|---|---|---|---|
| Add a General Record Office Source and optionally Event | 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 1.3 Added support for 3 sources, it now also adds "Registration District" to the Address on created Facts and prompts for the full Placename to use when creating an event.(V1.3) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Add Assessment to Citations for a Source | Adds, removes or changes a Certainty Assessment to all citations for a selected source, optionally over writing existing ones. Returns a result list of all items changed.(V1.2) | V6 | Standard |
| Add GRO Event to an Individual (no source) | 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 :((V1.0.3) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Add GRO Index Entries | Designed to work with the "Civil Registration Index" source template from the Essentials collection, this will add the GRO Index sources for Births, Marriages and Deaths for the current individual. It will create a Birth or Death event if needed, and update the event date and place if requested. The "Civil Registration Index" template from the Essential Collection needs to be added into the project first.(V1.3) | V7 | Standard |
| Add GRO Index Source Citation |
This plugin speeds up the entry of UK GRO Index details for Birth, Marriage, and Death events.
It is derived from the 'Add a General Record Office Source and optionally Event' plugin also known as 'Add GRO Source'.
It allows a single generic source for all events, or three generic sources, one for each event type.
The plugin defaults to the current Individual for Birth and Death, or the current Family for a Marriage.
It will create an event if none exists and can update the date and place in an existing event.
Finally, it adds a source citation to the event and optionally to the record name.
On the first run for each Project, the GRO Index generic source record(s) will be requested.
It then prompts for the GRO Index details and the record to be updated before checking the Registration District.(V1.0)

| Add Media URL Shortcut |
Adds web page URL Shortcut to Media tab of the chosen record.
Enter desired web page URL and Title then click the Link Media URL button.
The Plugin then:

V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Add name suffix to full name. | For use after importing data files from other family tree programmes. A Gedcom file has one suffix per individual which Family Historian imports into the name suffix field but does not add to the stored name field or display with the full name. 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. NOTE: This plug will permanently change your Name fields and does not provide a method to reverse the process. Please use Edit Undo before exiting the program to reverse the changes.(V1.0) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| Add Notes |
The Add Notes plugin helps you quickly link notes to multiple records in your Family Historian project. Instead of manually adding notes one by one, you can:
[su_list icon="icon: check-square-o"]
|
V7 | Standard |
| Add Source From Template | Add source records based on user-defined templates. You can create field prompts by putting the prompt text in curly brackets {}. For example the title template might be: {Author Given Names} {Author Surname}, "{Item title}," {Item type}, {Website creator}, {Website title}, (http://{URL http://} : posted {Date posted (dd MMMM yyyy)}). and the short title: {Author Surname}, "{Item title}" Default values for field can be set or changed when using the template to create a source.(V1.0) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Address Reformatting | Reformats all Addresses to be either multi-line, or single-line with parts separated by a comma and a single space. Only the GEDCOM tag ADDR is involved, and only records that need reformatting will be updated. A Result Set is generated showing the old and new Addresses. V1.3 (Thanks to Mike Tate) Unicode characters outside the ANSI/CP1252 set now preserved. V1.2 (Thanks to Mike Tate) All Addresses converted to one of three possible formats with parts separated by: (a) a comma and a space (Single-Line); (b) just a newline (Multi-Line); (c) a comma and a newline. V1.1 Caters for an optional comma and whitespace before the newline when going to the single-line format, and provides a new option for a comma preceding each newline when going to the multi-line format (i.e. a comma at the end of every line except the last).(V1.3) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Address Summary Report | Counts and Lists All Addresses in the File. Similar to FH Standard report "Data - Addresses" but: (a) Each Address (including multi-line) is shown on a single line. (b) Leading numbers can be either sorted numerically or ignored for primary sort. (c) Count is to the left of the Address. (d) (V1.1) Option to append relevant Place (if present) to each Address. (e) (V1.2) Option to sort and display Address (and Place if appended) with Parts reversed. (V1.3) Number handling improved and a bug fixed.(V1.3) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Adjust AKA Names for Reports | Temporarily adds Also Known As (AKA) Alternate Names, Nicknames, Given Names, Surname Prefixes, etc, to the Primary Name for inclusion in Reports that do not support such names. However, few of the latest Reports need this adjustment as most Name adornments can be included using the Options. The (aka: Names List) can be added before or after the Primary Surname and later automatically removed. Optionally, the fully adorned Primary Name and/or any social Title Attribute may be included. Alternatively, an Also Known As Custom Attribute can hold the Names List for inclusion in Reports. NOTE: Running this Plugin will alter the Updated Dates for all modified Individual Records that have any AKA Names. To avoid this, either use Edit > Undo Plugin Updates after creating Reports, or disable Autosave and do NOT Save the file. Using the Plugin option to remove the AKA Names will NOT reset the Updated Dates. 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.(V1.5) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| All Pool Relatives Except Partner Ancestors | Family trees may need pruning into parent or other branches, and this plugin lets branches be selected and exported as a GEDCOM. Select each Individual whose spouse branch is to be removed. The immediate family of anyone who is retained is also retained. When there are common ancestors there may be a conflict. The portion of such shared ancestors to retain can be chosen. When the Plugin closes it lists all Individual records requested. Use Ctrl+A on the keyboard to select entire Result Set then use Query Menu > Add Selected Cell Records to a Named List Use the File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File command and << Select from Named Lists tab, pick the Named List used above, click >> Add All and then complete the export process.(V1.1) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Ancestors and Descendants – Counts by Generation | Simple result set report of the number of Grandparents recorded for an individual by Generation and the number of direct decendants by generation(V1.3) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Ancestral Sources Launcher | This plugin provides "one-click" access to the separate Ancestral Sources application directly from within Family Historian, with the current project and individual pre-loaded. Ancestral Sources is a popular utility, created by Family Historian user Nick Walker, that allows faster and more convenient creation of Census, Birth, Baptism, Marriage, Death and Burial/Cremation records. It is now distributed primarily through the Windows Store, rather than via the Family Historian User Group, and this plugin now fully supports the new Store versions, Although Ancestral Sources is designed around Family Historian, it is a separate application and can be used independently of Family Historian if required. No further menu selections are required or used by this launcher plugin, as it simply invokes Ancestral Sources for the active individual, then closes. If used frequently, it is recommended that the plugin be added to the Family Historian Tools window to give immediate one-click access to Ancestral Sources. Ancestral Sources Launcher now supports extended desktops, so opens (when the menu is required) in the same monitor as the main Family Historian application.(V2.1) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Ancestry Sync – Display Individual | This plugin supplements the Ancestry Synchronization plugin and displays the currently selected Individual Record in Ancestry directly. It is recommended that the plugin is added to the Tools Menu to facilitate use.(V1.0) | V7 | Standard |
| Ancestry Synchronization | Manages a process whereby an extract of the Family Historian project is kept synchronized with Ancestry to give continuity in hint generation, with a simple optional process for completely removing any reference to living or other private individuals. Updating an Ancestry tree via a new GEDCOM file resets the record of which hints have been processed. However, if the update is carried out via an intermediate application that synchronizes with Ancestry, the hint history is fully preserved between updates. This plugin links to RootsMagic 11 or later to ensure that the RootsMagic extract is an exact copy of the relevant facts in Family Historian. This extract is then uploaded to Ancestry using the TreeShare function within RootMagic. The full version of RootsMagic is required to keep the tree updated and preserve your hint history, but the free Essentials version can be used for a one-off upload. Ancestry no longer support linking with RootsMagic versions 9 and 10. The plugin will continue to synchronise with these older applications, but the subsequent Ancestry upload will no longer function. Note that there is by design no facility to transfer new information from Ancestry hints or other changes back to Family Historian. It is a one-way transfer of data, and all updates are made in Family Historian to prevent any project corruption arising from incompatibilities between the three applications.(V2.7) | V7 | Standard |
| Assign and Cascade Caste |
This plugin provides a tool for entering Caste for an individual, and cascading it automatically to their descendants through the male line. Caste can also be entered for a female individual, but this is not cascaded to any other person.
