Just for the record I have successfully installed FH6.1 (first time) on a machine running Windows 10 (version 1511) and Trusteer Rapport (or Endpoint Protection as it is now called). I have not tried everything yet but all the web links seem to work and I get the same results as reported with filter...

I started using FTA for the purpose of adding Lost Cousins. After a few hiccups I got this working and then I started to look at other aspects of FTA. The latest version has tabs for Sources and Facts. I began comparing the number of records for a particular source and fact on FH and FTA and I found...

Mike

Thank you. They have thrown up several errors and inconsistencies

Jane Should the plugin run without producing a report? Mike I think I have/had some individuals with death events but no facts attached. They may well be dead but I do not like to add the death without some evidence. As an aside, I have discovered that many of the problems I have have come from reco...

Jane

Thanks. I will try it. I was thinking of one that would clear all empty fields. I occasionally have problems with deaths.

I have been thinking about this. Would it be worth producing a Plugin to check for blank fields in Fact Sets?

One problem is that in the Property Box you cannot tell if they are blank or simply missing.

Mike I have cracked it! The person I was using as the source of the report happened to have a place field in the birth record which was blank. I have now removed the blank place field and all is well. Thank you for your patience. Is this a bug that should be reported? I seem to have found a lot this...

I have 20 generations set but there are only 12. I get the same result if i change to 12 generations.

I am only selecting a single individual.

I don't understand it. It has now started crashing on the laptop with places selected in the index. So I started chopping. The tree is very lopsided at the second generation with about 1,660 people on a single line and 7 on the others. When I try to do a report with the 1,660 it works but I can see ...

Mike The desktop machine (windows 8.1)) has an Intel i-3 2120T processor 2.6GHz and 4GB RAM The laptop Windows 7 SP1 has an Intel i-3 2330M processor 2.2GHz and 4GB RAM So on the face of it the laptop is slower! I do get the not responding message on the laptop but not on the desktop. On the laptop ...

Mike I have now tried to produce the report on the Windows 8.1 machine without an index. It does work but it took a relatively long time (c 1 min) but it happened almost instantly on my Windows 7 machine so it does look as though there may be more than one problem. I have not really tried to produce...

Spoke too soon.

I have added create index in my laptop and it crashes. Create index was set on my other machine so that might be the problem.

Mike

I have tried to produce the same report, with exactly the same project file, on my laptop which is running Windows 7.

It worked without a problem.

I am not sure that I have the same settings on each machine so I will investigate further but WIndows 8.1 may be the culprit.

I am trying to produce a descendants by generation report for 1667 people. Every time I try I get the message that the program has stopped working and windows is searching for a solution (which it never finds!). I am using FH 5.0.9 and Windows 8.1 I have searched on previous messages and as a result...

Jane

Yes that has cured the problem.

When I run the Clean Living People plug-in I cannot get the dates of living people to be removed. In fact, the only tab that does work is change living names to initials and surname.

What can I do?

I am running FH 5.0.9 on Windows 8.1

Mike Thank you I have checked that i am on default settings and the Omit Duplicate table is blank. I have over 100 entries ranging from 14% - 42 points to 6% - 20 points Jean and Joan Barber Fletcher are siblings, in fact, twins. They were born in same place in same year and I know of no free method...

Mike I am beta testing Family Tree Analyzer and Alexander has added a duplicate detection tab. When I run it I get some duplicates which the plugin is not showing. Some examples are Jean Barber Fletcher and Joan Barber Fletcher born on the same day in the same place. They might be twins I have no id...

Mike
The version of AS I am using (3.2.3) comes with pre-loaded Irish templates. You have to change the country to Ireland to use them but I had not noticed the tick box about reference ID. Always something new to discover.

Thanks to those who have replied. I am glad to see that it is not just me who is having difficulty. I am not so bothered about identifying the images as I do store them in separate folders, in fact I have separate folders for Ireland, so that is not the issue. I have also come to the conclusion that...

I have found some ancestors on the 1901 and 1911 Irish censuses via Ancestry which has recently started listing them. The way it works is that Ancestry provides a link to the record on the National Archives of Ireland website which then provides a link to the original image. (This is in PDF format b...

Sorry

I did a search on 'condition' and not 'marital status'!

Nick

I have just noticed that if somebody is a widow(er) but then they subsequently remarry the condition still comes up as W.

I know it's a small point but....

Andrew Braid

Nick Thanks I'll do as you suggest.  I have Family Historian on Dropbox as I use it on both my desktop and laptop computers.  I have looked at the ProjectOptions file and to my untutored eye it appears a mess! For each census year there are three entries; one with Computer=Desktop, one with Computer...

John

No it is not read-only
