Re: Names not in Navigation Bar but are in Focus Window and Property Box

Miketate, to add further to your answer, I’ve noticed that new individuals when inserted, are not entered into the correct ‘sorted’ or ‘filtered’ position, primarily because the sort or filter was done before the new record existed. One needs to refresh the sort or filter to get them into the correc...

Re: Get a list of people from Project 1 to Project 2

A named list only refers to people within a project, so cannot be moved from one project to another. But, there is nothing to stop you from having two separate trees within the same project. I’m sure someone with more knowledge than me, can advise on how best to move one of your trees from one proje...

Re: Disambiguation of similar individuals

You could use a Custom ID. Give each member of ‘group’ of individuals the same ID. You could then show them (and sort them) in the records window. You are not restricted in what you use for a custom ID, so you could simply use their name. E.g David Getty 1818. You could also create a common note rec...

Re: Adding marriage without a spouse

As I'm not American, and have only seen it written as Jennifer Brown Smith, I would think either of the options you suggest would work, depending how you want them sorted in the Records window :D
The important bit is knowing to use SMITH when searching for a death, burial or even another marriage.

Re: Adding marriage without a spouse

... particularly for women, the marriage is crucial to the burial record. I assume that you will still record the spouse's name somewhere, perhaps in the note to the marriage event, because as you say it is crucial when looking for a burial record. You could also add the spouse's surname as an Alte...

Re: Using Custom ID Type

I rely on Custom ID’s to identify how indivuals are related. To my direct ancestors, I assign their custom ID as J + their Ahnentafel number relative to my root ( grandsons J oshua and J acob) Then I use each father’s ID, to create each childs ID by adding a suffix to their father’s ID. So one of th...

Re: Problem with Query using pool number

Mike, I didn't include all the row expressions because apart from 1st expression, they are all exclude statements, so the resultset gets slowly narrowed down, so no chance of adding a rogue Pool with them. Nevertheless, I have taken a snapshot for you to look at. wrong pool ID Rows.jpg As for the Re...

Problem with Query using pool number

I modified an existing query, to exclude anyone not in Pool 1

i.e Exclude Unless RelationPool() equals 1

This has eliminated most of the relevant individuals, but insists on including 3 individuals who are shown as being in Pool 30!:-

Just started a new project for someone, and quickly realised that I have to re-input and geo-code all places from scratch. Does anyone know of a method of exporting places from one project, and importing them to another? If this is possible, would it not be a great idea to have a default set of UK o...

Re: How to Record 1921 Census Employment

There ‘s a gotcha when it comes people ‘out of work’, where employment shown is the last place they worked, with no indication of how long ago that was. It would therefore be wrong to date it as the same date as the census, when it could have years earlier. :D

Re: Finding the County for a list of Towns

Adding to what Mike said, it is also complicated by towns in different counties having the same name.
E.g. Loughton, a town in Essex and also in Buckinghamshire.
Me thinks this could be a long slog :D