Caste is inherited according to the following rules:

V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings | Backup and restore the Family Historian custom settings and preferences, including all Program Data Standard & Custom files and all relevant Windows Registry based settings. This handles all custom settings that are not included in Project backups such as all the Tools > Preferences... settings and all customisations of Diagrams, Reports, Queries, Plugins, Fact Sets, Records Window Columns, Property Box tabs, Autotext, Source Templates, Language Packs, Spellcheck Dictionary, etc. See the Help & Advice pages 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.(V3.7) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings via Windows | This plugin provides a simple and convenient method for backing up and restoring Family Historian custom settings and features, such as Plugins, Custom Queries, Fact Sets, Language Packs, etc, using Windows scripts for file management. This gives a faster backup than using traditional plugin methods, and can be used either for restoring to the original PC or transferring all customisations to a new or additional PC. No prior knowledge of Windows scripting is required to use the plugin, as all menu options are presented in familiar everyday language. However, they provide a template for technically-minded users to develop more sophisticated backup routines, such as single-click backups activated from a desktop shortcut, or even regular unattended backups that run automatically in the background to a defined schedule. The plugin is designed for ease of use, with a minimum of configuration options in a simple and streamlined interface. Family Historian 7 custom fonts and zoom levels are fully supported, with no additional configuration required.(V3.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Backup Family Historian Settings | Creates a Backup of the Family Historian Settings to a backup location of your choice. 1.1 Changed to use the Lua Path to find the FH Program Data folder so it works with XP. 1.1 Changed to simply return when No is selected on the first prompt. 1.2 Use the fhGetContextInfo("CI_APP_DATA_FOLDER") now it's been reinstated. 1.3 Don't save preferences when in Standalone Gedcom mode.(V1.3) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Behind The Name (forenames) | Launches the Behind the Name Web site for the currently selected Given Names launching a web browser window for each name. Useful for checking unusual names for likely sex and origin. Behind the Name is a website for learning about all aspects of given names.(V2.0) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| Build a Tree from a CSV | Takes simply formatted CSV file containing relationships and builds a tree. Designed to Work on a Blank File, but will add records to an existing one. Please review the code and correct to match your exact file. 1.1 Code enhancements(V1.1) | V6 | Standard |
| Change Any Fact Tag | This plugin allows any type of Individual Fact, or Family Fact, or Level 1 Tag, to be deleted or changed in bulk. It is complementary to the Change Specific Fact Tag plugin that allows one single instance of a fact to be changed. This plugin supports all Standard Facts, Custom Facts, Defined GEDCOM Tags and UDF Tags (including Project-only Fact Sets). Source data can be selected by Value, Date, Place or Records via Filters. When an Attribute is converted to an Event its Value is saved in a SOURce Note. When an Event is converted to an Attribute and an _UNCAT UDF exists, its value is moved to the Attribute Value. Corrects abnormal UDF Tag values, such as @@S99@@ record links. Allows confirmation of changes, keeps Log Files, creates Result Set of changes, and retains settings across all Projects. See the Help & Advice pages for more details and examples of use. 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.(V4.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Change Specific Fact Tag | This plugin changes a single fact for a specified Individual or Family record to a new fact with the same details and is complementary to the Change Any Fact Tag plugin, which is designed to change multiple instances of a fact selected via defined filters. All available Fact types are supported, and attached records such as Sources or Media are transferred automatically to the new fact. The primary application for this plugin is likely to be in detailed editing of individual records, rather than system-wide changes in fact such as may be required after importing from another application.(V1.2.1) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Check for Broken Media Links | Reports all Media Records and Local Media Objects in the Project or GEDCOM with broken/missing file links. It produces a Result Set that is more convenient than searching through the Media Window or External File Links dialogue for X marks in Family Historian versions prior to Version 7. The Result Set can be saved or printed as a checklist of Media to investigate further.(V1.2) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Check for new Search The Internet settings | Downloads the current "Search The Internet Parameters" from Calico Pie and upgrades if required. Not required in 6.2 and above as the function is built in, under the More button.(V1.3) | V6 | Standard |
| Check for Possible Duplicate Media | This plugin checks all the media records in your project and compares the files linked to them looking for files which are identical it will pick up both records which are linked to the same file and to those where the names are different, but the contents are the same. When complete it returns a result set containing the matching records. By selecting each pair in turn, just drag over both cells, you can then select Edit>Merge Compare Records from the menu and merge the records together. Once the process is complete, it is recommended to use the "Check for Unlinked Media" plugin to clean up any duplicate files. N.B This does not handle non Latin (Unicode) file names or large files such as video, so if you make use of these please look at Check for Possible Duplicated Media (V2.2) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Check for Possible Duplicate Media (FH7) | This plugin is similar in concept to the long-established Check for Possible Duplicate Media plugin, but extends the scope to cover all media files, provides more detailed reporting, and adds optional merging of identical media records. Although the core concept is similar to the earlier plugin, it has been completely rewritten using different tools and processing logic to enable it to include files with Unicode names and paths, as well as files of virtually unlimited size. Multiple files in the same media record, which is a GEDCOM 5.5.1 feature added in version 7 of Family Historian, are also supported. Processing time has been shortened markedly, and the plugin includes more detailed reporting options that are fully described in the accompanying help file. As well as the existing manual merging processing (select a pair of records to be merged, then click on Edit > Merge/Compare Records... from the main Family Historian menu), there is a new option to automatically merge all identical media records, or to merge records where there are duplicate Media folder files that differ just by a numerical suffix. (V1.1) | V7 | Standard |
| Check for Unlinked Media | Checks all the media files in the media folder are linked to media records in the Project and optionally can delete or move unlinked files. Note deleted or moved files can not be recovered using the Undo option in Family Historian as the deletes are done directly on the disk. It is therefore recommended you do a FULL Family Historian Project Backup prior to running. (V2.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Check for Unlinked Media (FH7) | Searches any specified location on the user's PC to check for files that are not linked to Media Records in the current project (of particular interest to users who link existing media files to their project rather than copy them into the Media folder). The plugin menu enables the user to specify either the Media folder, any other defined folder, or all folders that contain at least one linked media file. Output can be formatted to show either separate folder and file name, similar to the default configuration of the Records Window, or with the full file path. Files with names beginning with either a dot or a tilde character (~) are excluded from the search, as these are normally temporary or hidden files, as are files with a .db extension, commonly used by image management software. This new plugin fully supports files with Unicode characters in their name and path that may not be processed correctly by the earlier Check for Unlinked Media plugin. Unlike the earlier plugin, which only supports searching the project Media folder, this new option does not currently offer the facility to either move or delete unlinked files. When a plugin deletes a file, it is deleted permanently from the disk, not send to the Recycle Bin, and selecting the wrong folder accidentally could result in a very large number of accidental file deletions. If users want to delete all the files listed, the recommended method is to export the output to an external file and use that as the basis of a batch file/command script to perform the deletions.(V1.1.1) | V7 | Standard |
