Plugin List

  • Add a General Record Office Source and optionally Event V1.2 (17 Dec 2014) By Jane Taubman. This plugin speeds up the entry of information from the UK Birth Marriage and Death indexes. It assumes you use a single source for all events from . . . the indexes and can then create an event and add a citation to that source. On first run for each Project the GRO Index Source will be prompted for. It then prompts for the GRO reference details and the record to be updated, it will default to the current Individual for Birth and Death, the current Family record for the Marriage. If there is no event it will create one and update the date and place if they are blank. It will then add a source citation for the Event. V1.1 Prevent error when used with standalone gedcom. Settings will not be saved in standalone mode. 1.2 Fixes for V6

  • Add GRO Event to an Individual (no source) V1.0.3 (9 May 2012) By Rodney Begg. A Modification of Jane Taubman's 'Add GRO Source' plugin (with permission) which writes the Registration data to the Notes field of the relevant . . . Event, instead of to the Place Field, rather than using a source. Version 1.0.1 overwrites more imprecise dates (eg (calc) and (app)) with the Quarter Date, leaving absolute dates (12 May 1891) alone. It also appends the Registration Data to the Note field if the Note field is already populated. Version 1.0.2 overwrites a Year Date (eg 1847) with the Quarter Date, leaving absolute dates alone. Version 1.0.3 corrects some over-enthusiastic pruning of the code in previous release 🙁

This plug-in adds the contents of the name suffix field to the stored name for all individual records in a project so that it will be shown when the name is displayed in the Focus window and other places.

  • Flexible CSV Importer V1.4 (28 Mar 2016) By Shelley Crawford. Takes a CSV file and creates people, adds facts and creates spouse and parent-child relationships in Family Historian. Columns in the CSV file can be . . . mapped to the appropriate fields using an interface in the plugin - fixed column formatting or naming is not required. The plugin can optionally append a source to every entry, and can create different citation details (ie "Where in Source") for each line of the CSV. Within each row, for each individual, it is assumed that any references to a fact type relate to the same occurrence of that fact. Custom reference numbers can be used to identify the same individual in different rows of the CSV either to build a more complex tree or to allow for multiple occurrences of a fact type. The type of use I had in mind when creating this was import of a variety of data that a one-name or place study might be interested in. For example, baptism transcripts which may include birth and baptism names, parents names and address all in the one line. Custom reference numbers allow for individuals to be linked across lines of the CSV to create larger family records eg where the same parents had multiple children baptised. This plugin is intended for use in a new file, and will not link to individuals already present in the database. Please check the import results carefully and let me know if there are any bugs. Version 1.1 will append to, rather than overwrite, duplicated note fields and citation text fields. It also creates new facts instead of overwriting data if an individual has the same field type listed in multiple rows of the data. Version 1.2 Adds option to discard Custom Reference Numbers, and fixes bug where custom ID numbers are listed multiple times. Version 1.3 fixes a bug that sometimes occurs when creating families using custom reference numbers. Version 1.4 fixes a bug in mapping note fields
