Check first that the Family records are identical. May be better to merge them.

A heads up the version 7.0.21 is now available.

Using the Export Gedcom File as Mike suggested I uploaded a new tree to The Genealogist with the following results, a big increase in individual facts/events, sources, citations and notes as would be expected. I haven't downloaded and reimported to FH7 yet.

I think you need to analyse the TreeView data more closely to make objective judgements. Perhaps export a GEDCOM file and review that in detail or import it to FH and check the File Statistics. My guess is you uploaded the FH V7 GEDCOM in 5.5.1 format and TreeView expects 5.5 format. I suspect the ...

As a matter of interest, how do you get from The Genealogist website to that TreeView website? I've searched The Genealogist and can find no reference to that site or any free options. Am I looking at something different? Yes, you are on the Genealogist website. The Treeview website is a separate o...

2664+1+29+17 = 2711 sources!
Places seem to be part of facts.
No media records uploaded.

I haven't found a link from The Genealogist to the TreeView site there seems to be a disconnect in this respect.

I have just copied my FH 7 tree and am importing it now. I report back when the import has completed. The import completed after about 70 mins. No errors were reported and message stated Gedcom file succesfully imported as follows: 4681 Individuals 1205 Families 17457 Individual Facts/Events 957 Fa...

Hi Mike,

I believe that link will answer your questions. it gives a comparison of the paid offline Treeview and the free online options. The Premium editions has a list of 'extras' which are not show in this screenshot:

So, start a new a tree and you get these screen:

https://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/researchguide/treeview/?search=import Uploading an existing tree One of the benefits of using TreeView is that you can access your tree wherever you go. So if you access the internet from local libraries you can login to your account from there or login from a relati...

Thank you for that link, a very interesting and useful website.

Gary, yes it was in the latest version 5.2.5 but only arose because David had "not run any earlier versions of the plugin". It was an initialisation error that only appears for 'virgin' users. That is absolutely correct. I have now obtained a Bing Key (using your instructions to get one the right l...

Mike; Was the noted error reported against your last improvement for v5.2.5? I didn't get the same error and would like to know whether it is present in the last posted version. Sorry, that is a silly typo :oops: Are you up for a quick Plugin edit? Via the Plugin Window, Edit... the Map Life Facts ...

Hi Mike,
I have just downloaded MapLifeFacts 5.25 and run it on the Sample Project - I immediately get this message I have not run any earlier versions of the plugin

Some check boxes in the attached screen shot are coloured orange. Does anyone know why this is, I an find nothing in the help. Thank you Screenshot 2023-04-24 214514.jpg David, May I make a suggestion. If you put house number AFTER street name, you’ll find they sort much better, so both Pine Street...

Thank you Lorna, I had missed that!

In daylight I see they are pink. I have now unmarked as tentative using map menu -> geocoding. I had already disabled auto-geocoding and blocked refresh for non-tentative geocodes.

Hi all,

Just a heads up that Version 7.0.20 is now available

I used those steps recently and it worked fine to allow AS to run. You have to do the same for some plugins, as well as other programs (eg FTM)

Yes thanks Nick

If you Right Click on the Column Headings bar you obtain the option to configure the Columns as you wish. I think the File Name and Folder columns need to be configured after the update to the version.