| Check Installed Plugins Against the Store | Checks currently installed plugins against those currently in the store and optionally downloads and installs later versions. If you have many plugins installed it will take a while to run to please allow it some time to complete. (V3.3) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Check Sort Dates | Sort dates are supported by a number of different family history applications, but the way they are implemented and stored can vary between products. As a result, import into Family Historian from another produce can generate sort dates that are either unnecessary or invalid. This simple plugin checks your Family Historian project for such sort dates, and presents the option of either listing them for further examination, or deleting automatically. It is recommended for all projects that have been directly imported from another product.(V1.1) | V7 | Standard |
| Clean Living Persons | This plugin offers several options to reduce the amount of information in a GEDCOM file for living people. When sharing files online, it is advisable to privatise the details of Private and Living people. The plugin is designed to be used in conjunction with the Export > GEDCOM File and Split Tree Helper commands, and will prompt for confirmation if you try to use it on a GEDCOM file that is open in Project mode. It will take note of the Private and Living flags on a person, but can be additionally set to assume anyone with an actual or estimated birth date after a selected date (or with no birth date) and also with no death date is still living. Any person listed in the 'Do Not Clean Living Persons' Named List will be unaltered. See the FHUG Knowledge Base Export to Website Without Sensitive Data advice for an example of use. See the Help & Advice page for specific 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.(V2.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Clean Unwanted Fields | Removes fields that typically upset Ancestry, or hold sensitive data, or are chosen by the user. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File... and File > Split Tree Helper... commands, and will prompt for confirmation if you try to use it on a GEDCOM file that is open in Project mode. See the FHUG Knowledge Base advice on how to Export to Website Without Sensitive Data for an example of use. 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.(V1.4) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Clean Up Notes | This plug in converts record notes which have only one link to "local notes" and removes blank lines at the front of the note if they exist. It is mainly used by users moving from "Generations" which stores all notes as record notes and prefixes all notes with a blank line.(V1.3) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Clean up Surname Capitalisation | Process all Surnames, tidying the capitalisation for Surnames recorded in the file in ALL CAPS. Special Cases for Mac,Mc,de' and O' have been included more can be added in the capitalise function, also allows over-ride at runtime by prompting the converted surnames for confirmation.(V1.3) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Clone Any Record | Creates one or more clones of a selected record. Useful for creating new records (especially sources) based on a template. It is best to add this plugin to the Tools menu and run it from there after selecting the required "Template" record in the Records Window. A message confirms creation of new record(s) and (if only one) full details are optionally shown as a result set. You then need to change the name/title of each new record and complete any required non-template fields. The template record can contain blank fields if wanted, and links to other records. User is prompted to confirm that an Individual or Family record should be cloned. Note that if an Individual record is cloned the new record will contain an empty Family-as-Spouse link which can be either appropriately completed or deleted. Updated 14 Jan 2021 to work with FH7 as well as FH5 & FH6. Updated 02 Aug 2021 to v3.0 to also allow multiple (2 to 50) clones; default behaviour same as previous version.(V3.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Convert File Links | Converts all object links to portable ones, creating cut out images for multimedia objects which have partial links. It will only work on an "exported" gedcom file with full media paths, to prevent accidentally converting a project. The resulting file can be imported to a variety of programs including Rootsmagic or uploaded to web supporting software like TNG. Note: When the file is converted, FH will not display the media until the file is reloaded. The resulting file can be imported to a variety of programs including Rootsmagic or uploaded to web supporting software like TNG. V1.1 Added progress display and converted after removal of fhGetItemText function. V1.2 Handle Crop Rectangles which end outside the frame, tidy debug prints. V1.3 Add options to support copy of non image files. V1.4 Handle non-image & missing media, more cropping fixes, other minor updates (with thanks to Mike Tate). V1.5 Use max file sizes with "cut out" images.(V1.5) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Convert Legacy Places (Deprecated) | FH offers direct import from Legacy Family Tree, making this plugin redundant, so it will be deleted in due course. Loads a GEDCOM file exported from Legacy Family Tree and converts the Place data to FH format.(V1.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Convert Text From Source To Rich Text | Updates Text from source for the source currently selected, if you have multiple sources selected all will be prompted until the process is aborted or the list is completed. In the first prompt select the table text, no selection will treat the whole text as a table and the delimiter, then click OK. The results for each source will be shown in a Rich Text prompt where you can adjust as needed before clicking OK. N.B If you have comma separated texts, the plugin will use your place records to try and identify the places. If the place is not found you will find you have additional columns (V1.0) | V7 | Standard |
| Copy Existing Reference Numbers in Gedcom File | This plugin will copy the current record IDs in a Gedcom file to either the Custom ID, Automated ID or a UDF value. This is useful if you have used the numbers from the originating program for physical filing or in other add on systems. It is designed to work on a Gedcom File PRIOR to opening the file in Family Historian. Family Historian will only renumber imported records, if the record ids are non numeric or very long. This can then be used if needed to cross reference the old numbers, should Family Historian need to renumber. To use, please open the sample Project or "another" Project, then run the program and select your gedcom file. DO NOT open your gedcom file in Family Historian before running the plugin to retain the old numbers. The plugin will create a new gedcom file in the same folder as the original with -new added to the end of the file name.(V1.0) | V7 | Standard |
