Data Entry with the Property Box

The Property Box is the main data entry window. It is shown here with the Citation List Pane displayed (yellow panel at the bottom).

Pictures and Multimedia

Pictures and other multimedia are shared resources in Family Historian. If a picture shows several people, for example, you will normally link it to all the people in the picture. The Media Window allows you to view all the media in the current project, or any subset, using whatever filter you want.

Interactive Diagrams and Smart Trees

Family Historian diagrams are interactive. They are used in numerous ways – for browsing and exploring, for data entry (by click-and-drag), for editing, and for creating charts to print out or send to others. Diagrams include Family Historian’s All Relatives diagram, the All Relatives + Indirect Relatives diagram, and the Everyone diagram.

Sources and Source Citations

The main data entry window for source citation details is the Citation Window. Source records can optionally use source templates, as in the example above which uses the Book/Pamphlet/Monograph template. Source templates allow easier and more accurate recording of source information, and make possible more professional-looking citing of sources in reports.

Research Notes

Research notes are separate from ordinary notes. Different styles of research notes are available, designed for logs, plans, or task lists; but you can design your own types to suit your preferred way of working. You can link records to research notes. Research notes support full word processing features, so you can also insert links to any records into research notes.

The Map Window

Use the Map Window to map the locations of all the places and events in your projects. View family movements over time using the Time Slider. Choose any combination of people and events, and filter on event types, using the same or different markers.

Explore Your Records

The Records Window allows you to search and explore your records. You can sort on any column, and configure columns to display whatever information you like. Use filters to quickly find the records you’re looking for.

Reports

Family Historian comes with 43 standard reports, and you can create your own custom reports. All reports are highly configurable.Reports can be saved in PDF format, as word-processor documents (in Rich Text Format), as web pages (HTML format), or as text files.

Create Books & Booklets

Create professional-looking family tree books and booklets, with a mix of auto-generated chapters and your own ‘free text’ pages and chapters. Add any reports, charts or diagrams to your books, as well as a title page, contents page, index page, and so on.
