Thanks, tatewise, for your quick response!
I went and looked at my post you pointed me to (last year) and lo and behold, there are your two .fhq things I was talking about! Duh on me. I downloaded them again.

I thought there used to be a couple of plug-ins less than a couple of years ago, I think, because I've run them before called "ready for census" and "census citations." I could be slightly off on the names, but I hope somebody here knows what I'm talking about. Basically, the "ready for census" ran ...

Thanks for your response, tatewise! I've thought exactly what you talked about in your response, i.e., it would be better to merge the Brian FH7 into my main project, but I was on the fence about it. The problems incurred in doing otherwise would be mountains of work (trying to keep two files update...

I'm not sure what I'm going to ask can even be done, but here goes.... I have my main FH7 project file that I work off of, and I want to do a gedcom export of just my aunt's info (my mom's sister) to import into another FH7 project file. The "Brian FH7" project file I want to import her info into wa...

Mike Tate, you are a genius!!! I've run your "Ready for Census 1950" query and it's awesome! It output exactly what I wanted to know, and then some, but it's still simple enough to see at a glance who to go find. Good thing I made notes in the main property tab as to whether or not a person was not ...

Good suggestion! Thank you. Yeah, I've used named lists before and they work quite well. I also didn't mention previously that I have all of my census jpgs in their own folder, by decade, and as of this morning, I have 330 jpgs in 1940!! And that's just for the head of household (my naming conventio...

Neil and Mike: Thank you sooo much for your quick replies! It was a nice surprise to check for this morning. How I record my census entries is as follows: First, I do my census extraction form that I made in Word and all decades are exactly like the National Archives forms (that way, I've got specif...

Need help with a query! I'm not going to pretend to know how to do what I want, so I'm asking for this group's extensive knowledge of how to do this. The 1950 U.S. Federal Census has just come out, and granted it will take a while to all be put online but that's irrelevant at the moment. Here's what...

Thank you, Lorna and Tatewise! You are fountains of information, as are the other previous posters with replies. At this point, I have no plans to do the geocoding. And I suppose if I ever did, I could do yet another handy-dandy Edit>Find and change these two fields again (and that would be if I don...

Thank you for that "Rearrange Place...." suggestion. Chances are, I won't be doing that because there's more info to put in on these names, so it's yet another list of things to look at when in FH ;), but at least I know about going that route . The list created is in record ID order but that could ...

CVG-- I just did your Edit>Find and it worked!!!!!!!!! I put in just the word "Cemetery" to find, unchecked all the boxes except "Address" and did the report. I created the csv, brought it up and saved it as an Excel-->Libre Office file, checked the first name on the list and by golly, it's gotta be...

Thank you, CVG, for your quick reply! I think you've got it backwards, though, on how I'm inputting the place/address. But no matter because according to the Gedcom definition you included for both, I think I'm doing it correctly. To me, it makes sense that the place=the name of the cemetery and the...

Things with FH have been going swimmingly since I last posted for help! Yay! But here's my conundrum: I've noticed when putting in death certificate info (still playing catch-up with that) that when info was brought over from RM7 to FH6, the place/address fields for burial are inverted in FH6 becaus...

Nevermind!! I figured it out. The kids show up on his tab when the second spouse tab is activated. My bad.

Kind of a weird issue and I didn't notice it until now. I'm sure there's an answer, I just don't know what it is! In looking at a couple I was inputting 1870 census info for, I noticed that the children of the couple were under the female spouse in the "Main" tab of the property box and not under th...

Thank you soooo much for your reply! I had not messed with the normal time frame setting on the obit fact, and did not know or think to go look at that. It was, indeed, set on "Life" and I changed it to "Post-Death." Whew! That should have done the trick and I'll know shortly as I look at death/obit...

This particular issue has been bugging me for days, but I'm just now posting about it. Y'all have been very helpful when I first started with FH6 (I dropped RM7), and I'm stumped on what I'm going to describe. Otherwise, things have been going swimmingly with the program and I love it! On death/obit...

Mike: Your "Where Used Record Links" plug-in is brilliant!! Since I am now correcting data before any more actual data input into my project, this plug-in has been invaluable on finding what source goes with who, making a csv report and bringing it into Excel and then highlighting that line (or line...

Boy, did I open up a hornet's nest on this subject, or what? :) I'm thankful for the clarifications and other input, though. And now for another question: since everything came in as a "fact" from RM7, do I have to do anything with them such as change something that should be an event or an attribut...

Thank you both for your answers! I was going to reply this morning but I've been busy *all* day off and on deleting _UID numbers which were output in the Unidentified Data References plug-in report. There's more stuff to look at from the report, but I started there. At any rate, I do understand the ...

No doubt by now you know I'm a new user of FH6, coming from RM7. Yes, I've read and have screen-shotted the KB article about Events and Attributes for future reference (in addition to my v6 book), but I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around the umbrella term of "fact" and it being broken...

Point taken, Mike, and I didn't see your post as a rebuke :) I am thinking like you, in that any irregularities such as the UDF, etc. should be dealt with before attempting AS. I as think I mentioned previously, I did run the project statistics, saving its reports, and will be looking at what it cam...

Thanks for the Ancestral Sources info, and I'm in the process of checking that out; have the link to it open in my browser tab.

Once again, Mike, thank you for your detailed answer. I appreciate your time and effort. Being no stranger to genealogy and genealogy research since the early 1990's I've used my share of genealogy software, starting with Family Tree and then moving to Legacy and then to TMG and then when TMG was no...

Thanks, Mike, for your reply!! I have a bunch of Knowledgebase articles open in my browser for FH6, and I won't be doing *any* data entry until I get all this stuff sorted out. Thanks also for the info on the gravestone pic. Don't even ask me what the he__ I was thinking 19 years ago when I put them...
