Frequently Asked Question

First, make sure you are on the latest version of Family Historian (to do that, click ‘Check for Updates’ on the Help menu). Then if, for example, you used ‘Military Begins’ in TMG, after importing into FH you should see ‘Military Begins’ listed as a fact in the Facts tab of the Property Box (main data entry window) for the individuals who have this tag. If you wish to edit it, click on the Tools menu, and then Fact Types. TMG fact definitions by default will be imported as a collection called “TMG Import (Project)”. The word ‘Project’ means that the TMG fact definitions have only been imported into the current project; but you can share them with other projects if you want to. You should see ‘Military-Begin’ listed within this collection. Select it and click the Edit button. Within the window that appears, click the Help button for detailed help on editing fact definitions.
