Parent Pictures and Child Pictures

That helps, thank you. I never thought of that.

Children's Relationship to Parents

I'd tried that, but by itself it leaves the column space in. You need to untick both Child Pictures and Children's Relationship to Parents

Oh. I've just discovered The Wishlist. I should have used that. Sorry.

Brian

I usually work with Focus and Properties windows side by side with the focus window showing Spouses and Children . It would be nice if the space for the names in the focus window were a bit larger. I don't use the Rel column feature, and wondered if I could remove its column from the focus window so...

Thank you. I have learnt a lot over the last few days.

Brian

Yes, but I was trying to do it all in one box. Seems better to spread the info over one box per marriage.

Ahh. If I had read Tatewise's posts on witnesses in diagrams elsewhere a bit better I would have spotted

It is NOT currently possible to have one Template that will loop through all Birth Events listing all Witnesses,

Which confirms what I thought.

Sorry to have duplicated matters.

Brian

So have I got this right? As Tatewise said, the problem does indeed lie in looping within a group. Something simple like %INDI.FAMS>MARR% %INDI.FAMS>MARR._SHAN[1+]% will not work if the second line is ticked as Group with previous line even though according to the help pages You can use looping indi...

You must have chosen Current Spouse's Family as Spouse and not Current Family as Spouse that I advised.

I tried both. No difference.

Anyway, I've unticked the grouping box and I'm happy now.

Thank you for your help.

Brian

On investigating further, I had group with previous line ticked. The previous line being the marriage detail templates I had cloned from my BMD options set.
Unticking solved the problem.

??

Brian

Still doesn't work. Using the assistant as you suggested meant the template changed slightly to %CUR_SP_FAMS>MARR._SHAN[1+]% rather than %CUR_FAMS>MARR._SHAN[1+]% but still shows only one witness. %CUR_SP_FAMS>MARR._SHAN[2]% shows the second. Are there any other flags/boxes I need to set/tick? I got...

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing... I'm trying to list the witnesses to marriage events in my diagrams. I've nicked Tatewise 's template (Thank you) These are a little different for Family events such as Marriage and Divorce. Template: Marr. Witness: %CUR_FAMS>MARR._SHAR[1+]% - %CUR_FAMS>MAR...

trying to do 2 updates on the same thing at the same time

....is probably a bad thing, I agree.
Good programming wouldn't have allowed me to do it , but it's a very good program on the whole so I'll forgive them.

I'll send an email to calico; thank you for the address.

Brian

However I would always edit the Place before or after the merge, and would not expect to be able to edit in the middle of the merge. But why not? This all cropped up when I was persuaded to clean up my places/addresses as a result of trying to use the new map facility. I found a number of times whe...

I apologise if this is not the right forum for this, I looked at the FH site, and here but could find nowhere better. If wrong, please move it. Anyway... The bug can be reproduced in the sample project. Tools -> Work with Data -> Places... pick two places to merge. Merge Now, in the new window, choo...

A neater solution than mine, thank you

Brian

Tatewise: because I have many more records linked to the old type 2 source than had the duplicate occupation problem. In my early days of setting up the tree I used those type 2 source types for names, estimated birth years and so on. In due course, I'll clean everything up, but with over 900 indivi...

Ah, If I use the Textif function in the expression field I can do it.

I have redone all my census image data using Ancestral source method 1 after first using method 2. I am now happy with the result except for the fact that some facts are now duplicated - specifically occupations. These show up as identical except for different sources - one has an AS type 1 source, ...

Thank you very much for your replies. I had not realised that All enabled me to see the notes - that's a help, thanks tatewise. (and the answer to your question of why not use method 1, is that that is how my database grew before I switched to FH.  If I could now change - easily - I might, but I don...

This is my first posting and I'm not sure if this is the right forum; although my problem became apparent after using Ancestral Sources, it's something I want to do in FH, but I think I can't. Anyway... I use method 2 in Ancestral Sources and this gives me the option of storing a transcript of a cen...