| Copy Sources Between Projects | Provides a simple tool for copying Source Records from one Family Historian Project to another. Sources are selected from a standard menu, and copied to an external file along with any linked records such as Media, Repository, Note/Research Note, or FH7 Template. Records are saved in standard xml format, not as a GEDCOM file, as the output file is designed solely for use with this plugin. The saved records can be imported directly into any other Project generated by the same major version of Family Historian. Media stored in the Media folder of the source Project are optionally copied to the destination Project, replicating any detailed folder structure. (V1.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Create and Update Ancestor and Descendant Counts | Create (if necessary) and Update counts for the number of ancestors and the number of descendants for each person in the current project. Where the custom attributes are created the Fact Set information will need to be updated manually. To use the counts in queries remember to use the =texttonumber() function to convert the value to a number to allow logical sorting. Also if running on files containing Royal lines please be aware it may take some time to run. To use the counts in queries remember to use the =texttonumber() function to convert the value to a number to allow logical sorting. (V1.3) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Create Individual Shortcut | Simple plugin which can create a link on the Windows Desktop to open a selected Individual in a selected Project on either the Records Window or the Focus Window. The file can either be named as "Launch Family Historian" or with the selected persons name. The former is useful as a quick bookmark, especially if you add the Plugin to the Tools menu where it can be run quickly before closing Family Historian.(V2.0) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| Create Source Template Definitions | 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. Recent updates to the plugin incorporates minor improvements to the user interface, plus full support for templates containing Unicode characters and support for using Family Historian on multi-monitor setups.(V1.2) | V7 | Standard |
| CWCG Build from CSV | This is a plugin that can take a CSV file downloaded from the Common Wealth War Graves commission web site of search results, then in an Empty GEDCOM file build records from the data, using as much data as can be extracted. It uses a number of custom facts for the 'Military' details. As this is my first plugin, please take care, and let me know of any issues This plugin is based on the work of Jane Taubman, in her 'Build Tree From CSV File' plugin v0.4 - refined the way that data is extracted, and added the build of additional data(V0.4) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Date Search and Return Result Set | Finds all Date fields with either Double Dates, Qualifiers or matching a selected date or date range and returns them as a result set. Before, After To or From Dates can optionally be treated as simple dates. So searching for 1901 will include facts with dates with Before 1901, but not Before 1902.(V2.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Delete old FH6 Plugin Module Files | Delete all files added by the Load Require option from the Plugins folder in Program Data. Used to prevent older modules being picked up by FH7. If you did not use plugins in FH6 you do not need to install or run this plugin. Once run it can be deleted from your Plugin list.(V1.0) | V7 | Standard |
| Delete Recent File List | This simple plugin deletes the list of recent files under the File > Gedcom File Tasks menu. This can be useful if there are files listed that you no longer use, and is a more convenient option for modern PCs than loading the separate executable utility hosted on the Family Historian User Group site.(V1.1.1) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| DNA Lists Helper | This small plugin returns lists of people who fit the following Direct Paternal Line Direct Maternal Line MtDNA Matches Y Chromosome Matches It will prompt for a person to start from and then return a result set. The result column can then be saved to a named list for use on diagrams etc, to highlight matches for any of those situations.(V1.1) | V6 | Standard |
| Export Gedcom File | Exports GEDCOM and Media files in GEDCOM 5·5 or GEDCOM 5·5·1 format usually without FH non-standard tags, but with options for many genealogy product dialects. See the Help & Advice pages for further details that include specific advice on migrating to every GEDCOM Destination product supported. 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.(V6.4) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Export Public GEDCOM File | This new plugin provides an alternative and simpler method for exporting your tree plus optional supporting data such as media and outline source citations in a common format optimised for current family history applications and websites, with all references to individuals marked as either Living or Private removed automatically. It is aimed principally at users who wish to produce a tree suitable for public presentation for their extended family, or to attract other researchers with a common interest. It concentrates on people and facts, while supporting data such as media, sources and basic notes can be included or omitted as required. By omitting more specialised Family Historian features such as detailed witnesses, source template structure and more complex citations, it dispenses with most of the complex configuration options needed to tailor this additional data (which may be of limited interest to the target audience) for the extremely wide range of GEDCOM dialects across both current and legacy destinations. (V1.0.1) | V7 | Standard |
| Fact Calendar | Simple Fact Calendar created in HTML which shows for the people selected all Births Baptisms Marriages Deaths Burials As normal with the Record selector you can easily use the Add by Query option to select the people you want to include.(V1.0) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| Family Anniversaries | Simple plugin which lists all Births, Baptisms and Marriages, which have anniversaries in the next 7 days, as a result set.(V1.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Find All Hashtags |
Returns a list of all Hashtags found in the currently selected records (of any type), plus Shared Notes and Research Notes linked from those records. The plugin searches for any hashtag in the format '[[#TagName tag value]]' and captures both the tag name and its value. Only the first instance of each tag in any field is returned, together with a count of the number of tags found. A link is provided to each field where a tag is found, to enable quick navigation to it in the Property Box.
For Individual records, the plugin will also check the spouse family records.
If no records are selected, the plugin will use the current property box record if one exists.

| Find Date Phrases | Finds all Date's with Date Phrases in Individuals, Families and Sources. It produces a Result window with them all listed. This would also make a good base to build an automatic correction plugin when importing files from other systems which include non-standard dates.(V1.4) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| Find Duplicate Citations | Finds all Facts with more than 1 citation to the same source and optionally deletes second and subsequent citations. It is recommended that the list option is used first to allow checking of the items to be deleted, before using the delete option.(V2.1) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Find Duplicate Custom IDs | Simple plugin which searches all record types, for duplicate custom Ids, this can be of use when renumbering your records, using the Work With Record Identifier tool, or after merging additional data. N.B It ignores records without custom IDs(V1.3) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Find Duplicate Facts | Run this to find Facts of the same type with the same Date and optionally with completely identical sub-fields in any one record. The minimum details that must match are the Fact name and its Date, plus its Value if an Attribute. Use the tick options to select which sub-fields to check. The Remove/Enable Ticks button toggles between minimal and maximum checks. For any ticked option, all associated subsidiary fields are also checked, e.g. Source Citation (SOUR) checks that all citations are identical including the Source record, Assessment, Date, Where Within Source, Text From Source, Notes, Media, and Template Fields. All white-space and control characters are disregarded when comparing text fields such as Notes and Text From Source, i.e. only printable characters are checked. Click the X Close icon to abort the Plugin. The Find Facts button invokes the search and if any duplicates are found then lists them in a Result Set. 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.(V1.4) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| Find Duplicate Individuals | Finds potentially duplicated Individual records by comparing the Names and key Events of selected Individuals and their immediate Relations. 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.(V3.9) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Find Duplicate LatLong | It is not unusual for multiple Place records to be geocoded with the same Latitude/Longitude and their plots superimposed in the Map Window making them difficult to spot. This plugin lists such duplicated Latitude/Longitude values giving each set a unique id. 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.(V1.0) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| Find Duplicate Place Names |
List any Place records whose tidied names would be duplicates and thus should be merged.
