along with descendants, up close... Martyrs, Monks, Saints, and mayhem...#histodons #familyhistorian #history #geneadons #blog #martyrs #familyhistory #ancestors #ancestry #saints #monks and finding ⏳️ to ✍️

  6. @JeffS @david @genealogy yes, I didn't even mention the plugins. The support is incredible, you only have to ask "couldn't this plugin just do it like this?" and some kind person works out how to do within days, or politely explains why you shouldn't do it ike that! #FamilyHistorian

  7. @sheribush @david @genealogy IMHO Family Historian has always been way ahead of Rootsmagic (7 or 8) and I have tried both. FH7 holds its data in Gedcom format too so your data is not locked away in some proprietary database. Product support from the manufacturers is excellent but the user group FHUG fhug.org.uk/ is a real bonus. #familyhistorian #rootsmagic #gedcom

  8. @david @genealogy I have been using Family Historian for the last 14 years, runs on my Windows 11 Laptop, doesn’t sync with any online trees such as Ancestry, but can get hints from FindmyPast & My Heritage, I do have a tree on Ancestry, but it’s not as complete as the offline version, mainly there for DNA cousin bait. #genealogy #FamilyHistorian

  9. Have been source indexing the crap out of my Native American lines with dawes roll cards to trail of tears check in points. Found all my sources and WikiTree says my 7th great grandfather is too old @wikitree 😆 whatttttt??? He literally lived to 122 yrs old lol, what can I do to add him?? #histodons #blacksnake #nativeamerican #chief #governor #history #warchief #seneca #familyhistory #familyhistorian #sourceindexing #wikitree

  10. Cont... 🧵 A place that matches me. The other one I will keep as my post outlet for cooking, podcast and photography. I'm happy to be here and excited to see a place full of genealogist, family historians and those also on this journey. My goal one day become a board certified genealogist. I am good at source indexing. I don't know if that's something I should be excited about but, I do get happy when i have a good day of source indexing, it works out well... 🧵 #thread #genealogy #familyhistorian
