Family Historian Software: Customisation of Family Historian

Not only is Family Historian one of the best programs on the market but there are also lots of things to configure to get the best from it. This lecture is the next in the Society of Genealogists’ series of lectures on the Calico Pie Family Historian software package. 

We will explore the options that you have in the (Calico Pie) Family Historian Software package, concentrating on the current version (7) and will look at the pros and cons of each method.

This tutorial only covers the Family Historian software package from Calico Pie. It does not cover any other software packages.
