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.
