Reports in pdf

You could use the utility CutePDF which enable you to 'print' (it's really a save) any file/report to a PDF file.

Sources

Thanks Jane. That's exactly what I did and my Sources, which appear in alphabetical order in the standard Sources tab, are also in Record Id order. However, in the GEDCOM file they are still in the 'as entered' order (which, of course, is 'higgledy-piggledy') and this is my original problem/query. N...

Sources

Thank you. However, when I use a website generator it produces the list of Sources in sequential order i.e. the order in which they appear in the GEDCOM. This is quite 'higgledy-piggledy' whereas I would like the list to appear in some ordered sequence e.g. Source type sequence. To do that I have to...

Thanks, Jane, but that just renumbers Sources sequentially within the GEDCOM file.

Is there a utility to sort Sources in Record Id sequence within the GEDCOM file?
Or will I have to edit the GEDCOM?

Blood relatives

Thank you. I don't use Queries much so I appreciate the help.
I managed to create a custom query from the one you recommended and it gives what I need.

Blood relatives

Thanks, but I suppose I mean more than just direct relations, eg. my great-grandfather had a daughter who married a Green and their daughter married a Hale and had a son - therefore, I am related to some Hales out there.
I would appreciate some direction.

Blood relatives

Is there any query or report that lists just blood relatives (ancestors and descendants) of a selected person? I want to find out all the surnames that I'm related to directly.

List of Addresses

I've tried to produce a list of all addresses but am unable to do it. If I select Event Addresses it only lists the last address for any individual e.g. the last Resident address rather than all Resident addresses.
What do I need to do?

Probate event

Does anyone have a Probate Event (or Will Event)?
What values would one use for Place, Address, Type, Responsible Agency?

Re-Order Out-of-Sequence Data

I used this tool after entering various occupations, residences & education details for an ancestor. It has worked very well except for 1 Education event in 1878 which has been left after the Death and Burial events in 1946. Has anyone heard of this? Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Importing GEDCOM from Generations

Thanks Jane,
I tried it but it still leaves a lot of TAGS unprocessed. I haven't defined any TAGS myself in Generations, it just seems that some fields you can use are not GEDCOM-standard.
Please can I send the GED file to you for your perusal, when you have the time?

Importing GEDCOM from Generations

I'm using FH 2.2 demo version and I really like it. However, before I decide to buy I want to know that I can convert my Generations data into FH. I have encountered the following problems with the GEDCOM exported from Generations :- 1. Addresses not imported; 2. Images not imported; 3. Sources impo...
