Family Historian 7 software

I used Family Historian 6.4 for a long time and got on well with it. However I now use Family Tree Maker, which links to your Ancestry tree if you want it to.
For me, the very best thing about it is the "Resolve all Place names" tool, which is worth its weight in gold, where you can correct all the inacurate place names that insinuate themselves into your tree from records in one go and load them back up to Ancestry.
I find it pretty easy to use generally and there is a good help menu and an online help site.
It's pricey, but worth it in my opinion!

Oh, that's interesting! I've heard about it here and there but haven't tried it still. Maybe I should give it a go, especially if there is a trial version!
I love the fact that they have a forum to ask questions and get helo if you get lost. I wish Photoglory had something like this regarding restorations and users could also give each other advice on how to work with old images better.

Late to this thread, as usual!!
For anyone still interested, Family Historian Forum is really useful. You an post a question and get help from other users, also lots of information and guidance on there if you are struggling.
I have FH7 and love it.

Just and update.
I've tried a couple more trial software but I've come to the conclusion that anyone in the years to come would have no idea how to extract information.

I am sticking to what I know and that's spreadsheets.
I've set up a workbook with several pages and a tree.
I did originally use links but having saved in error to the wrong version of excel and lost all the links I have learned from that. Don't use links.
I have a working family tree but I need to create something I can frame (just immediate family direct line). Need to put some thought into that.

I have Family Historian 6 which is excellent, I've also downloaded a free 30 day trial of FH7 before paying out for an upgrade, like you I'm also learning how to add sources and citations on this new version of the software. I think I've just about managed to understand the basics, have you tried the user forum for help? I've found them to be very good. I wouldn't use any other program now, and I've tried a few over the years.

Just realised I've already posted an example on another thread! Take a look at Family Tree Maker: Should I buy this software?

It's the same with all software. They start off simple and easy to use and over the years they keep adding new things, and eventually it becomes too complicated to use with too many bells and whistles!

I think I tried Family Historian years ago and didn't go for it. I then tried Ancestral Quest which was similar to my lovely simple Personal Ancestral File which is no longer available.

But I have found the best way is to enter them all on Ancestry website. Once you have your Ancestry login and password you have permanent access to your tree, even if you do not have a paid subscription in the future. Ancestry helps you find records and attach them to the person on your tree. It makes research and record keeping so much easier. I love it!

It also lets you write notes next to each record, most people don't do this and there are many thousands of trees on Ancestry, half of them are complete rubbish so take no notice of them. Just concentrate on your own tree.

Family tree software you purchase enables you to print fan charts and other such fancy things, but I'm not bothered about those. I can print details of individuals on Ancestry which is great. I can send you examples if you send me your e-mail address in a pm.

This has not been much help with your Family Historian, but I have to say that Ancestry works so much better because you can attach the records, then see the records.