Variations due to the placement of commas and spaces, or the case of letters are disregarded.
The duplicate Place records are listed in a Result Set.
To merge Place records, first select either the Original Record or the Duplicate Record, whichever is the variant to keep.
Use the Edit > Merge/Compare Records... command and select the other Place record before completing the Merge.

| Find Research Hashtags | Returns a list of Research Hashtags (#ToDo,#Research,#ResearchLink) found in the currently selected records (of any type), plus Shared Notes and Research Notes linked from those records. Only the first instance of each tag in any field is returned, together with a count of the number of tags found. A link to each field where a Research Tag is found, to enable quick navigation to it in the Property Box. For Individual records, the plugin will also check the spouse family records. If no records are selected, the plugin will use the current property box record if one exists.(V1.0) | V7 | Standard |
| Fix Date Fields | List or mend various Date Phrases and unusual Date fields imported from other products. Caters for Ancestry, FTM, PAF, Pedigree, PediTree, RootsMagic, et al. The mended Date fields conform to Family Historian and GEDCOM specified formats. The Pedigree quarter dates use a standard date format of (approx.)/circa Month Year but only for Feb, May, Aug & Nov. So the plugin checks for similar format dates in the other eight months and if found inhibits the Pedigree date fixes. 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.(V1.5) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Flexible CSV Importer | Reads 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 essential. See the online Help for additional advice. The plugin can optionally append a source to every entry, and can create different citation details (i.e. "Where within 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 references 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 intended when creating this was for the import of a variety of data that a one-name or place study might be interested in. For example, baptism transcripts that may include birth and baptism names, parental names and address all in one line. Custom references allow for individuals to be linked across lines of the CSV to create larger family records, e.g. where the same parents had multiple children baptised. This plugin is mostly intended for use in a new Project, but can link to individuals already present in the Project using their Custom Id or Record Id. Please check the import results carefully and report any bugs 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.(V1.9.6) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Format UniqueID | The UniqueID (tag = '_UID') field for an Individual Record in a Family History application is intended to serve as a globally unique identifier for that individual as trees are exported and imported between different applications. Although most applications that support the UniqueID (e.g. Family Historian from version 7, RootsMagic, Legacy, My Family Tree) use the same basic method of calculation, there are a number of different formats in use that limit ready comparison of UniqueID values from different applications. This plugin provides a reversible conversion between the three main formats in common use (with or without checksum, and hyphenated or non-hyphenated).(V1.2) | V7 | Standard |
| FTP Website Manager | Allows easy uploading and updating of a Family Historian Website. Please read the help for detailed instructions. When run it builds a database of the pages and on a second run only uploads the pages which have changed. Note: If you include the current date in the pages this will class as all pages having changed. V1.1 Fix Module Loader problem V1.2 If one File Fails give option to continue upload. V1.3 Change ftp.lua module to use "PASV" for rootsweb. Fix "DELE" source 'no such file' error. Fix 'Cancel' from settings prompt. Handle subfolders. Allow prime ' in settings. Other minor fixes. All commented with -- V1.3 (Thanks Mike)(V1.3) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Gendex Creator For Website Folder | Creates GedDex File for Created Web Site for use with the gendexnetwork.org index. This relatively new indexing site, provides a shared index for web hosted files. This plugin will create the needed file in your Website folder, which it prompts for on startup. Only Individuals who have either a Individual Summary page or are the spouse on a Family Group sheet page will be included in the index file. Additionally Individuals with either the Living or Private Flag will be excluded from the index automatically. 1.1 New Date converter and added missing Surname field.(V1.1) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Give Witnesses Their Own Facts | This plugin is intended for Projects imported from products such as TMG and Legacy that support Fact Witness Roles, where it may be desirable to remove certain selected Witness Roles from Facts and create separate Facts for the Witness Individuals instead. The most common case is Census Witnesses, where separate Individual Census Events with a common Source Citation are better supported, as explained in the FHUG Knowledge Base Recording from a Census Record article. All the details of the principal Fact are replicated in each witness's own Fact except for any Age or specific Sentence Template. The witness Role is added as a labelled Note optionally enclosed in [[privacy]] brackets. After removing the Witnesses of Census (family) Events consider using the Migrate Census Family to Individual Events plugin. Before running the plugin, ensure there is a suitable backup in case the changes are unsatisfactory. 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.(V1.5) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| GRO BMD Index Citations | Add a GRO Index Source Citation to an birth, marriage or death with GRO reference in Where Within and additional information in Text from Source; event is created or optionally updated with the date and/or place. Options include setting birth date from Age, year of birth or date of birth from a Death citation and adding a citation to the birth mother's name (creating the mother's record if required) from a Birth citation. Each event (Birth, Marriage and Death) has a dedicated form with just the fields relevant to that event. The forms have fields for all the possible GRO reference items which are then included in the Where Within Source with user specified labels. Where the event already exists, a dialog shows the existing date and place and the date and place for the citation being created and allows the user to choose whether to update the date and/or place or just add the citation. Note that this plugin is for use with 'lumped' sources whereby multiple citations are created pointing to a single source for each event type (birth, marriage of death) or a single source for all GRO citations. Full details of all the features of this plugin are included in the additional help linked below.(V1.2) | V7 | Standard |
| GRO Source Reference | Add a GRO Index Source Citation to an Event and optionally create the event and or set the fields. This version is derived from 'Add GRO Index Source Citation' V1.0 by Mike Tate which in turn was derived from 'Add GRO Source' V1.3 by Jane Taubman. The primary difference is the dynamic behaviour of the UI and awareness of the changes in the GRO index information over time. Also, it provides the ability for user definable formats for the GRO Index citation using auto-text style fields. The formats can also specify a date range the format applies to, so they are auto-filtered in the format selection list for convenience. The plug-in comes with a default set of formats which can be modified or replaced as desired. The main dialog is very similar to that of 'Add GRO Index Source Citation', with some fields separated out from the original and some new fields added. A format customisation dialog, shows the formats defined for the current register type, and allows addition/update/removal of them. (V1.5) | V7 | Standard |
| Import FamilySearch ID From RootsMagic | This plugin recovers FamilySearch ID values from a RootsMagic database that are otherwise discarded when the database is imported into Family Historian 7. Family Historian does not display FamilySearch ID values by default. The recommended method for viewing the data is to customise the main tab of the Property Box. Note that Family Historian does not currently synchronize with FamilySearch. (V1.0.1) | V7 | Standard |
| Import From PAF | Moves PAF Tagged Notes to associated Fact Data References, moves _UID & _AKA UDF, and mends Date Phrase dates. See the Help and Advice for full details. Ensure there is a suitable backup before running this plugin.(V2.4) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Improve Website or CD DVD HTML |
This plugin improves many features of the Family Historian HTML pages created by the Publish menu Websites & Family Tree CD/DVDs... wizard. Most of the features can be added and removed by enabling and disabling their associated options.

