Featured Plugins

Family Historian Version(s): V5 V6 V7

Search All Possible Names

V1.6

Search for individuals by specifying a given name, surname or both. A table of all matching individuals is returned with links to each record.

  • All recorded names for each person are checked.
  • With women, both maiden names and husbands’ surnames are checked (unless the family record is flagged as ‘Unmarried Couple’ or ‘Never Married’). Matching a woman’s husband’s surname is done on the assumption that his surname is likely to be her married name.
  • Leave both fields blank to get a complete list of all names from your Project. This replicates the TMG all names list.

Search and Replace

V3.9

Searches for any text, age, or date values within the current project, and allows them to be replaced by new values, with an optional confirmation at each stage. On completion, all processed values are listed in a Result Set with links back to the record fields. Supports regular expression style Lua pattern matching. See the Help & Advice pages for full details. This plugin is intended for those scenarios that cannot be handled by these commands: Edit > Find and Replace... and Tools > Work with Data > Places... or Addresses... However, do NOT use Edit > Find and Replace... to change any Place field names as it will upset your Place records.

Recent Updates for Plugins

Create Source Template Definitions

V1.1

This plugin creates Source Template Definitions from Source Templates generated directly within Family Historian or imported from another compatible application such as RootsMagic. This enables the Source Templates to be used in all Projects, not just the one in which they were created or imported. The latest version of the plugin incorporates minor improvements to the user interface, plus full support for templates containing Unicode characters.

Map Life Facts

V5.4

A mapping tool that can sync with Place records and create maps on web pages that display locations for each person's life facts. Mapped data may be saved in a Plugin Data file, or as part of your Project GEDCOM, in Source, Repository or Place records. Place and Address fields are supported. Maps can be filtered on Living & Private flags. The map files can integrate with FH generated web pages. See the Help & Advice for details. For further support please post in the Family Historian User Group forums or Family Historian at Groups.io email where the plugin author will answer your questions which can be supplemented with screenshots if necessary.

Where Used Record Links

V2.1

This generates a Result Set listing where any Records are used, similar to the View > Record Links… command, Tools > Work with Data > Places… > Where Used… button, and List All Citations for a Selected Source plugin. However, this plugin supports all Record Types, for any selection of Records, and lists details of the explicit Where Used fields appropriate for the Record Type. If the same Record is used in the same place twice, the Data Ref Where Used is marked with an asterisk. If a Record is linked from a rich text Record Link, the Data Ref Where Used is marked with an @ sign. Records to analyse can be selected via a prompt dialogue or by preselecting them before running the plugin. See the Help page for full details. For further support please post in the Family Historian User Group forums or Family Historian at Groups.io email where the plugin author will answer your questions which can be supplemented with screenshots if necessary.

Lumped Source Splitter

V1.4.1

This plugin converts a lumped source into individual split sources and recombines duplicated citations created during import from another genealogy application. Sources can be processed individually or in batches, and can be conventional Generic Sources or Version 7 Templated Sources. All citations, media, notes, etc. attached to individual citations are moved to the new split source. When used with Templated Sources, split sources are linked to a new template where previous citation level data fields have been moved to source level.

Recent Updates for Language Packs

Romanian (RON) Andrei Jipa

V1.0 RON v1.0
Basic Romanian language pack for Family Historian.

English (ENG RPRT) Mike Tate

V1.1 English Report Words
Translate some words in reports such as Spouse, Husband, Wife to Partner and handle all Date formats in reports and diagrams.

English (ENG) Calico Pie

V1.1 English
This language pack is intended to be used by anyone who records their data in a language other than English, but may sometimes want to translate it into English. Users will need to add to the translation tables, to translate terms in their own language into English; but the pack should provide at the very least, a good starting-point.

Portuguese (POR) Miguel Centeno

V1.2 Portuguese
This language pack is designed to be used to translate an English language project into Portuguese, and also to correctly render a Portuguese language project into Portuguese. If you are using it with a Portuguese language project, for best results, be sure to specify that the project language is Portuguese (in the Header record - which is accessible from the 'Special Records' submenu of the View menu). The language pack could be extended or modified to support translating other project languages into Portuguese, if required. This language pack contains language variants of fact types (fact definitions), as well as language variants of text schemes for diagrams.