| Install FHUG Icon Packs | Installs downloaded icon packs to the Family Historian icon folder, for use on diagrams. More information on using icons on diagrams can be found in the help and in the knowledge base at FHUG. The plugin will prompt for a zip file and create a subfolder in the FH icon folder with the same name as the zip file and add any bitmap (bmp) graphics files in to the folder. It will overwrite existing files with matching names. You can find a selection of Icon Packs to use with the plug in on FHUG. Icons for Family Historian at fhug.org.uk The first time you run this plugin you may be prompted to download an additional zip extension, if this happens and you have internet connection the zip extension will be downloaded and installed. 1.1 Fix problem where zip files have directories in them.(V1.1) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Keyword Update | Update Keywords for a selection of Media records. Existing used keywords are shown alphabetically, with counts, and the user can add further keywords. Then the user selects one or more keywords to be added to the selection of Media records, replacing any existing keywords on those records. If the plugin was started without selecting the required Media records, the user is prompted to make a selection. The updated records are displayed as a Result Set.(V1.5) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Language Pack Tester | This plugin is for the use of language pack authors only, for testing language plugins. Instructions for using it are stored in the plugin itself, just below the header. Currently it only tests the FH_GetDateText entry point. However in the future it could be extended to test any entry point.(V1.1) | V7 | Standard |
| Link Lister | This plugin will find all records that are linked From or To the currently selected record, or the Property Box record if there is no selected record. It displays the From Record, the Field that contains the link (with its parent field and date if any for context), and the To Record. Clicking on items in the result set allows you to navigate to them in the Property Box.(V1.0) | V7 | Standard |
| List All Citations for a Selected Source | Find all the citations to a Source and list the items below using a result window. * Citation * Record * Fact * Entry Date * Where within source * Text From Source * Quality Assessment * Note (V1.6) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| List All Civil Registration Index Citations | Lists all citations to all sources created from the Civil Registration Index template. For each citation it displays the fields: Record, Fact, Source, Name Recorded, Date, Registration District, Reference, Assessment and Note. It also inserts a separate Sortable Date column to allow the citations to be sorted chronologically to work around an FH sorting bug (ticket #712190). Note: This plugin is for templated sources only.(V1.0) | V7 | Standard |
| List All Related Media | Lists all media, which is linked to the individual or the Family as Spouse of the Individual or Sources linked to the Individual. To quickly view in the media window, from the result set, hit CTRL-A to select all fields and then select View Selected Records from the drop down on the media button. N.B Only media records are listed, locally attached media is not shown.(V1.1) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| List Fact Witness Details | This lists both Name Only and linked Individual fact witness details including the Role, Source and Note together with the Fact Principal and Witnessed Fact description. An initial Select Individual Records dialogue allows any set of Individuals to be searched to discover their Fact Witness Roles. Name Only witnesses are always listed even if no Individuals are chosen by selecting the Cancel option when selecting Individuals.(V1.1) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| List principals who are witnesses | Creates a Result set listing all witness links for the principals of a fact. This can be used by highlighting some or all of the Witness column and pressing delete to remove witnesses to their own events. This is useful as a witness sentence is used in preference to a fact sentence, but imported data may include these links, but the sentence is not required in reports.(V1.1) | V7 | Standard |
| Lookup Missing BMD Records | Searches selected people for chosen BMD Records and produces a web page to invoke searches of online websites for any missing records. It offers BMD Records for England, Scotland, Wales, British Isles, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Worldwide. Supports Ancestry, FindMyPast, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, and FindAGrave online research websites. Estimated BMD dates are used, where none are recorded. Women's married names are used where the event is after the marriage date (or after the birth of the first child). 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.(V2.9) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Lookup Missing Census Facts | Offers ways of looking up missing Census Records for the UK, USA, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Germany, Denmark & Norway via online websites. Supports Ancestry, FindMyPast, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, and Canadian Government online research websites. Individual facts, Family facts, Witnessed facts, and various other factors are taken into consideration. Estimated BMD dates are used, where none are recorded. Women’s married names are used where the Census is after the marriage date (or after the birth of the first child). 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.(V5.3) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Lumped Source Splitter | 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.(V1.5) | V7 | Standard |
| Map Life Facts | A mapping tool that can sync with Place records and create maps on web pages that display geocoded 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.(V6.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Marriage Length Report | Reports Families with marriage dates, calculating the Marriage length taking into account, deaths of partners and divorce. Please note where there are no death dates, Estimated Death values are used and can result in long marriages.(V1.1) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Migrate Census Family to Individual Events | This is for Projects imported from other products that use Census (family) Events, where it may be desirable to convert them to two Individual Census Events instead. Two Individual Census Events with a common Source Citation are better supported, as explained in the FHUG Knowledge Base Recording from a Census Record article. See the Give Witnesses Their Own Facts plugin that may need to be run first. Before running the plugin, ensure there is a suitable backup in case the changes are unsatisfactory. 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.(V1.3) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Migrate Place Long Lat to Place Records | This plug in copies any Gedcom 5,5,1 Longitude and Latitude values from Event Place fields to Place records. Note it overwrites any existing values for Fact places which have values. It is mainly used when moving from programs such as Family Tree Maker which store the values against the fact when the Gedcom is created. If there are different values with the same place name the last one found will be the one which is used. Examples from FTM have never shown this to occur.(V1.1) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| Move Local Media to Media Records (Deprecated) | FH V7.0 File > Validate... and File > Project Window... > New Project... now offer similar features, so this plugin will be deleted in due course. Moves all Local Media Objects (LMO) to Media Records that are much better supported by Family Historian. Such LMO may be derived from imported or merged GEDCOM from other products. Both FH V6.2 GEDCOM 5.5 and FH V7.0 GEDCOM 5.5.1 are supported. It excludes any LMO that conform to the Sort Date format used in FH V6.2. It includes LMO in invalid positions registered as UDF, but relocates them to the parent item, e.g. an LMO on an Address will become a Media record linked to the parent Fact. If multiple LMO have identical values, such as the same File path, then only one shared Media Record is created. If most other Media files are in the Project Media folder, then each LMO file is copied there too, leaving the original behind. Invalid data will move to the Custom Id in the Media Record.(V1.1) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Move Note URL to Rich Text Web Link |
Convert any Note or Text From Source fields with an unformatted URL and optional codes into the Rich Text active Web Link <web="URL"> format.
On completion, the plugin will optionally list all the converted URL in a Result Set.
The plugin handles the http://, https://, and ftp:// URL protocol formats with safe, reserved, unreserved, and most unsafe characters.
This is useful for GEDCOM exported from FTM 2019 where Source Citations have Web address URL held in _LINK tags that are imported by FH into local Note fields. The plugin will convert them to Rich Text active Web Link format.
Another use is for handling custom attribute facts with auto-created local Note text containing URL as explained below.
The Tools > Fact Types... command must be used to define a custom attribute in which the Fact Definition dialogue, Advanced... button, Auto-Create Note: field, specifies a URL with a format such as:
See https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/{value}/ "{individual's} {value} FamilySearch" page.
When the custom attribute is added to an Individual, that text is automatically inserted into the local Note field and the user enters the attribute value, which is the unique part of the website URL.
The plugin converts that URL and the {value} and {individual's} codes to the Rich Text active Web Link format such as:
See <web="https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LH3-6Y/","John Smith's LH3-6Y FamilySearch"> page.
That is displayed in the Note text as: See John Smith's LH3-6Y FamilySearch page.

| Multifact | There are some occasions on which it would be really useful to be able to create one or more facts for a one or more individuals using the same source and some shared data. Ancestral Sources does this for the most common source types, but there are sources it doesn't handle. For example: - You have a passenger list and want to create an Emigration fact for all the members of a family, with the same source citation details, and some common fact details (e.g.departure and arrival places, date, a note about the ship they travelled on...) - You have an electoral roll and want to create a Residence fact for all those living at the same address, again with the same source citation details and with a common date, place and address. - You have a military service record and want to create a number of facts for the same individual (service number, enlistment, ....). In this case the source citation details may not all be the same (e.g. where in source will vary) and the fact details will all be different, but it might still be convenient to create all the facts at once before going in to edit the specific details for each one). Yes, it's possible to achieve the same thing using Autosource citation, and copying and pasting facts, but sometimes that's a lot of work and prone to missing something/somebody. The Multifact plugin (attached) allows you to choose a single (existing) Source and optionally fill in some or all citation details for it; one or more Individuals; and one or more Fact types. You can then specify some all or no common fact details (date, age, place, etc.) and create a set of identical facts for all the individuals selected. The plugin keeps an on-screen log of all the facts you've created, so you can make several batches without exiting the plugin but keep track of what you have and haven't done. And when you do exit the plugin, the facts created are presented in FH ready for further editing (not everyone will have the same age at emigration, for example, so you will need to add age to each individual emigration fact.) If you have a problem with the plugin please contact me via my 'author link'. Note to FH7 users: Multifact will NOT be upgraded to work with FH7.(V1.9.1) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Note Records with Options |
Report on one or more Note records with Custom Id or Note Text or user-chosen Heading Level 1 text and Privacy bracket text options.

V7 | Report |
| Notes List for Individual | Lists all Notes linked to a selected Individual. Works best if Added to Tools Menu. Then select an Individual (in Focus or Records window or Diagram) and click on the entry in the Tools Menu. It takes a few seconds to find all the Notes and format the output; if there are none a message to that effect appears quickly.(V1.3) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Occupations Per Census Year and Gender | Creates a Result Set of counts of Occupations for each Census Year and Gender derived from your Project or GEDCOM. Supports Occupation Date Ranges & Periods and checks that the Individual or their Spouse Family has a Census Event in the relevant Year. 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.(V1.6) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Order Facts by Sort Date (Deprecated) | Since FH v7 introduced built-in Sort Dates (_SDATE) early in 2022, this deprecated plugin now has little purpose and will be deleted in due course. In FH v6 sort Facts according to their synthesised LMO Sort Date or in FH v7 turn each LMO/Media Sort Date into a real Sort Date. In FH v6 any missing LMO Sort Date may be derived from a GEDCOM _SDATE, Note "Sort Date:", actual Fact Date, synthetic date, etc. Allows Sort Dates to be imported from products such as TMG and exported to products such as GedSite via the Export Gedcom File Plugin. See the Help and Advice for details.(V1.3) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Place Exceptions | Place records can misspell names or misplace plots so this plugin tries to identify such exceptions. The user settings adjust the analysis algorithms and it produces five types of abnormality report in a Result Set. See the Help & Advice that explains the user settings, interprets the reports, and offers diagnostic techniques.(V1.2) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| Place Summary Report | Counts and Lists All Places in the File. Similar to FH Standard report "Data - Places" but: (a) Place parts can be reversed before sorting. (b) Count is to the left of the Place.(V1.0) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Plugin Renamer | Renames plugins removing underlines from plugin names, to deal with problems caused by IE8 replacing spaces with underlines when downloading under windows 7. Once run all plugins will have no underlines in them and can be updated using the Plugin "Check Installed Plugins Against The Store".(V1.0) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Possible Problem Report | Lists all Possible Date Problems, similar the standard Fact Date Warning Query, but ignores those facts marked using Possible Problem Marker Plugin.(V1.0) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Possible Problem Set Ignore Report Markers | Companion to Possible Problem report, this allows Events to be marked as "Ignore" so that they are not listed on the Possible Problem Report. 1.1 Correct Source details and version ID(V1.1) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Quick Family Facts | Displays a pop-up summary of close relatives & events for any chosen person. Click any person to alter focus. Useful for matching names when reviewing Census and Electoral records, etc. Use Windows Snipping Tool to capture and print. If added to the Tools menu, can be invoked with the Alt T Q shortcut. Use the Centre Window button to ensure the plugin window is always centred over the FH window on any monitor screen. Alternatively, the plugin window can be moved and its new position is remembered. The plugin window can be resized and remembered, but if its top left corner is moved that new position is remembered. 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.(V1.4) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Rearrange Address and Place Parts | Allows any Address and Place comma-separated column parts to be re-arranged by mapping any source part to any target part. Any Address part that duplicates a Place part may be enclosed in [[privacy]] brackets to hide them in Reports. Otherwise, any Address part that duplicates a Place part, or Place part that duplicates an Address part, may be erased. It also allows the Address or Place fields to be right or left justified. A subset of Place records may be selected before running the plugin or a subset of Address & Place combinations may be selected via the plugin Input Filter tab.(V1.8) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Record Baptism Data (England and Wales) | Based on the format of the England and Wales Parish register before and after 1813, it allows details of baptism facts to be recorded, as well as details of parents and celebrants, creating records as necessary. Only entry of information about the principal is mandatory.(V1.6) | V7 | Source Driven Data Entry (DEA) |
| Record Birth Data (UK) | Based on the format of the England and Wales Birth Certificate since 1837, it allows details of birth and residence facts to be recorded, as well as details of parents and informants, creating records as necessary. Only entry of information about the principal is mandatory.(V1.7) | V7 | Source Driven Data Entry (DEA) |
| Record Burial Data (UK) | Based on the Church of England Burial Register, creates burial and residence facts, and optionally a birth fact.(V1.5) | V7 | Source Driven Data Entry (DEA) |
| Record Census Data (UK) | This plugin allows the entry of details about multiple individuals and creates records for them if needed, as well as recording census, occupation and birth facts. Where religion is recorded in the census, a religion fact is also created. Supports most surviving UK and Ireland Censuses. England and Wales 1841 - 1921 plus 1939 Register. Scotland 1841 - 1921. Isle of Man 1841 - 1921 (you should create an Isle of Man region). Channel Islands 1841 - 1921 (you should create a Channel Islands region). Ireland 1901 - 1911. (There was no census in Ireland or Northern Ireland in 1921). Note: The Welsh form was slightly different to the English one, so if the Location selected for the Census does not end in England or Wales in years where there was a difference, the plugin will prompt to ask if the English or Welsh form should be used.(V1.8) | V7 | Source Driven Data Entry (DEA) |
| Record Civil Registration Data (UK) | Designed to work with the "Civil Registration Index" source template from the Essentials collection, this will add the related facts for birth, death or marriage to an existing fact. The required minimum Source information is Type, Region, Name and Date.(V1.7) | V7 | Source Driven Data Entry (DEA) |
| Record Death Data (UK) | Based on the format of the England and Wales Death Certificate since 1837, this plugin allows entry of all details including informant, residences, etc.(V1.3) | V7 | Source Driven Data Entry (DEA) |
| Record Marriage Data (UK) | Based on the format of the England and Wales Marriage Certificate/Parish Register since 1837, it allows creation of marriage, occupation and residence facts. It also supports creation of one or all of the records for the individuals involved. Only entry of details for the two principals is mandatory.(V1.4) | V7 | Source Driven Data Entry (DEA) |
| Refresh Source Record Auto Titles | This plugin is used to refresh titles for all Source records in the current project that have auto titling enabled. Auto titling is only (optionally) supported for templated Source records. It normally occurs (if enabled) whenever changes are made to the fields in the Source record. Use of this plugin is only needed if you make changes to the Record Title Format in one or more Source Template records, and wish to apply those changes to existing Source records.(V1.0) | V7 | Standard |
| Relatedness Report (Genetic) | Based on the percentages here: https://thednageek.com/the-limits-of-predicting-relationships-using-dna/ This version shows the ranges for the groups over .4 percent. The table controlling the range values is right at the top of the source code if you want to try tweaking it. Please note this version does not take into account Adoptions or Step relationships correctly at this time as there is no easy way to detect them.(V1.3) | V6 V7 | Standard |
| Rename Selected Source Media | This plugin renames the Media records and also the media files (in the Media project folder or external) that are associated with the selected Source records, so that their names match the Source record title as closely as possible. It will add a numeric suffix to ensure uniqueness if necessary. Caution: This plugin renames external Windows media files associated with source records. 'Undo plugin updates' won't restore the original filename. When renaming a media file that is used in other projects as well, links to that media file in the other projects will no longer work, unless and until you repair them. Warning: Windows does not support certain characters in the filename. The plugin will replace these with ~ and report the replacement(s) in the result set.(V1.5) | V7 | Standard |
| Rename Source Media | Like all source-driven data entry plugins, this plugin is designed primarily to be run from the Citation Window when viewing a prepared citation to a Source record. It is intended to make it easy to ensure consistent naming for associated media. It renames the Media records and usually also the media files that are associated with the Source record or the prepared citation, so that their names match the Source record title, as closely as possible. It will add a numeric suffix to ensure uniqueness if necessary. Bear in mind that each media item is represented within Family Historian by a Media record which in turn stores the details of the actual media file. The media file may be kept either within the project folder or externally (you get asked about this when the media is added to the project). If the media files are kept within the project, the plugin will rename the media files without prompting for confirmation. However, if the media files are not kept within the project but are external, it will ask for confirmation before renaming them. Be aware that if a media file is used in other projects as well as the current one, if you rename the media file, links to that media file in the other projects will no longer work, unless and until you repair them. If this plugin is run from the Plugins Window, there may not be a prepared citation. In that case, it will prompt the user to select the required Source record. In this case, it will not look at media linked to any citations associated with that Source record, prepared or otherwise. Caution: this plugin can potentially rename media files that are external to the current project. If you have multiple Family Historian projects that store links to the same media files, this might not be what you want.(V1.4) | V7 | Source Driven Data Entry (DEA) |
| Replace Selected Source Citations | Allows a set of Source Citations to be selected by various criteria in order to replace their old Source Record with a new Source Record and optionally delete various Source Citation fields. If any field 'contains' box is left blank, then that matches all such fields.(V1.2) | V5 V6 V7 | Standard |
| Research Notes Report with Options |
Report on a selection of Research Notes. It uses a Title field to generate the record Header. If no Title label is specified, it defaults to "Title".
Options are provided to: Specify the field to be used as a title, include the record ID in the header, and remove the header text from the body of the note to avoid duplication.

| Research Planner | Family Historian is an excellent program for recording the results of your Family History research, but it does not come with an inbuilt mechanism for planning (or tracking) that research in a structured fashion, although there are many features you can take advantage of to do so. The Research Planner supports one approach to structured research planning and tracking. There are other approaches you may wish to consider, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, as documented at Planning and Tracking Your Research. If you're looking for a simple 'Jotter Pad' approach, Research Planner is not your solution. So, why use Research Planner? After all, Family History research is not rocket science – every genealogy researcher knows that. However, the process of: * Assessing what you already know about an individual * Determining what else you want to discover about them * Formulating a plan to discover new evidence * Executing that plan *Using any evidence found to update what you know can be surprisingly error-prone. You forget to search a particular source. You do it twice, and don't make a note of your exact search terms so you can't be sure if you need to do it yet again. You order the same birth certificate twice because you didn't make a note when you ordered it the first time, and it's still the wrong one second time around! You forget how to do that weird search you did 10 years ago for another individual, and for the life of you, you can't remember what website you used… And it's tedious to make a note to do all the standard searches for BMD when you'll remember it anyway. Usually. The Research Planner tries to make it easier to record what you intend to do, and how each search turned out, to avoid the common pitfalls as far as you can; to plan research activities based on past experience; and to keep track of your research activities. It allows you to plan and track your research Tasks either by using a custom Family Historian Fact (Attribute) or by using Family Historian Note records. It allows you to create custom tasks, optionally based on Templates that you have predefined; or to quickly create multiple standard tasks, again using templates. It supports Tags to identify Research Planner tasks, and Groups to associate related tasks; and provides a query that allows you to view tasks based on a flexible combination of filters. It is highly configurable, so you can choose what elements to use in your tasks and what to call them. It does not try to dictate methodology: you can plan and/or document your research in as much or as little detail as you like, and configure the plugin to support your approach. There is documentation at Research Planner if you want to understand more. Note for FH7 users: Research Planner will not be updated to work with FH7, as there are now built in features that replace it. I intend to write a new plugin to carry out a once-off migration of existing research tasks to use the new features. (V2.0.1) | V5 V6 | Standard |
| Rich Text Tabulation | This plugin provides a simple method to locate specific types of Rich Text in your project.
